All or nothing tends to be the reaction to watching news coverage in the US these days.
Either people are glued to the breaking news and twists and turns of the current government or studiously avoiding the news.
One facebook friend was discussing this on her timeline this week. She is a “watcher.” She says it is like watching a train wreck; she can’t turn away.
Other friends, who used to watch the news on a regular basis, are taking a mental health break. They are avoiding the news because it is causing too much stress.
I am in the “watching” camp because I am trying to stay on top of developments so I can continue to write to elected officials on a variety of topics of concern. It is stressful, though, especially with the stresses of everyday life in addition.
Who knows? At some point, I may switch over to “nothing.”
