How can I fall asleep knowing the amount of suffering happening in the world? All the people with terminal illnesses, chronic painful illnesses, poverty, people dying of hunger, wars, racism, oppression ...etc. the world is a terrible place, I haven't slept for days because my brain is constantly thinking about different stories I've read and heard about where people suffer till death, I want to help these people but there's nothing I can do because I can't even help myself,I can't sleep well, I don't even have a job..
These thoughts also led me to other topics such as religion and god, existence, death, afterlife (if there's any).
My brain is constantly thinking about these things and it's preventing me from getting good sleep, I wish I was a delusioned optimist who only cares about her material growth.
I don't want to go to a psychiatrist because it's very expensive here, is there anything that I could do? Books to read? Documentaries to watch? Supplements to take? I took ashwagandha and it didn't help much
