So, I thought I was just about able to cope with the news again here in the U.S., mostly by not watching any on television and limiting what I read online.

But there is yet another headline of yet another violent episode. I just want to yell....."Could we humans please stop doing this to each other already?".

I'm going to think on limiting my news intake even further. And on developing my distraction abilities more, my ability to put some things aside and to focus on others.

How is everyone else coping?

yeah I don't like the news either. I read newspapers instead then I only have to read what I like.

Why don't they ever show all the good stuff that happens in the world?

That would be so helpful to so many of us, if the emphasis was on good news, on positive change. Imagine all the flash and excitement of television used for good, instead of for traumatizing us further.

I'm not advocating that any of us lie or cloak the truth, it just seems like there could be a different emphasis, along with an awareness that many of us are traumatized more than enough.

News, in general, is very triggering, imo. Even when you try to avoid it, they break into a good program for breaking news. That in itself is bad enough, but often it's only something that is over and done with, and can wait for the news hour imo.

I too wish that humans could and would treat each other with respect and leave all their evil ways & hurt behind, but the sad news is that it will only get worse...... not better.
