Imagine waking up in the morning and reading shocking news about wars, starvation and collapse of economy. I want something pleasant and positive to usher me into the day. I should be careful of the media I am consuming. I also decided to limit my messenger contacts to certain people. I dont want receiving messages that are depressing or hurtful from people from my past, distant relatives or whatnot. I need to be this strict because my mental health is very sensitive.

I read news because for us it is important to know what is going on, we are too close to Ukraine to ignore.

I understand you have to always be prepared. IT must be stressful. About China attacking Taiwan for sure I will hear it from neighbors and officemates. So I wont watch youtube channels about that anymore. We dont have a bunker or strong army what can we do but accept our fate.

@yoalldudes - We are very stressed here in Europe. From May 1st Russia will stop supplying gas and gasoline, let's see what happens. All the Swiss homes have an atomic shelter in the basement. We have one.

I have not sorted of the Youtube channels I subscribed yet. I subscribed different kinds of channels and usually it won't be something bothering for me.

Yep, the news is scary. Everyday, there's bound to be some kind of terrible news or another. I just wish everyone to be safe, sound and hunger-free; especially those in poor countries. A lot of generous people have donated money and etc to charities, but it's still not enough.

I suspect a lot of those funds for charity are misappropriated by the middlemen and are not sent to the poor persons at all.

@yoalldudes You are most welcome.

I have also stopped reading or watching the news for as long as I can remember. When I needed to stay current, I would ask my dad to give me bites of the latest developments. There is a lot of negativity in today's news, and that makes me feel anxious and scared

If it bothers you much then I guess you should avoid them. But I am one that wants to be updated as much as I would want or not want to hear about. I think that the more information you know the more you can be prepared for what is coming in your life. I just see to it that I do not overdo it by filtering those that are true and not false information around the net.

@yoalldudes That's true, but it's not always the case for bamboo as they can also break when very strong winds do come.

I think constant barrage of those horrific news do more harm than good. It is better to read them in a newspaper, and watching needs to be reserved for only uplifting and heart warming contents.

It has been 1 day since I have done that and I am happier today. Although the war and pandemic is at the back of my mind. 2nd booster rollout in our country now.
