Did you know that in complicated circumstances it is common to present collective or individual anxiety disorders?
In chaotic social situations and catastrophic events that involve drastic changes in people's routines, anxiety disorders are very likely to develop.
It is common to experience feelings of fear, uncertainty or loneliness that gradually depress us and fill us with negative thoughts, manifesting a lot of anxiety and nervousness.
Identifying the symptoms, understanding the disorder and knowing the appropriate recommendations to help our friends or family is the best way to deal with anxiety.
Here are some recommendations to follow to work on anxiety in yourself and others:
How to work on collective anxiety?
1. Learn to identify the emotion that causes you Anxiety
It is essential that you identify what you are feeling, whatever the emotion or feeling is, it is very important to identify it, express it and talk about it.
This will not only help us to reveal what we feel, but it will also allow us to rationalize it and apply coping techniques to manage it and, as a result, lower anxiety levels.
2. Turn off the notification
If anxiety attacks continue, it is essential to recognize that the phone is one of the biggest triggers.
We invite you to turn off notifications and stop watching every news item about the social situation or event that caused your anxiety.
All the negative information you receive affects your emotions and makes you vulnerable to relentless anxiety.

Being active and planning a routine is essential for mental strengthening in the face of circumstances that may cause anxiety.
When you wake up, set a goal such as: reading, exercising, taking a course, writing, meditating, any alternative that helps distract you from the situation.
Make it a habit, a custom that strengthens you as a person and you will see how anxiety gradually decreases.
4. Observe the positive
First of all, this will allow you to overcome negative emotions, focus your energy and your words on what is good in you and on strengthening your thoughts, removing anxiety from your life.
Secondly, everything you can be grateful for or appreciate will help you improve your outlook on the situation and the feeling of hope will become present, thus reducing anxiety.
Therefore, it can be said that thinking about positive things will undoubtedly alleviate any feelings of anxiety or depression that you may be experiencing.
5. Live one day at a time
The future is an event that can seem chaotic and uncertain, becoming the biggest trigger for anxiety if you constantly think about what can happen in a week, a month or a year.
Don't forget that we can only change the present!
If your practices and habits in difficult situations are useful and productive, you will not only be able to cope with quarantine, you will have flourished after it, managing to eliminate depression and anxiety.
Constantly thinking about the past or the future is one of the main factors that generate anxiety in people.
Dwelling on past things that we cannot change or worrying about situations that have not happened makes us lose the value of the present and fills us with anxiety.
