I am so angry at the state of the world, the way that people treat others, the way the the world is set up, literally everything makes me so mad.

Context: highly empathetic social science major who spends too much time on social media that is all about mental health, physical health, and society. I get so much depressing content online and I’ve tried shifting to more positive topics but I still get so upset by the stuff I read online, stupid people, the fact that this is just how things are. How do I let it go? I don’t want to be sent into a bad mood when I see a stupid bumper sticker or a ignorant and hurtful Internet comment.

I’ve been journaling. I’ve been taking walks. I’ve limited time on social media. But it’s also in my really life (the content I study for school can be so upsetting. the people I interact with in my town (I live in a right leaning town). And then the people in my life: some have different views than me on topics that I feel are nonnegotiable, and it makes me so upset that they don’t share my view. And a lot of people in my life do share my views but not at the same intensity (ex: white feminism, situational support for topics). So. What the hell do I do to calm the rage?
