When you’re burnt out, sometimes the best you feel like you can do, as a responsible citizen with an open heart, is try to keep up with the news. But then the heavy, inescapable load of that same news burns you out even more: The world becomes work.
Can’t Even – Anne Helen Petersen
I have to take frequent breaks from the news. It’s just too heavy, too depressing. For my own mental health I have taken a break for about a week now. I feel better.

You and me alike!
I am making a conscious effort to limit my news this last several months actually. At least compared to what I used to monitor. I’ve been a lifelong news junky. Can’t do it now. Blood pressure just goes up through the roof
