I'm anxious when I read the news. But when I don't read the news, I'm anxious of not knowing. How can I resolve this dilemma?

It’s a vicious cycle. I’m anxious to know what’s happening. I read the news, get anxious, and stop reading. Then I get anxious that I don’t know what’s happening.

It’s the same with people around me. I’m frustrated when I don’t hear anyone talking about the news. But when someone mentions the news, I want them to stop talking because I get overwhelmed.

It has got to the point when I’m scared of even going on the Internet. I’m so scared that I would accidentally see a triggering word that would throw me in a fit of anxiety.

What is wrong with me?
