When your identity is being debated in headlines or threatened by policy, it’s more than just “news” — it’s personal. In a world of 24/7 updates and algorithm-driven outrage, protecting your mental health is essential. This article explores how to cope with anxiety, overthinking, and emotional exhaustion triggered by news cycles and social media — especially for LGBTQ+ individuals and others whose identities are often politicised.
