Doomscrolling

The compulsion to keep scrolling through bad news, catastrophe, and outrage—a strange itch where anxiety becomes the currency of engagement and fear masquerades as awareness. You don't actually absorb the information; you're unconsciously trying to process a sense of danger your body registers but your mind can't resolve.
