Thanks for your support mate. Believe it or not but I actually find that kind of music be therapeutic. It reminds me that I'm not alone in dealing with this stuff. I don't listen to just that though. There are a few more poppy numbers in my playlist as well :)

I'm off the news and off social media for the reasons you allude to. I try with meditation. Even took myself off to a retreat last year for a week to try and be disciplined about it. I find it both beneficial and difficult at the same time.
