Riots

This is one of the things which can trigger my anxiety. Thinking of anxiety more generally, rather than about this specific issue, I have to try to find a place in my mind where reason can prevail. That can be bad enough, as it can sometimes lead to a clearer picture of any threat, but it allows me to move forward, perhaps with a plan of action. Also, getting my thoughts out into the open with clear thinking people can be positive. Also, I can be inclined to obsess over things which trouble me. Can't help thinking about them, but important to find a safe place in my mind with better and calmer thoughts. This can be doing my favourite things - contemplating nature, photography, petting a dog - anything to restore a feeling of some wellbeing just for a while. The anxiety isn't entirely gone, but it's on the periphery of my thoughts for a while, rather than being centre stage. Hope you can find your way of dealing with it.
