Oh that made me laugh (the kiddy rollercoaster) but it’s a good visual analogy.

Yes I have to be careful with news these days too, even the local news can be a trigger for anxious thoughts.

Does anyone have any tips for getting enough information while not getting triggered? I find the old fashioned newspaper (I read a sensible quality one) is okay as I can pace myself. Internet isn’t so good as I just keep scrolling.

Hope people are okay today, I was a little under par physically but doing okay.
