The Year of Doomscrolling's Emotional Cost
Presents an explanation of the concept of “doom scrolling,” describing it as the exhausting habit of endlessly consuming online content. It notes that although the term originally referred to constantly viewing negative news, it has expanded into a broader cycle of nonstop digital stimulation, often driven by short videos, memes, and rapidly shifting posts — a pattern especially common among younger users.
The excerpt highlights how this continuous input can lead to emotional exhaustion, mental overload, and a long-term dulling of one’s emotional baseline. It also points out the physical impact caused by repeatedly triggering the body’s fight-or-flight response, which can disrupt sleep, weaken immunity, and drain overall energy. Productivity and creativity tend to decline as well.
In its final section, the text offers simple, practical strategies to help break the cycle — such as using time limits, adjusting content choices, and gradually rebuilding more intentional habits — ultimately encouraging a healthier mindset and a more balanced view of the world.
