Is there a term for the state of "killed yourself over last-minute conference submissions and now need a week to recover"?
Also, any strategies from group leaders who manage to prevent that?

As a professional gatherer of news I have to say one of the hardest things is staying simultaneously informed and sane.
The only thing that works for me is a balanced media diet and avoiding the sources that scramble my brain.
This means social media only in manageable doses.

something that is becoming clear tonight (hanging out with less online people) is that my mental health is dramatically worse than theirs at the moment
we’ll see how things play out as we adjust to our new, awful reality but I may need to reevaluate my relationship to online

That means the absolute worst people in the world are going to be coming here trying to turn THIS place into just as much of a shithole. Block them. Don't engage.
