yes, pit bull attacks and child abuse

Yes there are articles or stories that are disturbing but I would say nothing is a trigger. I hate the term trigger, I feel that there is something that upsets people in life but come on labeling it....

I can't even watch the news half the time. I cry at the drop of a hat and missing children, victims of abuse, foreclosure stories, anything heartwrenching makes me so sad, I can't control it.

Yes I hate to hear when a child dies and sometimes the news is so depressing it is hard for me to watch.

Yes news about the government cutting benefits, pushing people off incapacity, removing security and making life harder. The world is there but I am a bit parochial.

I don't even Have television anymore, smile. But the news still causes me to talk Loudly back to it - whether it be at my parents' house w/their tv, or radio, or net, etc.

I don't get triggered, exactly - I get Frustrated by All of it. Stupid people. *sigh*

I don't like politics, political people or the news. I feel like you screw up your own life worrying about things that you can not control and piss you off.

I prefer to watch shows with pretty girls, skiing or cars in them. I care about women, clothes, working hard at my job, skiing, beautiful trees and stuff like that.

Bunch of pissy annoying people that have no friends watch the news.

And, oh yeah, it does trigger me, I don't know if that meand bipolar.

But it does stress me out and make me grumpy.

The food network is about as close as I get to the newes these days. When my balls fall off I think my interests might change LOL

No - It is the real world. I like to live in the real world and know what is actually happening.

Good point, LOL.


Ok, today tons of innocent people were murdered, raped, tortured, kidnapped and displaced by their homeland.

today some multimillionaire is getting out of fines he had to pay for never paying taxes

And tomorrow all of this shit is just going to get worse.

I just prefer to worry about things I can control, thats all.

agree with Chanel.

things can certainly disturb and upset but that's human, not a BP thing

I can cope with the news.As long as I don't analyse the way it's been edited.
I detest advertisements.So if I do watch TV it's mainly BBC.I caught the whole coverage of Mia Farrow in the live trial then wondered why I watched it ? I know TV is Satan's fish-hook but what about the beautiful women on there ?
I'm still working on that part.

My PTSD is triggered by hearing of the abuse that happen to children. I have found a new station out of Atlanta that focuses more on the good stuff than the bad.
