I feel the same way, I instinctually open my phone to ease even the slightest twinge of boredom.

I don't think it would be SO bad if the news wasn't so depressing and horrible.

There are at least 2 incredibly sad stories on the front page of Reddit at all times it seems.

I wish there was something positive to fill the gaps.

As I was reading your post, I was wondering why I rarely see anything depressing on Reddit. And then I remembered that I unsubscribed from r/news and r/worldnews :)

It’s called unsubscribing from those subreddits. Reddit is exactly what you want to make out of it.
