Stress and Anxiety Over War
How to cope with stress and anxiety from war news?
Anxiety Question:
How do you cope with stress and anxiety from war news?
It’s important to be informed, but it can get to the point that you're afraid of leaving your house
Anxiety Answer:
Well, I certainly don't live in a war zone, but there is enough coverage of the war to make anyone squirm.
How do I cope with the stress and anxiety?
I basically read the newspaper to avoid the talking heads on TV yelling at each other to advance their own political agenda. And, when reading the newspaper, I try to read only the news, and not the editorials and columnists.
This way, the news comes in a bit more focused and I can zoom in on reality rather than dwell on hysteria and fall into stresss and anxiety.
