Germans And The Next Worry

 I sat and read through a WELT report today....Germans have a upsurge on 'panic-attacks' presently.  

In general, various numbers exist on society (not just Germans) to say 5-percent have fairly regular panic attacks, and that one out of three people will have at least one panic attack in their life.  

Describing a panic attack?  Well...it's fairly sudden for most folks....there's a serious amount of intense anxiety.....some people have the shakes....some feel disorientated...some get nauseated....some get rapid heartbeats....some get all sweaty, and some have dizzy spells.

What WELT points out....ever since Covid came along...more and more Germans have panic-attacks.  This is particularly noticed with young people.

A big deal?  I worked with a person who'd have one of these about every month.  I'd notice her gazing off....some shakes going on, and in a short period of time....getting nauseated.  After a few occasions, I'd suggest she go to a coffee room and sip some liquids.  Twenty minutes later, she'd have chilled out and recovered.

The big problem here....you really don't need one-third of society have an attack or two each week.  So I just kinda wonder how Covid stirred people up to feel this way, and if we've opened up some Pandora's Box.

The idea we might be consuming more caffeine, or drinking more booze?  Some suggest that.  Some folks even suggest that people can't chill out or relax to the extent that we did before Covid.  Some people go and suggest we huff up more cannabis than we did before Covid, and the drug affect is having some panic occur within our little world..
