Even if we are not directly involved, watching traumatic world events unfold can affect our mental health. Anxiety is a reasonable response during such times.
It's useful to see how things land. If feelings of gloom persist, limiting news consumption and connecting with others can help cope with anxiety.
Accepting that events may be out of your control is important. Time can help settle perspectives after the initial shock of distress.
Volunteering and activism can provide a sense of agency and esteem, serving as practical ways to address feelings of helplessness and despair.
