Doomscrolling means to spend a lot of time scrolling through news or things that make you sad

This will probably sound somewhat dismissive, but I doubt that anyone who has experienced real shit in life would be vicariously traumatized by seeing something happen on social media.

Yes. It has also been linked to diphtheria, bubonic and pneumonic plague, impotency, frigidity, auto immune disorders, automobile breakdowns. bad breath and body odor

[NathanDavis]

that definitely can't be of any help... that's for sure, no positive leading to it either

[andy530]

It could potentially depending on the content that you are scrolling
