    i dunno man if you turn off the news and only look at headlines occasionally, the world doesn’t seem like it’s falling apart. i mean it definitely is, but from where you’re standing everything seems fine. works for me

      It also depends on your personal life, financial stability, and community support.

      Some people are seeing things fall apart even without getting it from the news.

      look at headlines occasionally

      No way. If you only look occasionally you have no chance to normalize all the crazy stuff in the previous 12 hours and it all hits you at the same time.

      The news don’t get any less crazy if you don’t look for a while. That recommendation was for the time when 24 hours news had to make shit up to fill their time.
