I'm really dreading this election year...
Mom keeps saying she is going to stop watching the news, because it causes her to worry so much, but the next thing I hear is the news. She has it on most of the day. She fights depression and it only makes her more depressed and have a bad attitude towards everything. If I go in sit in the same room with her she will let me change the channel, but she continues to talk about how bad everything is. Even though I live here and am her full-time care giver I can't sit and watch TV all day. Does anyone else have this issue?
I've got a horrible feeling that Donald Trump could actually win. Since I can't vote I'm begging all you Americans please don't let that happen. You think its depressing now, can you imagine how depressing the news would be if he won.
I bought him some adult coloring books, since he used to be very good at painting and drawing when he was younger. I hope it works.
Does she like animals? Switch to Animal Planet, especially the shows with cute little puppies and kittens.
Does she like cooking? Try a cooking channel, especially if you can find one with an attractive male that might pique her interest to watch the show again.
Drama? Mystery? Try PBS Masterpiece Theatre when it runs Miss Marple
I change the channel, but somehow she gets it back to CNN.
She needs to have something to fret about.
