What Is Doomscrolling Doing to Your Mental Health?
You said, “Let me just check my phone for 5 minutes.”
Thirty minutes later… you’re still scrolling through bad news, arguments, disasters, relationship drama, and one depressing story after another. 😩
That’s doomscrolling.
And although scrolling can feel like you’re “staying informed,” constantly consuming negative content can leave your mind feeling overwhelmed, anxious, restless, or emotionally drained.
You may notice:
• Increased anxiety
• Difficulty switching off your mind
• Poor sleep
• Feeling constantly tense or worried
• A negative outlook on life
• Checking your phone compulsively
Your brain needs breaks too.
Try this today: put your phone down for 30 minutes and do something that gives your mind room to breathe.
And if you constantly feel overwhelmed, anxious, or emotionally exhausted, you don’t have to figure it out alone.
