As someone with very severe anxiety, I will say that actively avoiding things to avoid being triggered/anxious will only make your anxiety worse. This also goes hand-in-hand with OCD (which I also have).
I’m not saying you should put yourself in danger, or purposely make yourself sick (if you have health anxiety/contamination OCD), I’m saying that maybe you should talk to a colleague or maybe your neighbor. It doesn’t have to be personal or even political at first, just a small conversation.
If you’re frightened of potentially getting sick from food poisoning, what’s worked for me is getting a food probe when you’re cooking. It may not be the best way to handle it, but if it’s at a certain temp, I know it’s safe. Learning food safety has helped a lot in making me feel secure about that. I’m still working on how to feel safe when eating at restaurants though. So far, as long as the reviews have little to no reports of illness, I feel like it should be safe.
I think it’s more important now than ever to start learning how to regulate and manage your emotions, especially if you are organising protests and other events. They want us scared and scattered, so it’s important to also take care of yourself so you can fight for your rights.
When we are frightened, the part of our brain responsible for planning and reasoning shuts down to make way for fight or flight. I honestly think this isn’t stressed enough and we need to start having more conversations about this so we can find ways to keep fighting for a brighter future without burning out.
Remember that it isn’t selfish to take time to rest. A good recharge means you’ll have a clearer head and more energy to organise.
My healing journey is going to be long, but I think I've got the main attributes sorted. Solid routine, good sleep hygiene, better diet and better ways to spend my time than wallowing around. Obviously, it hasn't been easy. The first time I started my routine, it was like pulling teeth. Hell, even posting this is like pulling teeth now (mainly because of my fear of being seen).
I've been through a lot, but I also want to have a safe space to express how I've been holding up because I don't really have a safe space yet. In fact, I've been losing a lot of friends because of this horrible phobia; I try not to beat myself up about it as I'm working on it, but it's so hard.
Despite this, I've noticed a good few changes since I've started. I've been able to deal with stress slightly better, instead of just clocking out entirely. I've felt less sick and tired, I've noticed that I've been able to have a mature conversation when trying to resolve conflict and I've noticed so much more but that's all I can think of at the top of my head at the moment since I am a little tired.
Might go into detail about my routine later, right now I'm going to bed.
Goodnight <3
