This isn't going to go over well but it needs to be said:
The solution is obvious and simple...don't go online so much.
It's not nourishment. It's not protection. It's not procreation. It's a fucking slot machine, and the odds will *never* ve in your favor. Succumbing to FOMO is not going to fix and/or change anything.
The Truth is: The System is not designed for Us, it's designed for Them. (Note: There is a spectrum of Thems, choose your poison). To say the answer (i.e. memes) is more of the same (i.e., online is the problem) is naive at best. While I appreciate ppl trying to "self medicate" memes are an enabler. They are a beer & a shot sitting in front of an alcoholic. It's the inevidible waiting to happen. (Note: I'm not making light. Not at all. I have friends doing the 12 Steps. But having an internet hangover and going back for more and more...what is that???)
The point is, memes as a "cure" will only last so long. Eventually it won't be funny any more. The solution is to realize The System is not looking out fir you, and to overcome the gravity of FOMO.
