I don't know how the breakdown of society makes itself felt for you, but if it's through news: take a sabbatical from news. The important stuff ("the sky is falling") will still reach you, but all the stuff that's not immediately relevant to you (i.e. everything not happening in a 30m radius around your home) isn't, and can't stress you out.

- luckylion 5y agoNo, really. Kabul being taken over by the Taliban doesn't affect you if you're living far away. And you knowing about it doesn't change anything either. Don't worry about things you have no control over. And the easiest way to not worrying about it is to not know about it. Care about the important stuff, don't care about news. News is entertainment.
