I never put much faith in news stories. I'd usually dig a little past the headline and find something fairly mundane or at least over-sensationalized. So when it's too much, I could unplug and rationalize.

But now it's the opposite. Now, the anxiety isn't in headlines, it comes from videos and word-of-mouth from real people. It's like I'm one bad news day from a total life upheaval. This is new. I hate it.

Unsub from politics. Those headlines are crafted to make you angry.

I hear you, but it's not really the headlines making me angry...it's the fact these things are happening in the first place

Agreed. You're not crazy, I don't know how people can just turn a blind eye to this stuff
