It is just too depressing for me. I wouldn't say it makes me more paranoid, I just hate all of the negativity. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-watching-the-news-make-you-paranoid-have-you-been-more-paranoid-as-a-mom#post-39076 Wed, 21 Dec 2011 12:07:51 +0000 BabyLove 39076@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I refuse to watch the news. Refuse it. I have also stopped watching Dateline specials and the like. In fact, even Law &amp; Order SVU was a show we watch often and now I can't. I am probably an extreme case but I have a whole new perspective on all of those sensational shows. They scare the crap out of me and I want to just hide my LO in a bubble. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-watching-the-news-make-you-paranoid-have-you-been-more-paranoid-as-a-mom#post-39011 Wed, 21 Dec 2011 11:06:23 +0000 DpeachLu 39011@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The news doesnt only make me paranoid. My job does. I work at a criminal defense law firm... so a huge part of my job is reading police reports for molestations, rapes, abuse... and the list goes on. </p> <p>I need a new job! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-watching-the-news-make-you-paranoid-have-you-been-more-paranoid-as-a-mom#post-39006 Wed, 21 Dec 2011 11:01:14 +0000 polkadots 39006@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@NYCaliMama: It is so different when you have a family!</p> <p>@artbee: I think I'll stop... even though I did just learn I live in the 5th safest city in America....

But I don't watch the news much. So maybe I'm in denial. or try and avoid it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-watching-the-news-make-you-paranoid-have-you-been-more-paranoid-as-a-mom#post-38944 Wed, 21 Dec 2011 09:51:04 +0000 polkadots 38944@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ok so lately I've been watching the news more... mostly to make sure the weather will be good for traveling over the holidays. Its been making me CRAZY! When I hear about missing babies, home invasions or deadly car wrecks I get very paranoid. Last week when I heard about someone in an elevator accident I decided not to go to the mall since I'd have to use the elevator with a stroller... Last night I got up probably 10 times to check the doors and I thought I kept hearing noises! What the heck is wrong with me, I was never like this until LO came along?! Did any other new moms deal with things like this?</p> <p>Ive got to stop watching the news! </p>
