I've been balls deep into everything going on for the past two years. I've spent more time than I'd like to admit on GAW, but I feel like it's taking a huge toll on my mental health and my general well being. For those of you who have taken a break, how long did you take a break from it all for and what were the results? Recharged? Nothing?

I take frequent little breaks dictated by my schedule in some ways--work, family events, garden and seedling dictates. I've been heavily following everything since 2016. But I grew up steeped in the "conspiracy" info--thank you to my Dad who recommended "None Dare Call It Conspiracy" and who listened to Art Bell all the time--so I maybe have a thicker skin on some of it that people more recently exposed.
The best advice I would offer is this: the point of power is in the present moment, the NOW. All the research online or in books or wherever takes us out of the present moment into the past or thinking about the future. That's all fine, but breaks are good. And literally anything that is in the moment can provide that for us: mowing the lawn, doing dishes, cleaning, etc. I mention those things specifically because for me bringing order when I'm frustrated about anything automatically and quickly eases my mind. In the past, when I've dealt with real depression, I've found that cleaning out closets or drawers is VERY helpful. It's almost a metaphor for what needs to happen in my mind when I'm in that state.
I specifically stay away from ALL MSM.
I hope these suggestions are helpful to you, fren. Sending you light.
