My question, my thoughts.....

How do you deal with the world? How?

Everything is on fire, and terrifying, and a shitshow….

So what's something random you do to help yourself cope?

I don’t look at the news. If the news is on, I don’t go in. You can’t escape it all, but you can keep from having it beaten into your head all day long. I think it really helps my attitude.

@Jill1990 YES.. I never watch the news either. A comedian said once they should just call the evening news "The bad news". If I really want to see news I'll see it on the internet.

@Jill1990 But don't you want to know what is going on for your safety??

@masterofyou how is knowing about the war in Ukraine or Israel going to help me. Sobbing mothers holding dead babies. How about the string of mass murders here in the states? How can I use this knowledge to my benefit ?

@Jill1990 Because it is not going to be in Ukraine or Israel for long....

@masterofyou doesn’t matter where it is, I can’t stop it, and I’m not going to crawl in a hole somewhere.

@Jill1990 Well okay good luck....
