That’s the problem. A lot of people mistake connection for relationship. With electronics it’s faux connection. We need to put more phones and electronics down and have actual personal connection.

I’m sorry to hear that man! Glad she was able to come home from NICU.

Some things I’ve done that have helped: stay off of fb, IG, etc. Even here, get off. Go to the gym and stop drinking. I workout 3 hours a day now after work to clear my mind and I’m in the best shape I’ve been in since I was 32, I’m almost 40 now. Watch more Netflix than cable. Find a show to binge on maybe. Day trips with my gf help on weekends. I stay distracted and busy, but most of all I stay happy.

There’s actually some really good advice in many of these replies. I think what you take from these is:
1) MANY people feel the way you do right now;
2) Generally drinking a lot and staying up late doesn’t help;
3) Exercise more.
4) This will pass and it seems quite likely that November will confirm that a lot of people have had enough of this crap.

It all be ok. There are some things that will help, the previous replies suggest some good things, and some ignorant things. Our wonderful America will be ok. My take: from one notable fella, a man without a purpose is like a ship without a rudder...proactively take on something that has your interest, perhaps concentrate on what your fiancée likes to do in any respect and be thoughtful and selfless, be a leader in your relationship and take her to do it. I sense you are probably not a 'practicing' believer, that's ok. Would ask that you go online or if you have a bible in the house, take a read of Philippians 4: 6-7. I read this almost everday. Congratulations on your relationship with your honey, be happy, no worries....all with be ok.

Find God and read the Scriptures. You'll find inner peace.

You need to stop immediately. You know that drinking is only going to make it worse.

Quit drinking. Alcohol is a depressant.

This is exactly what they want. Turn off the TV/Radio
and pay attention to what’s in your control (friends/family). We’ve got a long camping trip planned in the mountains coming up and can NOT wait to get away. I suggest you do the same.
It’s all good bro. Always protect and take care of things YOU can control.

Emotionally, I feel like giving up.
If you're looking at it from the perspective of a Trump supporter, this is a primary strategy of the left, so don't fall into it. They seek to make everyone so miserable that we finally give in and acquiesce in a change of leadership. Ultimately whatever it takes to make it stop and redeem some peace in our lives and in the country as a whole.
Watch out for their slick efforts in that regard and perhaps try out any of the reasonable suggestions provided herein throughout the thread.

OP, you aren’t alone. Lately I have felt a bit overwhelmed like I never would have thought. The effects of the COVID shite down have taken a toll in more ways than one, then we have this societal issue which is trying to instigate everyone with a message that is literally trying to shame you for not getting involved.
But seriously I think Taking a break from the internet, including this site is the only cure.

I mentioned to one poster (who replied that he sort of felt the same) that I have zero ideation or intention to harm myself BUT a fatal car accident or death by heart attack might not be so bad.
Yesterday my spouse got home from work and asked how my day was ... I was able to say I got up, showered and brushed my teeth. My productiveness is nil other than what absolutely HAS to be done.

Cancel culture is mostly irrelevant, the people doing it are. Just get off social media for awhile, especially FB, Twitter, etc. Even here if you have to.
Corona is what has you messed up. We never dreamed the gov't would come in and force small businesses to shut down, make going to church a crime, in some states, not even having a house party or going out on the boat. Even if you don't go to church, work in a business impacted by all that, it still gonna mentally bother you. Just knowing that here in America, the gov't can come in and literally strip you of those rights, and over a period of several months, can have more of an impact on your mental health than you'd think it would.
I mean, it's almost rude to try and shake someone's hand or give a hug now. Nothing over the last few months is normal. As far as rioting and shite, that's the people's fault who live in those cities, who elected those mayors, don't move to those cities.
