I felt a little bit better when I got up today but then I turned the radio on. The programme was all about war and violence, immediately plunging me into despair. Why oh why do so many BBC programmes concentrate on such negative, soul destroying topics.
It’s really hard, @Bonnie3; you’re not alone in feeling this way.
If it would be helpful, here’s a website devoted entirely to Good News stories that you can read when despair feels overwhelming:
There is still lots of good happening in the world, even if it doesn’t feel like it

I feel like that too since my partner died suddenly in September last year. Previously it wouldn’t have bothered me but my brain just can’t cope with any more doom and gloom. I avoid the news, violent TV programmes etc. I’ve more or less shut out the world and I don’t miss it. I’ve no attention span just now, difficulty in concentration too. I guess it’s all part of grieving, I’m just about coping still taking it a day at a time. I don’t see that changing anytime soon.
