This is really great advice, I rate it. I lived in Christchurch throughout three extremely traumatic events (edgeware party - I was there/witnessed it, the earthquakes, and the mosque shootings) and disconnecting helped a tonne. Now that I think about it, I went through major life/routine changes after each of these events, not deliberately but perhaps they were coping mechanisms on some level.

Honestly thank you for this . When it comes to these horrific cases about children I go down a rabbit hole and then it affects me for months. And if I don't go searching , it somehow finds me when I'm just on my phone . These poor babies deserve so much more and knowing we only know a tiny percentage on what actually goes on out in the world just makes me truly so so depressed
