Politics and news triggers my symptoms?

I feel that watching debates, political and otherwise triggers my symptoms. Does this happen for you too, or is it just me?

Me as well. I am taking a break from current events.

Yes, the news is triggering for me too.

I used to watch a lot of youtube prepper type news channels and I have recently unsubcribed to all of them.

The news isn’t triggering but it’s depressing.
I used to hold rosy view of humanity and its future.
That view has been completely eroded.
We don’t seem to be getting better.
Just for the record, better technology doesn’t equate better civilization.

The current news situation triggers me. I’ve stopped watching the national news, i just watch the local stuff. The current political environment is very depressing. I just turn the TV off now.

The news scares me, upsets me, downright infuriates me these days, but I’d be more freaked out if I didn’t know what was going on. I generally need to know all I can about my situation to feel at least a little more comfortable. I live in the USA, and a lot of us here are scared and furious right now.

Same here. It’s just stressful, and stress is a trigger for many or most of us, I think.
