After BD I removed everything from my life (that I could) that triggered me or made me sad. Long story short I stopped listening to the news (it’s been a year). I figured if it was something I needed to know someone would tell me (I have been shamed for this).
D14 told me about COVID when we had a confirmed case (March 9th). I knew nothing and ignored it until my kids warned me about panic buying on March 12 so I got toilet paper (needed it). That store rationed from day 1. I’ve since gotten what I need. I’m fine. Problem is now I’m sucked back into the news and I’m upset.
