I try to stay away from the media; but it's hard because my son has Asperger's, and he's really (I mean really - he gets upset if he misses it) into watching the local news and the Weather Channel. But I'm suffering from anxiety, and it doesn't make me feel good at all. Not even the Weather Channel. Notice the words they use. "Threatening, severe, devastating winds, etc." And the same on the news plus images of cop cars, ambulances... It makes me very uncomfortable. When you're feeling bad, it's just best to avoid it.
