Possible trigger:
whenever I saw or heard anything about it before, so I don't watch news, don't look at news sites, and I unfollowed every single person on my Facebook friends list who posts about it constantly so I don't have to see that in my newsfeed every time I log on. Instead I see tons of posts/pictures of cats from cat groups I'm in which makes me feel happy.
