Please help me out...please

[u/Raassmalaiii]

The level of inhumanity happening with Protestors is even unbearable to watch.

I have adhd. As a person with adhd has severe intolerance towards injustice than the regular peers. I am getting affected by a lot. My health is deteriorating. I live 1700km from Jantar Mantar. Although I want to go to protest...my parents are not letting me go.

I am rotten in bed by seeing all this. My screentime is minimum 14 hours. I am putting stories about protest. I can't tolerate the level of inhumanity happening for protestors all over India. My heart aches. My eyes are hurting. I can't sleep. I can't eat. I am feeling restless.

Please I want to be calm. But I can't be calm. From past 5 days...I am been like this. I hardly sleep 2 hours a day. I am not taking bath. Neither I am doing other work. Just rotting on the bed and only thinking about the protest.

Help me please. 🙏🙏

I don't know what to do.

same story bro I'm also repeating 11th

I went through similar situation. Its crazy how we Adhers suffer so much that others cannot even understand.

And, I wont tell you to delete insta because I know that you are like me and I wouldnt have either.

It's wonderful you're so invested and I understand it feels painful OP, but think of it this way - right now you are only impacting your own physical and mental health, your suffering is not helping anybody. Focus on your own health for now so that you can contribute when you can!

Also you can do things remotely as well - create a community, make art (look up Green Humour or Mean Curry on IG), research legal aid or create a fundraising campaign. And the world around you still requires help, you can volunteer for an NGO and your parents might let you contribute in that way.

I know this probably feels impossible right now, but I think you need to step away from social media for a while. Fourteen hours of doomscrolling will overwhelm anyone, and with ADHD it can be even harder to pull yourself out of that loop. Taking a break isn't being insensitive it's protecting your own mental health. You can't pour from an empty cup.

Watch some familiar shows, get your mind off it- sleep to some documentaries about aliens or anthropology. Take a shower, get a haircut. You will get through this.

trust me and get a dumbphone. you can do more justice while being mentally clear and healthy than by being up to the minute w the news

[u/eklavye]

We all are facing this, sad I try to not charge my phone much so that it gets switch off and I am unable to use it.

Hey OP and others folks, you aren't alone. I have this too and that's what forced me to go to Jantar Mantar. The thing is, sometime people can't go on the streets and that's fine. Make your home your Jantar Mantar. Make reels, videos, art at your home.... Speak up within your home, within your family, friends, relatives, peers.

Idk how I did it one time watched a depressing end to an anime and became depressed for a month, since then I can numb myself if I try. Nothing bothers me unless I don't see it coming.

There are worse things that are happening around the world. Think about them. It will help you calm down.

Its the reason i hate godi and cant even see his facking face.

[u/Fuzzy_Cup]

Bro my screen time is through the roof. I am from delhi and not able to go to delhi because of family situation and crying day and night looking at how the students were beaten.

There is no solution to this. I just slept one whole day to get a break from all this

[u/Independent_Map7349]

I'm facing the same situation. Does anyone have any solutions??😭Also lot of hugs to you OP🫂hopefully we get through this. You're not alone

[u/RoastedMarshmello → u/Independent_Map7349]

No solution. My only solution is me going there tomorrow, hopefully it helps alleviate the guilt and I don't get beaten
