I’m glad I’ve dealt with anxiety for most of my life before all this happened. It’s interesting to see the general population deal with high anxiety for the first time.

Recognize that life is inherently risky and you have little control over it outside of your reactions. The hardest test is dealing with somatic symptoms and navigating the catastrophic thinking. It’s the ultimate challenge to talk yourself down when you’re convinced you’re having a heart attack or unable to breath. Covid is a risk but for most people not a significant threat.
