Re: Reading news today - serious anxiety
I know this feeling. I've never been unable to cope with the news before, but since the attacks in Paris it has been relentless reporting of deaths and disasters. I know terrible things are always happening all over the place but I can't read 20 pages of solid coverage of death. I've been going through some difficult things myself and I feel guilty saying this, but I can't cope with thinking about all the problems of the world when I feel like this.
The comments above do rationalise things, as often the way the news is reported is quite sensationalised. I've been trying to avoid reading too much news. I got into a habit of checking it multiple times a day but now I only check once or maybe twice.
