To tg-crystal.. got a dose of tough love for ya... get ready, You are traumatized by what you see and hear in the news because you choose to be. I've read a good number of decent responses with suggestions and instead of showing appreciation and projecting the slightest positivity in response you just keep fucking whining. I learned something very valuable some time ago- ALMOST without exception nothing besets anyone in life that they don't bring on themselves in one way or another. I can certainly say that about myself. The violence in the news bothers ya?? STOP FUCKING WATCHING IT!!! Jesus H. Christ can the solution be any simpler??? Oh, and does the memory of news past just keep haunting and haunting and haunting and haunting and haunting and haunting you ad nauseum??? Drink five shots of tequila, five beers, five martinis with sweet vermouth and repeat this until passed out. I assure you that the hangover you get the next day will make you forget all about the news trauma that waits in ambush for you.
no, this is not an act. i dont choose to let it bother me, it just does. im sorry if the bad things in the world bother me. im sorry to bother you all. yeah i guess suicide is a option. thank you all for your solutions.
If things outside your corner of the world have that level of power over you then you should be seeking help somewhere besides a internet forum. You refuse to be consoled or helped- you just keep laying it on thick and it gets VERY tiring to deal with from a point of wanting to help. It sucks the energy out of people willing to give you an audience. You cannot stop the volumes of bad news and violence from happening... the ONLY thing you have the power to do is control how you react to them. You have refused to do so from what I see- so the problem isn't the information, which most others seem to find a way of coping with... the problem is you. You need to fix that- or have someone qualified to do so.
Second that. The news fucking suck, I never watch them. Worst show ever. Because they only tell you the bad shit. There's a lot of great and beautiful things happening all over the world, all the time. That should be your consolation. If that doesn't help, stop sobbing like a baby and run off and do some volounteerwork or something.
