...See more This morning I heard about this country being one of the main targets for Russia. It scared me that much that I had to leave the room. Keeping informed about World events is important, but I can't face listening to news headlines or stories about potential war. Does anyone else feel the same?

...See more I get extremely anxious when global conflict possibilities are discussed. As I know the obvious ways to keep anxiety levels down by limiting news consumption, engaging in hobbies, etc, what are some other ways? It would be very much appreciated as it makes me so anxious.

Afraid When Topics Of Global Conflicts Come Up

...See more I get extremely anxious when anyone mentions about a global conflict on the television, radio, etc. The news goes quiet on the topic at times and then they start talking about it again. This makes me afraid to watch current affairs programmes in case they bring it up. My anxiety flares up again and I lose my enthusiasm and go quiet for a few days afterwards. To avoid feeling like this I leave the room when the topic is being discussed and if it is someone visiting me, etc, I politely change the subject. I know everyone is concerned about these things, but I feel that with me it is more than normal concern. It feels like a phobia.

...See more I like people and converse with them normally just chatting to one two people but my face flushes when I talk to a group. I always avoided it too at school. Singing solos made my anxiety go through the roof. It was always the last thing I would do and when teachers asked for volunteers, I used to keep in the background.

...See more Each time I drive anywhere unfamiliar it gives me anxiety as I always mess things up and other drivers toot their horns as I am thinking where I'm going. I dread making trips to anywhere unfamiliar as I find these problems happen and I hate upsetting other people. It ruins my day.

...See more I find that every time I drive anywhere unfamiliar, I always have other drivers tooting their horns at me as I am having to think where I am going. It makes me feel anxious as I hate upsetting other people. I only drive for convenience and not because I like it. I don't look forward to trips in different areas as I know I will mess it up and ruin the day. It's getting me down.

Threat Of Global Conflict Anxiety

...See more Since January of 2024 I have been extremely anxious of a global conflict happening. I have to leave the room each time they threaten it on the TV or radio and I try to avoid the subject in conversations with others as I get so anxious that it may happen. When the subject is raised my symptoms are as follows: A pit in my stomach that goes right through me. Sometimes flushing of my face and feeling hot. My general anxiety goes through the roof. I become quiet and subdued for a few days after. I try to limit my news consumption which can be hard as there is news everywhere these days.
