I am just not sure what to feel anymore,
With being on lockdown , postpone my surgery,
my daughter getting stressed out her middle son scared
to go back to school And to top it off I cannot
get involved. Tired hearing the news with
Everything whats going on People being
so destructive and angry . Would it be selfish of me to wish I could just get away on vacation.But
no where to go because its all over so sad.
I am getting depressed

Have had to switch of the TV for the past week and avoid all news outlets - very hard to do!
Anger is building!

IN MADNESS YOU DWELL

I am hardly watching the News now, forever talking about
 the Covid virus, economy and stupid riots and statue throwing.

They say they are getting picked on, well just look at Australia, we were the cast outs of Britain two hundred and fifty years ago, convicts sent to the colonies, and do we complain? No, we got the sun, sand and fourXXXX to keep us happy, did us all a favor, he he. 

Seriously. Life is hard no matter the colour of your skin, your race, your situation in life, you get knockdowns, just get up and get on with it. That's my motto.

I do agree totally agree with you, but
I do my best because to show to my family
this will pass and life goes on. But when
Your going through this hard time and
Your damn if you do or not and family
gets out of line You just want to disappear
And look at the sky while on a plane is
getting ready to land and you look to see
this new country your going to visit yet
I look with amazement and said I am home.
Am I truly home?

Very hard to switch away from what looks like a society on the brink of collapse. I hope this isn't the case. I have been keeping away from it for the most part, though occasionally I'll spot something and I'm dragged in. For example this week's removal of The Leagues from Netflix. There I was happily minding my own business when the thought police barged in and removed my favourite comedies from my streaming service, not to mention the BBC making a right balls of things.

I've already stopped the DD to the BBC. I'm not paying for it anymore. Don't want Netflix to be the next but I will if I have to.

Feel your pain re 'League' and now also The Mighty Boosh. Bit gutted I got rid of the DVD's a few years back.
Not had
a TV licence in 30 years - not into the BBC peddling bullshit and paying for it.

IN MADNESS YOU DWELL

Hi thank you all for responding, I will take
advices, I have a habit of feeling empathy
With what’s on the news with deaths due
To coronavirus and tears seeing that man
Saying I can’t breath dying in front of us
and the policemen not moving his knee away
I cried out loud ohhh no he killed him.
So much sadness and destruction.
Wish all this will stop.

I've just gone cold turkey... 11 days without switching the TV on, didn't miss it one bit!

Thank you Mark I have but friends and family
Oh look look on whats on the tv you have
To tune in on the tv news or CNN. I am just not
going to say a word to no one. Today appears to
look lovely weather will do some gardening. Later give myself a facial, seems wearing the masks on cause some skin breaks outs.
A lady must keep whats left in tip top
shape., you Brits say ! Tata thank you
