Has anyone stopped watching the news...

[Carrie7469]

... Just for a few days? How did it make you feel?

There was an article somewhere that suggested just consuming news once a day from a set source and otherwise avoiding it.
I actually find MN corona board even worse for virus stress so am avoiding that, and fb is doing my head in with all the look at what we did today post so avoiding that too! Feel much better just checking bbc once in evenings much less stressful!

The mainstream media seems to be getting more and more alarmist, and fixated on reporting deaths while not really asking many questions about what's going on.
I've been watching Gravitas Wion on you tube instead.

Both DH and I are avoiding the news. Its not helping, just causing massive stress and can’t help.
