I have been doing quite well on the H.A front over the last fortnight after I deleted FB. Today I checked it for the first time and the second post I came across was about a 30 year old with stage 4 cancer. So this confirmed I should stay away. I know it's not the best solution for everyone to hide from fears but I do believe social media can make things worse. I guess healthy people don't make the news but why does it have to always be about depressing subjects? It's not as if the reader can change the fate of the subject?

I suggest at least trying it if you find health articles to be triggers like I do :)
I guess I'm just not one for too intense exposure therapy when it comes to cancer information. I wish I could be simply sympathetic instead of depressed by imagining why I probably have it too.
