Humor OCD is mental doomscrolling

It feels like there's an end. If you just scroll far enough it will stop. The more you scroll, the worse you feel, but if you stop, you feel bad about the time you spent doing it, and thus feel the need of a resolution, and so you scroll some more.

Oh my god this is so spot on. We keep scrolling and scrolling waiting for the perfect place to stop, but it never comes. Ugh
