[quote=Anonymous]I don’t, either. I stay away from social media (I’m on it but I unfollow anyone who posts about politics) and I don’t watch the news. I listen to 2 podcasts, one from each “side” although both are fairly moderate. This feels very balanced and sustainable for me. I can tell that political posts on FB have a huge negative impact on me, I can feel my blood pressure and anxiety rise, even if it’s something I agree with. My mental health has gotten SO much better since giving it up. I’m still empathetic and there are issues I care about. But being in a constant state of “fight or flight” mode (which is exactly what everyone is in - fight mode) means I can’t help anyone. [/quote]
