I'd been thinking about making this post weeks ago, but then dropped it. But in light of recent events it's very much back on my mind.
I know many folks with PTSD avoid the News. I can't do that and don't want to do that. It's very important to me to always be informed (in fact, it's actually more stressful having the impression of being left out of important information - talking behind your back kind. Also: only if I know as much as possible can I make informed information. Also: strong desire of knowledge).
However, with the ongoing whacky politics all over the world, all these conflicts, hate, accidents, natural disasters....the News have become a major stressor, at times even triggery, to me. And I don't quite know how to deal with that.
How you do guys navigate the News with its stressor/trigger potential these days?
