Hi. Are you doomscrolling? A lot of news happened today, and the wildfire in Los Angeles is significant in scope and damage. It's understandable if you're worried. But staring at your phone for hours won't make you feel better. You still deserve time to rest and recover. Try not to stay up too late.
