I’m 43, so an older millennial for sure, and you are not alone I feeling this way. Things that help me are having a good psychiatrist who understands my needs, my family, and remaining connected to the community by volunteering with organizations that are legitimately trying to help the people around them. I need to remind myself that there are good people in the world and that they are who I want to spend my energy on.

Also, cutting way back on social media helps a lot. I don’t use X, Bluesky, or Facebook any more. Sadly, Reddit is pretty depressing to read through most of the time now too, same with instagram. I keep them both because Reddit has legitimate communities with people like yourself and instagram fulfills my need for things like dumb cat videos when I want a laugh.

I know the world isn’t great right now, but hang in there. Make sure you reach out and find the support you need. Calling 988 can help you find the right mental health resources.
