“How to cope with constant anxiety about the future?”

When we live under constant stress and ongoing danger, feelings of anxiety are not a weakness but rather the mind’s protective response to what is happening around us, explains practicing psychologist Yana Kobets. Instead of trying to “switch off” this emotion, it is important to learn how to coexist with it.

First, the psychologist advises finding stability in what we can control. Of course, we cannot influence threats in the sky, but we can organize our own safety, support our loved ones, and give ourselves time to recover between moments of тревоги. And that already matters greatly.
