I am finding that a lot of things are getting me down at the moment. I've found myself feeling really depressed and tearful tonight.
I haven't read a newspaper for a long time because I was brought up in a Sun reading household and I hate them now and The Daily Fail etc but I don't know what I should be reading. I don't really sit and watch the news lately either.
I get most of my news from Facebook pages like Sky News and ITV and BBC but I need to make some changes.
I'm a single mum and I've spent the whole of this lockdown just me and my dc. I haven't got family nearby or a support bubble, so I've spent too much time on SM and it just seems like the world is full of vileness.
Horrible news stories about Meghan and Harry and all the comments about her brainwashing and bewitching a poor helpless man with no mind of his own.
People arguing over people breathing too close to them in Tesco.
A woman on my local Facebook page who is suffering from long Covid which has affected her heart, being abused by a man telling her that it's not a real thing and she's been conned by the government.
I think I've probably pissed off my family tonight because they were all talking sexist shit about Meghan and tearing her apart. I should have ignored it and scrolled past but I didn't.
I can understand how people can start to feel agoraphobic because I'm starting to feel like the world is full of mean, angry people but I know logically that there are lots of nice people and kindness too it just doesn't seem so clear right now.
I've gone completely off what my question was now but I guess I just need to make some changes. I don't want to get rid of Facebook completely because my work communicates with us through the staff page and I like some book groups I'm on. I'd also miss out on local events that are happening, farmer's markets in the town etc. So I want to try to just go to groups I'm on for book chat and stuff like that.
Now the kids are back at school tomorrow and I'm still furloughed I'm going to try and go on some long walks for my mental and physical health. I am going to try my very best to read more and colour in and keep up with the housework and try to stay off Facebook. Why is it so addictive though?
I'm so sorry for that ramble! 
Anyway is it possible to read or watch actual news that is not the gutter press or sensational headlines just real news?
