Dear Lady Jane,
I can’t stop checking the news. Between the climate reports, the economy, and politics, I feel paralyzed. My friends tell me to ‘just log off,’ but that feels irresponsible. I feel guilty for planning for my future (like saving money or thinking about grad school) when it feels like the world is falling apart. How do I find a balance between being informed and being functionally depressed by things I can’t control?
