Missbelle, thanks for the article.

Joannasouras, I don't watch the news, read the paper or look online. I avoid the media pretty much all together. I also don't watch many movies or tv shows unless they are feel good ones. It might seem counter intuitive but I think the less I watch this stuff the more I can give back, by being able to remain positive, loving and caring and continue to try to spread it around. I know what's going on in the world as other people talk to me about things. It just seems less damaging to my psyche this way. Actually when I was in an intensive group therapy for depression we were told to avoid different media sources.
