Do people want to see more positive posts? Do you feel the negative affects of doom scrolling?

Not really. In the past I struggled with mental health issues, but since that is resolved I no longer feel drawn to doom scrolling. If you catch yourself doomscrolling a lot maybe think about your general mental health.

Thanks, I do actively take care of my mental health. I was posting this more for other people than for myself. I think seeing too much negative news is having a negative impact on a lot of people.
