I click on my news app.....and within minutes my whole mood changes.....I get angry and frustrated with people’s opinions, agendas. Click over to Facebook and it’s more of the same. And within minutes here I am, with anxiety, frustration, anger, concern, STRESS! ......WHAT THE HECK!


I just retired last month. I have a wonderful family, friends, grandkids, homes, ZERO reason to feel stress or anxiety! And within 10 minutes on my iPad I feel stress, anxiety, and my mood has changed to down.


A quick google search on this and wow, millions of articles on how watching the news can create anxiety and stress. Disrupt your mood, and sleep patterns!

I feel I should stay informed, but honestly it is definitely putting a dark mood on me. So, I am going to go for a week or 2 without the freaking news or Facebook and get my life and happy upbeat personality back.

Anyone else feel this way? Need to pull the plug on the news?
