Does anyone else find the news overwhelming ?
Yes, so I now completely avoid it. I noticed during COVID that it was too much, but I tried to keep up because rules and advice changed so much then. But it just gets more and more depressing, with people being just more horrible each day. So I don't watch or read it anymore, if it's part of a wider world that is outside of my immediate control, then I'd rather live in ignorant bliss.
