News break

All I have seen/heard on the news recently were "Japan's economy steep decline", "Jobs being lost", "Japan's biggest recession since the oil crisis", "Even more jobs being lost" yaddi yadda... I am a news junkie and my daily routine involves me watching and reading the news of the world, but with all this negative news repeating every hour I have to admit that I am getting stressed out. I mean my job situation "seems" stable at the moment, but I still get second, third and fourth thoughts about any decision that involves money. It doesn't hurt to be careful, but I think I'm entering a state of paranoia wondering if I would regret the decision later especially if my financial status were to go south all of a sudden. Anyways, I've decided that I am going to avoid the news for a while because without the media reporting the same chaos over and over, life in the global recession really isn't that bad.
