It's definitely WAY too easy to be overwhelmed by all the information surrounded STEEM, and other cryptos this week (let alone the local / world news, and other crazy political events). I think it's hard wired in our brain to take in as much data as we can to try to form a picture or definition of the world, but there's almost an infinite amount out there.
Most other addictions become destructive when you RUN OUT of what you're addicted to and go through withdrawal -- but the information addiction is troublesome because there's an effectively limitless supply, and you can rapidly head towards burning yourself out. I hope you manage to find a nice peaceful distraction soon here and let your mind rest for a while.
It's hard to get truly informed on a subject in an echo chamber. Stronger opposing voices never got the deserved attention that would properly warn potential buyers of steem sp or sbd when they were near the highs. High quality information from diverse sources is better than endless streams of the same opinion.
That's why I wander out of my favorite echo chambers from time to time.
