As someone who has been a freelance writer and WFH for much of the last 15 years, I totally understand then. And I can tell you that one solution that I've found personally is to reclaim the local and in-person experiences in whatever way you can. I cope by hosting trivia at a nearby bar that I bike to every week. Two hours of interacting with people and everyone having fun together despite being strangers is much more satisfying than soaking myself in social media discourse constantly.

Katherine, you may be lonely but you are not alone. I hope the various crazy ideologies fall victim to their own weaknesses before we plunge completely over the cliff into the hellscape civilization waiting in the valley below. And I keep finding signs that it just might be possible that truth is making increasing headway, even amidst the background noise.

Persevere - the way is narrow and the path can be lonely. Hopefully we will live long enough to see enlightenment become trendy again!
