Doomscroling
We all have our vices. Some people stress-bake, others binge-watch reality TV. Me? I doomscroll. It’s become my digital bad habit, my nightly ritual of self-inflicted anxiety. Sound familiar?
You know the drill: It’s late, you’re exhausted, but instead of switching off, you find yourself sucked into the vortex of social media. The endless feed of perfectly curated lives, the inflammatory headlines, the outrage-inducing comment sections – it’s a recipe for mental meltdown.
Some might say it’s harmless, just a way to unwind after a long day. But I’m here to tell you, after 20 years of writing about tech’s impact on our lives, that doomscrolling is anything but harmless. It's a silent epidemic, eroding our mental well-being one scroll at a time.
