-MDH Behavioral Health Administration has advice for anxiety when wearing a cloth face covering:

• Wearing a cloth face-covering in public can reduce anxiety because it lowers your risk for infection, but for some, it significantly increases their anxiety from claustrophobic feelings or associating it with the situations where it should be worn because they are where the risk of infection increases. Try wearing the face-covering at home for an hour while doing something you find relaxing to become comfortable with it and focus on how it will reduce the risk of infection when you wear it. If your anxiety persists consider getting help. Call 211 and press 1, text 898-211, visit pressone.211md.org, or chat confidentially for information about local services and programs.
