I will mostly cover topics which were talked in the media due to the fact I currently read such a magazine
January: We all hoped the major crises would end. Many hoped that covid might be gone soon...but then February happened
February: Olympic games in China
Start of a nightmarish war which is still ongoing
March: Will Smith smacking Chris Rock in the face and the media dramatized that a lot
Many analysts predicted Ukraine would collapse within weeks and they surprised everyone with their stamina and bravery
April: Macron wins the election in France
In many countries there are debates about military/financial aid for Ukraine
War crimes are reported the pictures go around the globe
May: Reports about the abuse of the Uigurs in China get published. Not sure how big that topic was in other countries
June:: Amber Heart vs Johnny Depp court trial got way too much attention.
July: Boris Johnson has to leave his office because there was one scandal too much
Shinzo Abe gets assassinated and dies
August: Trump's apartment gets raided
September: The Queen of England dies. Personally I don't like the monarchy.
October: Elon Musk acquires Twitter and fires a huge amount of employees
A young woman gets probably killed in Iran which starts huge protests
November: The soccer world cup in Qatar starts. In my country there were a lot of debates about the ethics of it
December: The war in Ukraine is ongoing
Inflation still robs the common men
For many this year was exhaustive. As I said in a different thread my personal year was not as horrible as past one's. But I am fucking anxious that my agony just repeats.
I probably have forgotten a lot of news and events. If you want you can add some events. When I looked up these events I was kind of surprised. I forgot a lot for example the election in France, all the hollywood drama. It is probably a good sign that I forget such scandals fast. They got way too much attention in the first place.
My healthy friends often describe how fast the time is running for them. Personally this is different for me. I think people who suffer a lot might have a different perception of time. This is probably a bold claim and this is probably not a universal law. But when I do something which is unpleasant and exhaustive I have the feeling time runs very slow. And since I do a lot of unpleasant work (due to my OCD) I often have the feeling everything is so slow. Maybe I am a masochist (but without the sexual component). I often treat me way too harsh and I demand a lot from myself. I torture myself on a daily basis. I pressure myself way too much. But this is off-topic.
