Tired of warnings about the obvious

Anyone else notice the zillion news items directed at our folks (depression and anxiety) that have headlines like "Insomnia Devastating to Physical and Mental Health" and "How Stress and Depression Ravage Your Body". Really helpful. Gee, I thought insomnia and stress contributed to maximum health and well being! We are already worried enough about these things, and these articles only make it all worse....in other words, they CONTRIBUTE to more insomnia and stress. It's just a real pet peeve of mind. Can anyone relate?

I hate those articles/sites/web pages/ads.

Stay away from Internet articles: they're very little help and are usually just trying to make the owner some cash.

Good advice, Pugglesworth. I almost always feel worse after reading those articles.

Well I'm getting tired of the "We're all in this together" tagline for the coronavirus!!! So could we all get OUT of this together??? I wish some more social groups would open up and we will just all wear masks! I really need to find a part time job, I feel so desperate, and I'm tired of feeling like people are all afraid of each other.
