It was the reason I took up birding and stopped eating processed meat.

I'm concerned because I've seen a couple of long-time DUers say they're leaving for a bit, due to the stress.
It is possible to learn to live mindfully, although these times are quite trying.

I sometimes go on news media diets where I limit my exposure to news. I see it as taking care of myself.

And you are very right. I just hate to see people step away from what might be one of their only social supports here at DU due to the stress.
