Unable To Deal With News/world Events.

[Deleted member 29920]

I find it very scary. But I feel I'm becoming.. Desensitised over time, because so much just keeps happening, it's, I kind of expect it now. I find it hard to avoid. I partly check just to make sure my own area is safe. But yeah, I'm scared.

But yeah, I'm scared.

The exact reason I avoid it. Paranoia is already a common PTSD symptom, why pile that on top of it?

Local things, I do not watch local news either. If its big my dad will advise me and if its something I cant handle I dont listen to it. Its simple. Filter what i can and cant handle, or what drives up the terrified feeling.

I went for three years not watching the news and I got so used to it. It made a huge difference in my life.

I do not watch the local news, nor get a newspaper, and I only watch important events now to get re educated on what is going on with this upcoming election.

I tell you this because I have done it quite successfully. I wish you the very best.
