Or Will Something Happen to Me: Ways to Cope with Pervasive Anxiety

The unfortunate disasters we have experienced recently have triggered the anxiety of many of us, and people have started to socially isolate with the constant fear of "something can happen to me".

So how can we face this fear of "something will happen to me" and How can we get rid of this without further injury?

First of all, I would like to talk about the concept of "Pervasive Anxiety". generalized anxiety; It is the person's being constantly worried for no apparent and known reason, waiting for bad events to happen to them, and worrying about seeing the worst sides of every event. This anxiety that people feel is quite different from the anxiety and fear that every person feels. The anxiety felt here is extreme and there is really no reason to be concerned. People with generalized anxiety often worry about health, family, and money.

So what can we do:

1. First of all, stop doing "fortune telling". Even if something is going to happen to you, you never know how or when it will happen.

Although thoughts of certainty occupy you, do not forget to consider that this is only a possibility and the possibility of "not happening".

2. Know that just "thinking" is not enough for a disaster to happen. Disaster will not happen to you just because you thought about it. Remember that thought and reality are very different from each other.

3. When disaster strikes you, don't plan what to do before it happens:

The philosophy of "I think if it happens" will be very useful for you. Our organism has already been designed by nature to adapt to situations and find solutions. Don't worry, you will say, "I don't understand how it suddenly came to my mind" in the moment of distress.

4. Of course, the most important thing is to be exposed. In whichever environment you are worried about standing or doing, gradually; It will be good for you to go on with the people you trust at first and then on the condition that you do it on your own. Over time, your brain will give you signals that there is no problem and that you are safe.
