The war following the October 7, 2023, outbreak of the HAMAS has ended. The entire population of Gaza has been corralled into half of the strip and is passing the winter in tents. Iran has been bombed. In the last months here, it has been quiet, and the economy is prospering. To crown all, there was a worldwide wave of violent hate against Jews, including a mass murder in the Bondi Hanuka outing in Sidney. And I am feeling the after-effects of these two years of stress. During the actual war, I felt no fear or anxiety. I am feeling it now. The WHO recommends:
To help manage symptoms and promote overall well-being, a person can:
- continue normal daily routines
- connect with and talk to trusted people
- avoid alcohol and illicit drugs
- Exercise regularly, even if it’s just a short walk.
- maintain or develop healthy sleeping habits, and
- learn breathing techniques and progressive muscle relaxation.
