You have to turn off the news people.
Turn it off.
Allow yourself 1 hour of news a day.
Then go do something else.
Anything other than reading, watching, listening to what is going on in the news.
Go watch a movie, podcast, listen to music, draw, play a game....ANYTHING.
Don't....please don't sit and listen, watch, read about this day in and day out.
You will go insane...full panic...end of days mentality.
Don't. Just go for a walk.
Spring clean.
Netflix.
Exercise at home.
Do something but read, listen, and watch the news.
Find ways to pass the time without stressing yourself to an early death over it. I know it's difficult and hard to do and it's difficult and hard on every one but do all you can the manage the stress, panic, anxiety.
Stay healthy which involves taking long long breaks from it all.
Yesterday I started watching The X-Files box set from Season 1.....9 seasons of the regular 2 seasons of the new plus the movies. I'm pacing myself so I don't binge watch.
It passes the time. And that's all you need.
