I think with everything going on in the world right now, although it does bring negative feelings and distress, it can also be a kind of release to be able to see what's going on and be up to date on how it's unfolding and progressing. Personally, I don't enjoy watching the news as I always feel more depressed and overwhelmed afterwards, but I understand that it can also be a way to be aware of what's going on. How have you been feeling about it all, Ellie?
This article has some better examples than I am giving:

[btw I don't love the article's use of the word 'needy' and some of the tips may seem 'too far' to you, but I thought some were quite helpful]
In terms of mentioning people taking control, that must be so exhausting and disappointing to know that people around you aren't treating you as you deserve, would you like to tell me some more?
