Is it OK to avoid everyday situations that make us anxious? Or should we always find a way to cope?
For people with mental health problems, this question is particularly relevant. It may be that fears around a particular situation are linked to trauma, generalised anxiety or compulsive behaviours. No matter how much we rationalise that such fears are unfounded, we find it near impossible to allay them.
Are there day-to-day situations that cause enough mental distress that they should simply be avoided - full stop? Or is developing coping strategies to face our fears always the way to go?
