It can be difficult. It seems silly it would be hard to quit, but it can be. A lot of my psychosis was tied up in different news topics I chose to follow. I just try to use my memories about how twisted my brain was as motivation to stay away. Luckily I don't use any of the major social media programs. I think that would make it harder to filter what I see on a daily basis.

I went pretty much cold turkey. I deleted all of my links to the sources I used for news. I unsubscribed from all of my youtube channels and I deleted news apps on my phone. I adjusted alert settings for anything I couldn't delete. I also keep the tv off for the most part and only watch shows on Netflix. I'm choosy about the shows I watch too. Some are triggering. I'm sure I could read news now and be fine for a while, but I don't want to get sucked back in again. Having another episode is not on my to do list, so I'm being ultra careful with the things I know I can control.
