Anxiety is a physical condition marked by intense and persistent feelings of distress, fear, angst or dread. General anxiety caused by routine day-to-day stresses usually passes quickly and is experienced by almost everyone at one time or another. However, such feelings that linger over time and are very difficult to cope with, and which lack a clear cause, may indicate...
I don't know how off-topic this is. It has my social anxiety roaring. Plying therapy tools. . .
The local Little League is challenging the masky daskery to attempt Spring baseball for children. My seven year old foster son wants to join. I want to encourage him but I am still triggering to flashback hell when confronted with surgical masks.

Keep up the great work on yourselves; I'm rooting for all of you!So, I started doing therapy at the beginning of the year, when I was in my most depressed state, but with my therapist, I made big changes and steps in the right direction.

The first step would be to talk to your therapist about methods of handling this as your therapist may know you best, if you have been with them for a while. I hope you have time before the little league starts.

Another is that many might not have surgical masks on but decorated fabric ones to protect themselves which could help ease your mind.
I hope this helps and I wish you all the best in finding a method that works for you, its a stressful situation but you're going to get through it and find a way.
Don't forget you're still here now :)
I was hoping to find someone who is involved in sports this season, whether as a player or a supporter. What little I understand about sports makes it tough to fathom adding masked social distances to the equation.
