We managed to get in touch with ItsTheCess and they agreed to have a little chat with us. "I don't remember exactly what I was doing right before I posted it but I can guess the news cycle had been more depressing than normal that day," the Redditor told Bored Panda. "The question itself was almost sarcastic. 'There's so much evil happening in the world right now, is anything good actually going on?' Part of me expected to get downvoted into oblivion and just a few comments saying some variant of 'No.'"

ItsTheCess said the replies really stuck with them. "The fact that literally anyone took the time to give real answers and not just some variant of 'No' meant a lot to me. I particularly enjoyed the answers that pertained to space, such as the JW telescope, or the medical field, such as the new treatments for cancer, because scientific advancement is something I hope to never stop seeing or learning about."

As Pamela Rutledge, director of the California-based Media Psychology Research Center, explains it, our tendency to doomscroll “really just describes the compulsive need to try and get answers when we're afraid." We do have to assess whether new information constitutes a threat. "We are biologically driven to attend to that," Rutledge said.

"Unfortunately, journalism to some degree plays to that tendency,” she added. Provocative headlines and stories draw in readers because they elicit fear and urgency. We tell ourselves, if I know all the latest news, I can better protect myself and my family.

And while this soudns reasonable, most people scroll well past the point of ascertaining any valuable information.

If You're Tired Of All The Depressing News, These 50 Wholesome Stories Might Just Balance Everything Out I was at the Phoenix airport a couple weeks ago. An older gentleman sat next to me at our gate. Both his feet were wrapped in some sort of bandage and he was struggling to get around with a cane.

On his other side were a pair of teenagers just giggling over kitten videos on their phones. They were strangers but made sure this man got helped to the restroom, had a drink, carried his bag, got to his seat, had access to a wheelchair when he got off the plane! It was seamlessly selfless.

The kids are alright. They really are. I'm 47. I am seeing it around me so often.

A day of scrolling through positive news probably won't erase or counteract the habits we've formed from months or even years of doomscrolling and their negative effects on our mental wellbeing, however, good news do, in fact, bring us joy.

From what they see in the media, ItsTheCess believes publishers should really step up and cover more positive stories. "I know they don't do it because it probably doesn't equal rating or at least they think it doesn't equal ratings. Good things are happening. Good people are out there. People should be aware of that too," the Redditor highlighted.

"That balance is incredibly important to me and I believe it should be important to everyone. All that negativity takes such a toll on the mind; it's not healthy or sustainable," they said.

"[I would like to] remind everyone reading this to be kind to those around you and those who you interact with online. You never know what someone is going through and you don't want to add to it. The only way to get kinder people into the world is to be one," ItsTheCess added.

I'm really pleased that many people have helped to raise mental health awareness. That can only be a good thing, but we need to start turning that awareness into tangible resources that the psychiatric services so desperately need. Better pay for staff would only lead to better care. I know of one ward which was understaffed last summer to the point that the patients were only allowed outdoors access for three fifteen-minute periods per 24hr day. Whilst awareness is great, it isn't quite enough. For instance, I am aware that I am a terrible singer (as are my family and neighbours) but without a tangible injection of cash so I can take singing lessons, nothing will change and I will continue to howl like a strangled cat. My family and neighbours will continue to be aware that I am making a hellish sound but will be unable to improve their situation either. I suppose that what I'm trying to say is that having more people know that I can't sing doesn't improve my singing.

I don’t think an extremist, power grabbing SCOTUS (Supreme Court Of The United States) acting as an arm of the Republican party (Trump) shifting control to the states to eliminate abortion care and contraceptive choices/rights, in addition to forcing their other views on the MAJORITY of Americans qualifies as, “Good Things Happening In The World Right Now”. The founding fathers of the nation would not approve of the way they are defiling democracy.
