Worry, Anxiety, And How We Cope


The epidemic of worry who would have ever thought that an article like this would be written to give us a different look about this year election, I believe David Brooks when he states that this campaign isn’t just about policy proposals because to me I think this presidential race is about targeting two candidates, because I believe the media is blowing the race all off subject and the reason why these two people are running to be the next president of the United States of America, David Brooks writes in his article “ some mental health therapists are reporting that three-quarters of their patients are mentioning significant election-related anxiety”, and I can relate because anxiety means feeling worry, nervousness, and a uncertain outcome of this election because I vote Democrat so I’m really worried if Hillary Clinton will win, because they are always talking about emails, and I stay glued to the TV every morning are night to see what’s being said about this election, In the eight paragraph he give me a clear understanding of concrete images and the abstract nature of worry and anxiety, when he write about the educated class and then he states that anxiety can be a feeling of overabundant of options without a core of convicting purpose, and that it’s worth nothing that rich countries are more anxious than poorer ones.

   The concrete images to me that’s in David Brooks article is According to the world health organization, 18.2 percent of Americans report chronic anxiety while 3.3 percent of Nigerians do, the two flavors of worry or spiraling worry and to worry and I believe worrying can help America are take down America but I just can’t see it happen but who know right, and worrying affects every family, from worrying about our kids and being honest and loyal to our friends in a friendship, and the difference between anxiety in poor nations like Hattie and other places in the middle east is that there are no jobs and there is not much money, because there are poor people in the United States that are struggling with anxiety right now today, affluent nations or like “ having an abundant of wealth, property, or other material goods or prosperous and rich”, but I’m not rich so I can’t relate, but the poor, I can relate, I struggle at times and I worry about were the next dollar will come from.
