Dp is great but is quite an anxious person and gets worried and worked up about things in the world relatively easily. Since the news broke about the situation in Ukraine he has been quite on edge and admitted he has been watching the news/ reading articles about it almost constantly when he's home and I'm at work. He said he'd been watching so much about it it's really getting to him and taking a toll, he had to stop the other day as it was making him so upset.
On the one hand I'm glad he is so empathetic and sensitive but I'm worried that he's going to wreck his mental health by constantly feeding the anxiety and looking at a stream of negative things. It's important to remain informed and do what we can but I also think it's not doing him any good to be SO involved with it to the point where he feels horribly guilty living his life and being 'normal'.
How do I help him? It's all a bit alien to me as I tend not to worry about things I have no control over. It's not that I don't care but I just approach it in a very different way and I don't know what to say.
