The other day I read a news paper, for the first time in several weeks. After reading it I observed feelings of depression started to arise ????? So as iv,e not been depressed in quite a while, or have no reason to be depressed. I realised that all the bad news, and fear from this news paper had caused my subconscious mind to feel depressed. So beware of the media, news, and tv. Keep your mind clear and only put into it positive and good information if you want to control your feelings.

Negativity
Agreed. All media can be triggers for depression and anxiety. Only last week someone here posted that this sight was a huge source, and abruptly left the sight. Always an option of course, but I like your final statement....."only put into it (your mind) positive and good information" in effort to control (powerful word as we often feel we have none)) emotions.
We are our own editors!
I don’t watch or read any news. Sometimes ignorance is bliss.

99 % of it we dont need to know, if we need to know, someone will tell us. The media and most TV is just a fear machine. designed for control of people who dont know their own minds ie sheep ?
I understand here many members are from the USA, and what the news must be like on that neck of the woods must be quite concerning.
In the European Union and UK it seems to be going the same way. I never really read a newspaper now I find they are following differing party lines so we are not getting the full honest story. No wonder people can become depressed and anxious.
