Two years of being unable to get a job in the field I studied, combined with being unable to be entertained by the media I used to enjoy as a kid for very long these days (namely books and video games), plus a bad habit of doomscrolling articles about how the world sucks and is getting worse by the day and birth rates are declining and people are getting poorer and we're getting closer to WW3 and blahblahblah, means my ambition and drive is practically zero. What's the best way to fix this mindset?

Okay, crazy idea but hear me out. When you fill your brain with trash...you feel like shit. Instead of engaging with short form content that is algorithmically tailored to make you engage with it, like feeding you negativity and gloom which you don't necessarily enjoy yet are compelled by, turn off the screens, don't pick them up, and live the life that is directly around you. Poof, most of your "problems" have disappeared, because they didn't exist in the first place in any way that would ever be relevant to you save for if you were addicted to a black rectangle literally designed to make you upset for clicks. If bombs aren't falling on your house and you're not being pressed into service, there is no war, and what dirt farmers thousands of miles away are doing is irrelevant to you. Your lack of engagement or inability to hold interest in other things is almost certainly related to the fact that short form content and immediate gratification has fried your brain's ability to pay attention or decompress. Disconnect from shit that has no relevance to your actual life, simplify by cutting out things that aren't helping you or even making you happy, and what do you know, you feel better.

1. Detox: Go outside and engage in physical activity.
2. Detox: Only use your computer for study and job search.
3. Create a job search plan that doesn't involve you doing what you have been doing for two years. I mean, it doesn't work so what is required is some radical departure from that. Too big a subject to address in this thread.

I will write a brief reply since you have no attention span. Stop scrolling first. It's not a "bad habit". It's an addiction.
