The news is depressing as fuck.
The more I look around just on social media, let alone in real life, the more I realise it’s doing people’s heads in. Like, it’s really not good for us.
My own mum (retired, sat in front of TV until the weekend) is climbing the walls with anxiety about covid, bills, politics, war, and whilst she is an extreme example, I’ve been feeling it too and noticing how addicted I am to finding out the next thing.
This needs to fucking stop. She’s fine, I’m fine, yes there’s some things we need to know, but it doesn’t need to be saturating our minds and it really really is.
So I’m fucking it off. I’ve used Freedom.to to block all devices from looking at BBC/CNN/sky news etc and I’m no longer even having any radio with news on in the background in the lounge.
I invite you to join in and maybe we can focus on what is good and what serves us, and you know, live a bit.
