I've watched very little news this week [View all]

It's been hard because I'm a news junky and a DU junky but I feel a little more functional even though I don't know anything about what is theoretically happening in the world .

Sometimes I feel like I'm a depression junky too because one thing leads to another and then I'm depressed about being so prone to addictions .
