Living in a world where all you see confronting you daily are challenges that are refusing to get better, is a big threat to mental health. It will be very easy for one in that condition to be in fear and worry than maintain a good state mind. it is difficult for a wound to get healed when it is being disturbed. Imagine seeing your fears getting worse everyday...
I think, you are doing yourself good by staying away from bad news as you called it, else.. you would only be adding salt to your wounds...
Focusing on what you can do to make life better is also another wise idea, instead of remaining in our problems by worrying all the time, we should find means to walk out of them.
You've really spoken well my dear friend. Living in Nigeria is a nightmare, seeing policymakers come up every day with anti-people policies, and measures. It pains!
Seeing obvious things and truths covered by lies and deceits. We'll basically live in despair every passing day if we don't have a quick grasp of our mental health before it goes south.
Thanks @Emreal for being real! 😂
My sincere prayer daily is for this things not to pass down to our innocent children..
