News/current affairs

Since the Palestine/Israel conflict began, I've stopped reading the news (I don't watch TV or listen to the radio, anyway).

This is to protect my mental health as my responses to the various conflicts in the world tend to either be anger or distress.

I've never done this before but for several decades of my life news wasn't so readily available.

The internet changed all that.

I don't know how long I will be able to isolate myself in this way, but I had become rather addicted to the BBC news website, constantly updating it to see the latest.

Does this resonate with anyone?

    I stopped watching the news regularly during the Scottish independence referendum because atmosphere was so horrible and it’s done my wellbeing a lot of good. Occasionally look at news websites but nothing more.

    No point in getting upset about things we cannot change.
