My suggestion : Unplug.
No tv, newspapers, internet or radio news for 3-5 days. Longer if possible.
Turns out the sky is not falling for everyone, at all times.
We all have hard times but are often granted peaceful times in between. Plugging in keeps us in a constant state of limbo and drama.
When we have some peace we fill it with other peoples drama.
Out of societal responsibility? Guilt of privilege? Even if hard earned? I am tired of that rhetoric. I don't have much, but I can afford some peace and quiet.
Sure, we should help others where we can, but when you are drained there is no shame in enjoying your current blessing of personal peace.
There is no way of knowing when your next personal crisis is coming. To stop borrowing others problems is simply self defense.
