In reply to the discussion: News is making me depressed [View all]Afromania
(2,768 posts)26. NO you are not alone. Not by a long shot.
Your post, and posts like them, strikes fear into my heart. Any time away from a news source and general, seemingly extra, unhappiness on social media immediately has me sweating about how much more insane has things become.
We only have to make it a little bit farther as a country. I'm hanging on, we're hanging on, so tightly that our knuckles have gone white and our teeth are cracking from being clinched. I just woke up from an after work nap and was ready to get some things done. All of my energy has been sapped and I'm ready to just lay back down again.

You're not alone. I have stopped watching the news almost entirely.
