As I’ve mentioned before, I suffer from clinical depression.
I also have a lot of anger simmering just below the surface.
Reading the news lately has only worsened those conditions.
Therefore, for the sake of my own mental health, I will have to refrain from keeping up with current events for the foreseeable future.
I don’t like that; I try to be an informed citizen of the world, with at least some awareness of what’s going on.
But, the more news I read, or see, or hear, the closer I believe I’m getting to a complete breakdown. Seriously. 😖
And, no, the news I view is not fake, despite testimony to the contrary. Oh, if only it was.
Someday, hopefully, I can channel all this anger into some constructive, positive action.
But, at this point, it just channels into more anger. And I simply can’t take it.
I know I need help. I’m gonna see about getting some.
Wish me luck.
I think the news can get the best of us on any given day. I’ve had my days of anger over it recently as well. I think you’re doing the right thing by taking a step back. In today’s world, we all need to every now and then.

I get that. I keep going in and out of paying attention to prevent myself from completely losing it.
