SAN ANTONIO – Specializing in treating post-traumatic stress disorder, Dr. Harry Croft is aware of what stress and anxiety can do to the mind and body.

He said the uncertainty over the pandemic, world events, domestic issues like the economy, even the upcoming presidential election, has created a “pandemic of anxiety.”

Croft said much of stress that people are under since the pandemic began, is because they worry about “What if that happened or what if that happened, and then we begin to respond to it as if it’s already happened.”

Over time, Croft said, this can be unhealthy and make people feel even less in control.

“The what if’s about the future make us feel worse and make us less able to cope,” he said.

He said too often, people worry about what they can’t control, like who will win the presidential election.

“If you’re worried about the results of the election, worrying about the what if’s and driving yourself nuts over it isn’t going to help very much,” Croft said.

Instead, he said, they should get involved somehow to make a difference, even if their candidate loses, like volunteering to support a cause they believe in.

Croft said it’s best to focus on “the here and now.”

“We call that ‘mindfulness,’ being aware of what’s really going on in our lives right now,” Croft said.

Taking care of yourself is a start, he said.

But he strongly advises against using drugs or alcohol to relieve anxiety.

Croft said once the effects wear off, “They’re even worse than they were before they started.”
