I'm not sure how many of you are dealing with this issue, but I know I have been really wanting to keep up to date with the recent news despite the fact that it can trigger my anxiety, and sometimes depression.

Sometimes I can, sometimes I know that is truth but sometimes I get really upset at all the beautiful words that don't mean a darn thing. If they say I will take care of you, the government will do X or Y to take care of you, it is a lie to buy your vote.
I get very anxious myself watching the TV news that are the common stations selling doom and gloom and drama and Hate this politician or Hate that politician. If most of what we are spoon fed is not true, we have to get off the not true news pipeline.
i balance these two facts of my life by doing my own research. that way i get the facts without so much of the sensationalism built into the ratings race.
