I guess I'm having a real "pity party" today. I just feel awful. I barely get anything done, and don't much care. Hopefully tomorrow will be better. My son lives outside of D.C. in Arlington, VA and I'm watching the riots in D.C. They've defaced the Lincoln Memorial and there's a whole lot of them, from what I understand a group from somewhere else that causes trouble. I've called my son and told him if he felt unsafe to come over here (very western part of VA) and stay at his Dad's, who had a large house. But, he says he's fine and he probably is ..... just a mother's worry. I think it's best if I go to bed and read for awhile til I go to sleep.

@amberpep It's easy to get caught up in things that are happening, and glue ourselves to news sources. But often, it is in our better mental health, to severely limit our exposure. I have found myself not turning on the news more and more in the last couple of months. While I might very well miss seeing a human interest story, it also means I am not bombarded with so much negativity. That helps my frame of mind.

Believe your son when he tells you he is fine. Tune in to some comedy shows or movies. Do some drawing, or activity to help your mind.
