So now, rather than staying up to date with current events, my patients are withdrawing as much as possible from the news. Withdrawing from political information or solicitations is an active stance as contrasted with the more common idea of disengagement or apathy, which is a passive stance. Their sense of purpose comes from maintaining an active stance of withdrawal as a silent protest against a system that feels broken and unfair. Having a sense of agency is better for mental health than acquiescence, but it can be tricky to find the line between being informed versus overwhelmed. However, developing a sense of purpose is a more effective antidote to despair than active withdrawal.

Opinion: The lost art of waiting in line
  + stars: | 2023-11-12 | by ( Opinion Maggie Mulqueen | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +5 min
Lining up to board a plane has become a stark indicator of how our society has commodified the very act of waiting. You can even avoid the line to see Santa by purchasing a photo package in advance. In psychological terms, waiting is often framed as a component of delayed gratification and is contrasted against instant gratification. When did the act of waiting get such a bad rap?”The very act of waiting can enhance our appreciation of something. Perhaps the person waiting in line to see their favorite singer perform in concert relishes the night more because of the time invested in getting into the venue.

It is the rare night I fall asleep before turning a few pages of a book. So, I was quite surprised to find myself immersed in Louise Penny’s Inspector Gamache novels, all 18 of them. Knowing that I would not run out of books, no matter how many sleepless nights I might be facing, calmed me. Returning to my Louise Penny mystery that night, I realized that perhaps it was the memory of those lonely nights from my childhood that kept me from reading mystery books. The women physicians who took care of me are a stunning reminder of how the world has changed since my childhood.
