It can be overwhelming as news is endless and constant now. We are bombarded with it. Switch off from it and search for good news. It makes a difference to hear about the beauty around you and in the World to balance the awful. |

"I dont watch the news i prefer to look at pictures of cute kittens and puppies and baby goats"
I was going to suggest he looks at those types of videos. I love them. They’re addictive. Really can’t help but smile at least. |

Unfortunately the news isn’t just news anymore. They just have too much power and influence of the public nowadays.
The truth is, they could slander a true life hero like Sir Captain Tom Moore into a hated figure by the weekend if they wanted and millions would be swayed. It’s upsetting
Like above.... kittens and goats are the way forward  |

This planet has been replete with death, destruction, famine, misery, poverty, injustice, illness, violence, and tragedy since life emerged.
24 hour news coverage could cause one to have an apocalyptic view, but their is an attractive alternative.
Switch off all news channels and construct one's own psychological and physical bubble from which all negativity is ruthlessly excluded; several decades ago I had an acquaintance who was overwhelmed by the world's problem and relentlessly ruminated on them; he was depressed, probably clinically.
I eventually could take no more and banished him from any contact with me and my mood has been elevated ever since.
Find what brings joy and pleasure into your life and focus on that. |

Too much news isn’t good for our mental health.
Although we are social animals we evolved to live in communities of about 200 people.
The tales of woe from the whole world can be overwhelming. |

I can't remember the last time I watched the news. I find it far too depressing. It's all doom and gloom.
If I want to know what's going on in the world I just have to look at Facebook because everything is true on there!  |

"I get my news from the Radio, far less doom and more to the point.

I gave up twitter 10 years ago, facebook 5 years ago and every other type of social media since. In the last year I have started using my phone as a phone and not playing games or looking at the internet as much. This last week excluded. Fab forums have caught me up again. But even now I'm pushing back against that. Less phone more outside
It really helped my mental health |

Best thing you can do is not be on Facebook,Twitter, Instagram etc.
Live your life without advertising what your doing etc. People lived happily before social media.
Everyday you'll read or hear about some abuse directed at someone over it, most of the time people need to not be so sensitive and cry and what are just words.
Stay off social media, stop watching the news.
The world will continue |
