Put your health first.

It's not that I'm careless about world issues, but I've stopped reading the news daily or watching it on TV or listening to it on the radio. It just stresses me out, causes anxiety and panic attacks, I just cannot handle it. It sounds like you already have enough stressful anxiety provoking problems to deal with; put your worries about the world to the side. Concentrate on yourself first. There are so many horrible things out there we are unable to change; you have to accept that and move on to the things in your life you DO have the power to change. It is shallow, I suppose, but I have to do it to be able to function as a wife and a mother.
