Hey friends, remember: it's important to stay informed, but if staying informed is causing you to panic, please slow down. You can't know everything and you can't use what you DO know if you can't think clearly.
By the time you catch up on everything, things will have already changed. This is going to be a time where you'll have to embrace uncertainty, just so you can prioritize your information intake effectively enough to keep up in the first place. Take care of yourself along the way.
Know what you can, but each time you open a new tab, stop for a second and check in with your body. How tense are you? Are you breathing from your throat or your chest? Is your heart pounding like you need to take a swing at someone while you take a dump? Please leave your phone on your desk to charge, you are over-training your fight or flight response.
The horrors will still be there an hour from now. Go eat something you like and hug a friend. Maintaining your mental health is part of the fight.
