I used to be a news junkie and for the life of me I cannot explain why since I would wind up horrified and depressed. And as someone with an anxiety disorder...well, I was just feeding the beast with my
news intake. Now I steer clear of news to the best of my ability. I unsubscribed from any site or page that was news-oriented or where news might seep in. Of course none of those actions protect me 100% but even if I'm at 80-85% that is a healthy change.
Wise words on this from Thoreau:
Tip: If you must have a news fix, better to read it than watch it.
