A shower is a good thing. It calms the nerves. Do something else to pamper yourself like getting something good to eat and after that take a nap. ;) You're ok. Just upset from something you read. They try to upset you, don't let them. :winky: :hug:

Get some chamomile tea.

Know we;re here for you and do care. Glad you post when you are dealing with these type of issues.

Dear BF, :hug::hug::hug:

They do this mostly for t.v. ratings.
Those folks making the t.v. shows earn a lot of my fury.


Can you watch something else? Listen to music?:)


I do understand because I can freak out too (but I only
freak out about this particular stuff a little while each day and then
go back to something else that I find calming.

The fear/panic seems to come, and go in waves. I got some sleep soon after I took a shower, and my cat woke me up at a little after 8:00 AM.

I thank you all for comforting me in this time a fear, and uncertainty. BF:hug::hug::hug::grouphug:

I know what you mean Mari. Allot of the TV shows reek of political agendas, and hype. This makes me angry to. They are trying to brain wash us over, and over until we accept it. I can't accept what is wrong.

This didn't happen when I was growing up, but tv seems to be corrupted. I feel the tainted side of the corruption on tv, and I get angry when I realize what they are doing.

I'm sorry to have gotten into politics. I will change the subject.

I love music, but when I feel fear, the music that I love can drive me up the wall.

I like TV, but when I feel afraid, tv can drive me up the wall.
I'm going to get out of the house today. I'm going to visit a friend who has the same hobbies in another city. BF:hug::hug::hug:

Taking showers is soothing for me when I am agitated and anxious, sometimes I will take 2-3 a day when things get bad. I hope your shower helped a bit :hug::hug::hug:

I'm concerned that you have been having suicidal thoughts...
Please keep posting, and reach out to your friends to talk about what a difficult time you are having :hug:
If you continue to have suicidal thoughts and they are compelling and/or persistent, please contact the person on-call from your pdoc's office or go to the ER :hug::hug::hug:

I'll be thinking of you today BF, and hoping you get some relief from your agitation and anxiety soon :hug::hug::hug:

BF,
You are so right...Journalist of the past reported the facts on either side equally and let the viewer decide. They never expressed their personal views. Journalist like Walter Cronkite, Harry Reasoner, Edward R. Murrow to name a few.

Journalism as we knew it is gone. Today's journalist lead to one side and do everything in their power to get you to think and see things their way. Oh how I miss the way journalism use to be reported. Just the facts and not their personal views....

BF;
Try to take a lot of the things reported with a "grain of salt"; and then put on something enjoyable; a movie. I know you like reading the psalms from the bible; or take a walk and get some fresh air.

BF,

I looked for a song or two that maybe you like:


Johnny Cash I Walk the Line - YouTube


The Dillards & Maggie Peterson - "There Is A Time" - 1963 - YouTube

The pain is starting to hurt me deeply again. BF:hug::hug::hug:
