Have you ever caught yourself scrolling through negative news late at night? You are definitely not the only one. Check out to know more about this habit!
Doomscrolling refers to the continuous act of browsing through negative news on social media, even when it causes distress or anxiety.
We engage in doomscrolling because of our brain's tendency to focus on negativity, the fear of missing out (FOMO), and the never-ending nature of social media feeds.
Doomscrolling can result in heightened stress, anxiety, and feelings of being overwhelmed. It may also interfere with sleep patterns and impact mental health.
Establish time limits, use website blockers, and focus on self-care to help break the cycle of doomscrolling.
Substitute doomscrolling with positive activities such as reading, meditating, or enjoying time outdoors. Seek out healthy alternatives to remain engaged and informed.
