In reply to the discussion: I am just tired to the bone.. tired of it all.. [View all]FakeNoose
(32,634 posts)57. I think a lot of us are dangerously close to burning out
I've reached the point where I can't even have my TV on during the day. I still hear the news shows at night, but I need to limit the time on those too. I try to watch movies, go for walks, play with my dog, read books. I'm more escapist now than ever in my life. I don't want to be this way forever, but I need to preserve my sanity.
Hugs to you, Peacetrain! Try not to think too much.

I don't identify as "christian" so not sensitive to this, but think the attacks are on Evangelicals.
