Anxiety and insomnia linked to sharp drops in key immune cells #health

Anxiety and insomnia linked to sharp drops in key immune cells
Natural killer cells act as the immune system’s rapid-response team, but the stress of anxiety and insomnia may be quietly thinning their ranks. A study of young women in Saudi Arabia found that both conditions were linked to significantly fewer NK cells—especially the circulating types responsible for destroying infected or abnormal cells. As anxiety severity increased, NK cell levels dropped even further, suggesting a stress-driven weakening of immune defenses.

It’s end-of-year concert season. Why do some kids struggle with performance anxiety?
Even megastars like Barbra Streisand have suffered from stage fright.

In a dream last night I was trying to write a post. I kept being interrupted and when I returned I'd find what I wrote had changed. The keyboard kept changing as I was typing to be "helpful." I put down my phone and picked it up again to find the app had "helpfully" filled my screen with Nazi shit. Then I realized the app was an AI post assistant, so I uninstalled it and used the website.
The post I was trying to write was, "I want to be able to have the confidentiality of cheap hot dog meat in the 90's: no one should know who or what I actually am."
It feels like a relevant manifestation of the anxiety of existing on the internet today.

The Curated Self as the New Delusion
There is a specific, modern anxiety that is difficult to name. It is not the dread of a specific event, but a low-grade, constant hum of disconnection. It’s the feeling of living in a world that is eerily frictionless, a world that reflects your own thoughts back at you with placid, unwavering agreement. It is the anxiety of a consensus of one; the quiet, digital loneliness of being the only person in your own universe.

Excellent words from @…, shared here with permission:
❝My favorite piece of advice for protests has been, “accept side quests”. Sure, you can show up, shout a bit, and go home - there's value in just uncorking some frustration. But don't look past meeting your like-minded neighbors. If you're an introvert, like me, that may induce anxiety just thinking about it. But there's all sorts of easy conversation starters - people spent time on their signs, and chances are they would love to talk about them - how they made them or what they were inspired by. Viola! Now you're talking! Everybody at a protest is looking for something - whether it is a word of encouragement or witty comment, a pointer to a place to go or a thing to join, that something may be you!❞

Trump policies spur economic anxiety in US Republican heartland: ‘Tariffs are affecting everything’ | Trump administration | The Guardian

The Trump administration began what could be a contentious process
to rework the trade deal that governs North American business this week,
as it began hearings about the
U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement that Trump signed into law in 2020 during his first term.
Farmers, academics, trade groups and others assembled in a government building south of the National Mall on Wednesday
for the first of three days of hearings
to share their assessment of the deal.

One of the more depressing things I’ve read lately:
«The timeline is no longer a source of information or social presence, but more of a mood-regulation device, endlessly replenishing itself with just enough novelty to suppress the anxiety of stopping. Scrolling has become a form of ambient dissociation, half-conscious, half-compulsive, closer to scratching an itch than seeking anything in particular. People know the feed is fake, they just don’t care.»
The Last Days Of Social Me…

The Last Days Of Social Media
Social media promised connection, but it has delivered exhaustion.

Everywhere I turn, I stumble over stories - different in details, but similar in implications - of society in decay. These include rapid growth in student food bank use, spiking anxiety among kids, random acts of aggression on public transit, rejection of expertise during crises of health, homelessness, democracy, etc, and on and on. These stories are always accompanied by hand-wringing over cause and remedy, but somehow state provision of financial resources only rarely comes up. Funny that…

It seems that both AI and climate anxiety share a common root: the current structure of capitalism.
Our system, which demands constant, unrestricted growth, shapes everything from our economy to our psychology.
In the climate crisis, it manifests as overproduction and overconsumption, while in AI, it drives the replacement of human labor with cheaper machine labor and the optimization of attention economies.

My new year resolution is simple:
1. Working,
2. Sleeping,
3. Commuting with bycycle.
Well, sleeping and commuting with bycycle are seemingly very simple, but cycling is very life changing to me.
Anxiety and depression are coming now and then. But compared to before, my mental, social and physical health are top-notch now.
My depression and anxiety are at the lowest. And I insist to focus on bycycle and sleeping to make my life even more stable.
