Thank you for sharing this. I feel exactly same when the world is heavy and heartbreaking things are happening. I struggle with my mental health a lot anyway, so I never have news on anywhere (apps, search engines, etc.). But then, as you say, it’s such a privilege to be able to even do that when the innocent are suffering. It’s definitely a hard balance.
It’s hard to find the balance especially when the tragic news just keeps coming. I’ve been trying to seek out news intentionally and at times of day when it won’t play on my mind and keep me up all night. Thanks for being here, Jenna. I appreciate your words and knowing it’s not just me who feels this way.
That’s a really great idea! Allowing yourself some time to be informed, but not become too overwhelmed. It’s definitely comforting to know someone else feels that way!
