I stopped reading/watching the news a long time ago. All it did was get me upset over things I had no control over & couldn't do anything about. I don't need to know about some sick monster keeping women chained up for years or what's going on in the Middle East. As someone with MDD & GAD, I have to guard my peace of mind & making myself worse by reading about those kinds of things benefits no one. That is just me, however.
