The news cycle is oppressive by design. Any time you're curious about events happening around you, news agencies demand you let them shove you down, sit atop your shoulders, and show you whatever horrors the day has ready and waiting.
It's wearing you down, and you're not alone.
Try interacting a different way. One that gives you more control over the fire hose.

I start my morning by turning off everything but entertainment news. I move on to business news to take a Materialist's look at the world. I decide whether I want to progress to national and world news. I don't have to on days when I don't feel capable. I remain aware of what's happening, without seeing a horrible photo or reading 700 words of apologist bullshit. My life is better for it. My stress and energy levels are better for it. Give it a try. You don't have to let them drown you.
