Reduce News for a while! Take care of your mental state!

I live in Canada. I smoke weed

Every time I reduce news and take a break with my head in the sand I come back to insane headlines or more cases in my hometown. My OCD doesn't know what to do in this situation.

Indeed mate, they all want a bit of company as bizaar as it sounds lol. The second i start watering the crows turn up kawing etc, the pidgeons gather and the little ones (sparrows?) gather and start fighting excitedly over the best position for when i go inside! They all watch us and interact with us even if we don't notice it. I wake up every morning, make a coffee n toast, go up to the roof and wait for the Sun to light up the Eastern side of the Himalayas and stand there in awe and at what we have... the crows not so much lol, they don't even know about that, but they do know my scraps of Marmalade on toast is mightey tasty and so are also in awe in some way, we are all synced somewhat

This is excellent advice. Your physical health will be adversely affected by non stop stress.

Go for walks or other physical activity, listen to music, do something which takes concentration, such as building a model, super cleaning of the house, even go for a drive.

Think about and plan things you will do when this has passed like planning a trip or vacation, plan on what restaurants you will go to, maybe a sporting event, etc. Try to not live in the moment.

In other words, put order in your life. And, some praying is good too.

Lastly, think of your fellow man and woman. Many elderly are self isolating (me included), check in on them by phone make sure they are okay.

This social isolation of seniors will just see them watching more hours of the lying news. Increasing their stress, worry and fear of death. Unbeknownst to them, stress causes flu and cold symptoms. They then conclude they have the 'virus'. They then die because that same diabolical news told them many seniors would die

We are all witnesses to how sorcery works.
Realise it.
And reject it and expose it

I watched a TV show the other night, Expedition Unknown. They ventured into remote areas of Nepal and the photography was absolutely stunning, including the sunrises. I fell asleep the last two nights with those visions. You are a very lucky person.

Exactly OP!

This site will stress the shit of everyone. GLP is worse than the MSM with fear mongering.

No, it's shutting down the world and in conjunction with this virus.

The greatest "Doom Break" any of us can take is to turn away from evil, including the evil within ourselves and focus our attention on our creator. If you have not accepted the Lord Jesus Christ as your personal savior, do so NOW. Talk to Him privately and ask for help, and to save you (to go to Heaven) and comfort you. He will NEVER ignore such a genuine heart-felt request. NEVER. "The LORD your God is among you; He is mighty to save. He will rejoice over you with gladness; He will quiet you with His love; He will rejoice over you with singing.” Tomorrow may be too late. An hour from now may be too late. Move, go, get to the choppa! Run to Jesus!

Agreed. I was just talking about this to the wife.

good advice, OP! thanks for this post. five stars!! we will make it!! with help of G-d!!

I’m literally thinking about killing myself. Every time I look at glp I feel hopeless.

Don't do that. Just take a break from doom and make something. If I get too overwhelmed with life I "check out". I do a craft, stress clean, then rearrange furniture, organize a closet etc. When all this started i said f it and refloored my 1300sqft basement. The next time i get the shivers I will rip up the carpet on the stairs and refinish those.

Don't kill yourself or hurt others. Your next life will be even more fucked up.

Sometimes if all of this gets to be too much I call my Dad. He will get me laughing and trade conspiracies with me. Usually dumb ones but they make me feel better.

My husband who is super straight laced and doesn't even drink told me I needed some cheech in my life and should smoke a bowl. My kids psychiatrist told me to drink wine and consider a prescription for a benzodiazepine. I laughed so hard that day. She also suggested I smoke pot.

I'm loving the destruction of Babylon.
Hear hear some nice elevator music for you.

You're dolla dolla drop down way low you ain't got no gold to show

My mental state is fine, in fact when I'm not annoyed by the idiocy I see I'm mildly amused by the fact that all this chaos is being caused not by the virus but by the radical reactions people have to it.

Humans, genitically insane.

So true... I keep meaning to try this:

Excellent post OP - thank you!

I told my wife this very thing this morning. She has been in a state of denial, and is now starting to panic a bit. I told her to avoid the news for a while.

We all need to combat the fear with hope and faith, and work on maintaining some kind of serenity because - as you said - it directly effects our physical health.

Stress is known to increase cortisol, which has detrimental physical effects.

Stay safe everyone, and take a mental break to reconnect with nature, your loved ones, yourself.

Yes, if you can't take the heat, stay out of the kitchen.

Yes. Turn the computer off and listen to classical music. Bach

Bear in mind this: the traditional "Five Stages Of Grief" apply to ANY crisis and not just the loss of a loved one.

People need TIME to emotionally process the sudden lifestyle changes and that's what we are all experiencing today.

And, that need knows no sex, age, income/social status, or ethnic/racial boundaries. Even small children are susceptible as they witness changes in the adults in their lives.

So, keep these five conditions in mind the next time a friend or relative says/does something a little stupid as we progress through the next several weeks:

1. DENIAL
2. ANGER
3. BARGAINING
4. DEPRESSION
5. ACCEPTANCE

Yeah...sure.

We should re pin this daily.

Thanks buddy, you gave me the ol-tinglies!

I see no reason to lose my humor, or get out of character.

Thank you OutofSpace! Good Advice and something to remember!
Have yourself a lovely day.
