I have panic attacks when I think about the state of our world. I block out most posts that trigger me. If I didn’t, I’d be a nervous wreck sitting in misery if I didn’t. That doesn’t mean I don’t know what’s happening, I’m very aware and I keep up, but I’m also not going to have a constant feed of anxiety forced in my face.
We used to be informed if we read a daily newspaper. Don’t confuse “refusing to have constant anxiety” with privilege.
