I just sent a second newsletter on the Jared Lee Loughner shootings in Arizona.\u00a0 I posted a blog on my BP Magazine blog.\u00a0 I’ve posted two blogs here. That is enough for myself and my health.<\/p>\n
I know when I have reached a saturation point and need to let go of things that are upsetting. There is nothing more the news can say to me. I think all of us with brain disorders know what will happen now. I will leave it to the courts and try not to be upset of how this will be handled. I wrote this before and would like to say it again:\u00a0<\/p>\n
I know the country is behind the victims of Jared’s terrible crime.\u00a0 I am too. I can’t imagine losing a loved one in that way. But my\u00a0fervent hope\u00a0is that Jared and his family be treated with compassion and understanding regarding his illness.\u00a0 Justice will be done for the crime victims- let’s hope that justice for a very mentally ill man can be done as well.<\/em><\/p>\n Those of us with bipolar disorder as well as those who care about people with bipolar disorder have to be so careful of what we let in our lives. Sometimes life comes to us and we can’t ignore it, such as these shootings.\u00a0<\/p>\n I really mean it when I say: If you find all of the coverage upsetting, it really is ok to stop reading the news- including my posts! I stopped reading on the web after I had enough information to know what was going on. I never watch the news or listen to the news on the radio. It’s how I protect myself when I’m down. Take care of yourself if you need to. Sometimes just a little information is all we need. Hearing it repeated over and over by the ‘experts’ is simply not good if it makes us ill.<\/p>\n Julie<\/p>\n If you are up for reading another blog, here is my BP Magazine link. So many family members read this blog for help- your comments would be greatly appreciated.<\/p>\n http:\/\/www.bphope.com\/bphopeblog\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I just sent a second newsletter on the Jared Lee Loughner shootings in Arizona.
