Oh, Dear.

I understand. Until the news moves onto something else, watch less of it or stop it for a while.

I am listening to music, reading, and going on the computer to safe web sites.

I just joined netflix for 8 dollars a month. I am really tired of trump evading my space and the gun lobby is just too powerful.

The TV news has never been this unhealthy before. I've never been more shaken up by their hype, speculation, and their repetitiveness. It's never been so political.

There are a broad scale of bad issues that they are talking about all of the time now. I believe that groups of people are paying them to slant the prospective of the news. I don't think that this happened when I was growing up. There are no Paul Harvey's with the rest of the story anymore. He use to bring good out of the news. At the end of his show, he would say," Paul Harvey, Good day!".

I try to only get a little bit of news, then I change the channel. Sometimes I hear more then I wanted to hear.

As far a violence, I believe that CNN, and Fox have stirred up some people who are ticking time bombs to the point where they have committed copy cat crimes.

I think that this is awful that it happens. I don't know why some people become that way. I guess that they are sociopaths. This confuses people about mental health problems. They should never label us in the same category as sociopaths. I care about people. I care about their welfare. I wish for them to be happy. That side of me is normal like regular people who love their families, and neighbors.

I wonder how many suicides the cascading bad, and unhealthy news have caused. Awful. BF:hug::hug::hug:

When these horrible things happen people want to know why and they can't accept that some people are just evil, or like you said BF, people don't know the difference between sociopaths and people with mental illness...

So what if he was on Valium!!! What difference does that make?

People with mental health problems are more likely to become victims of violent crime than perpetrators, but nobody talks about that when these things happen...

I just read that about the valium. They were trying to say that the side affects could have caused him to kill those people. I believe most people could see through that. Most people know someone who takes, or has taken valium.

The News people are going to say anything that they can think up. He didn't become a homicidal maniac from taking valium. My gosh!!! It was a evil heart. Then the actions of a evil homicidal heart. How he got that way is a mystery. Hatred must have festered in his heart. BF:hug::hug::hug:

I did not know about the Valium until I saw it here.
(Sometimes, I ask my sis about the news to save myself having to listen long enough to figure it out.)

Please try to do something different. Music. Old t.v. Movies. Radio. Subscribe to channels on Youtube.

For a while I listened to Pandora all day.
There are other free apps that play music like Pandora does. Create a free account with your email or use your facebook
"I heart Radio." I do not listen to it but I believe it works like my Pandora does: iHeartRadio: Listen to Free Radio Stations & Music Online | iHeartRadio

Or else, listen to old fashioned AM or FM -- on a radio or online.

Months ago I went to twitter to pass time and get into a pattern that sort
of made me comfortable.

It relaxed me somehow, but it has started getting on my nerves so
I am going to limit it / skip days/cut it out/

I used to be on Twitter a lot, but it got on my nerves, too.
