I’ll echo a sibling comment: you’re reading way too much news. Every one of the things you mention are headline news.

Weirdly, I have a different recommendation. Try to find an online game you like, and then devote yourself to it. I came out of my dota 2 years with a few more friends and few less points of anxiety.

That reminds me of my runescape days 15 years ago. The number of friends I made from that game was a huge help! Not only we became friends in game, but i got to know these friends IRL, i’m still in contact with a few of them. I even met them in person. Some have kids now, others still play the game and invite me to go PKing (raiding). Gaming communities are great really.
