I really don’t think we as humans are ment to see as much bad shit as we do every day like my nervous system is always on edge every time I open the news because I know I’m gonna be bombarded with just atrocity after atrocity it’s exhausting
This is why I don’t read the news at all. If I hear about it it’s whatever. I don’t go out and seek it

I deleted the news app after the election bc it was giving me panic attacks but even just on social media especially on Reddit you literally can’t escape it and it’s sad because I’ve always prided myself on being informed but my anxiety is just through the roof

I’d rather be not informed then wanting to kill myself all the time. People will get mad that I say that but fuck them. I need to put my mental health first and you do too

I’ve been called it all. Republican. Fence sitter, centrist, reactionary, all because I don’t consume news media because it makes me mentally unwell. I don’t give a shit about what other people think, they can go fuck themselves.
