QUIT WATCHING OR LISTENING TO THE NEWS!

  OK, FOR ME THIS IS A BIG HELP ON MY ANXIETY LEVELS.. REMEMBER DUCK AND COVER!  they have been scaring us folks all our life with bad news, this threat that threat.. is it any wonder we do not want to leave our home or have panic attacks.    I wonder if we are just not more sensitive to this on slant of media scare tactics..

So turning the tv off,, gonna listen to the birds sing.. peace and love to all

Hi Bars,

Thanks for the input. I agree that it is very important to watch what we expose ourselves to, and to know your particular anxiety triggers!

Good advice...and keep posting.:)

Oh the 'news' is horrible for me. I read comcast.net a lot. And its got a little of everything. Sports,world news, local and celebrities. Well recently Rosie O'Donnell had an issue.

Well guess what.. I have that same issue now. I was hoping for the best for her when I read it. And I knew, I honestly knew I shouldn't open it. But 4 hours later I did. Now I'm paying for it.

Recent events with the movies theaters. Well guess what. I had a hard enough time going before (1-2 times a year) Now I can't even look at one. Let alone go to one.

I stay away from t.v news. That way I do have the option to just read or not read. I'm even staying away from my local paper online. I can't handle anymore someone dies from this or shooting here.. breakin there no thank you.

I'm in panic mode now for a few days because of Rosie. Ugh....
