Good resources What, Me Worry? Swine Flu
For folks with ocd

This afternoon I noticed that I'm getting upset, reading and talking a little too much about this swine flu. I have challenges with anxiety and I also have some experience with keeping myself relatively calm and stable.

So I'm going to use this as an opportunity to practice my skills. I'm going to keep most of my learning about this flu to sources like the Center for Disease Control and the World Health Organization, pay attention to the facts, then get on with my life. I'm going to regularly distract myself with other activity, get off the computer, do housework, get exercise, do some fun light reading etc.

I remind myself that triggering anxiety and wearing myself out doesn't help any.
