is there someone you can stay with?
can you just unhook the tv and totally not watch it? read books instead - fiction - no newspapers.
do you feel obsessed with the news and finding out more?
what has worked in the past to help you climb out of an obsessive spiral, or prevented you from falling deeper into one?
---------------------------
Mari makes good points here, about the so-called "news" - it is not "real information" ... it is manipulated and manipulative, they use any means to try to keep you glued. you can quit their game by shutting off the set:

Try to keep their nonsense into perspective.
Take care of yourself.

well said Mari, and hang in there Steve. Things will be alright. they will be alright. tell yourseelf that. shut yourself in a room without a tv and repeat it over and over. "I am going to be ok. God will look after me. God loves me." or whatever comes more naturally to you if that doesn't work. sometimes even just counting with my breath helps me relax a bit more.
