Finally I had to ask my daughter's help, but I got that home screen on the iphone that shows weather, stocks and NEWS edited, and she took all the news off it. I have been completely unplugged from politics for months now (helps so much with anxiety & panic attacks), but it gets hard to avoid that screen when it comes up, now the news should no longer be there

It's nice to be able to make that decision and to act on it because it's something we can control.
I unplugged 6 months ago. Before that I had subscriptions to various news sources, some expensive ones too. I was really into the details.
But like you I found it triggering and I had a feeling things in the world were going to get bad, so I cancelled all of them and removed their apps.
I still get news, but it's when I want to read it instead of getting a constant stream of alerts and updates. It's been very helpful.
