I smoke weed and watch TV. I also take Zoloft every day and it works pretty well at minimizing my intrusive thoughts too (which mostly happen at night) so it’s like multi-pronged for me.
Idk, if you’ve been going through this for a while and nothing in this thread works, you could look into antidepressants; you don’t have to be on them forever. A lot of the common ones are somewhat affordable without insurance.
Are YouTube shorts still 1 minute maximum? Until that changes, I don’t think they’ll be a viable replacement since content longer than a minute seems to be the sweet spot for a sizeable amount of Tiktok’s user base. Especially when it comes to informative or political content.
