How to deal with anxiety

[Kkakdugi]

Hi there, due to the pandemic , there has been an increase in hate crimes against Asians. I personally hasn’t experience any yet but have been seeing them online. It makes me scared for my friends and family . Also myself as well. I also have a 7 month old at home too. I tried to focus on the positive, like seeing people and communities getting together and helping each other during tough times like this. But I seem to let the bad news get to me more. I even tried to not to read the news but can’t help it sometimes. What should I do?

Thanks!

I am an Indian male and I know what your going through. After 9/11 my family was harrassed and mistreated just for being the wrong race. However, we live in a different and more open time now. I believe that if you just wait until this situation blows over, then everything will be much better, but until then do not act rash, let the police know if someone is bothering you, and have some patiences and strong resolve.
