Heartbeat Skipping and Disinterest

Post Reply New Topic

I'm very, very afraid to read or watch the news since I'm incredibly touchy about politics, and hate how sometimes politics is injected into non-political stories. I'm afraid to even look at newspapers since their headlines can scream at me, and whenever I hear or read something political, my heart skips a beat, and I find myself paralyzed, losing interest in my standard hobbies, and I'm actually afraid I might get a heart attack from indulging in taboo topics. Does anyone else have similar issues?

Politics can be overbearing and discussions involving pol!itics go round in circles. Personally I find watching a good film like Hook which I caught on TV the other day helps to clear my mind and forget those kind of angry or anxiety inducimg political debates going on.

I tend to take news/political news in stride, but I do have to admit I could see how it could make somebody anxious. The political climate is not exactly healthy around the world right now. Maybe you could find a special interest to help you reduce your anxiety.
