A few weeks ago, as I was wrapping up my work for the day, I got a distressed call from my best friend. "Have you stocked up yet?" she asked. "Trump just announced a national emergency. All the stores are going to close!" I told her I had been slowly adding to my pantry, but she pleaded that it wasn't enough. She was adamant that I had to stock up on groceries NOW. I knew she wasn't acting rationally, and I told her so. I maintained my composure on our call, but by the time I got off, I felt anxious. Could she be right? I wondered. Not wanting to take any chances, I called my partner and explained that we needed to go grocery shopping immediately. Our plans to go to the park and cook dinner had to be put on hold. After disputing whether we were in panic mode, he agreed, and we were off to the store. On our way to the store, my sister called and I quizzed her on the state of her kitchen: Did she have enough dry goods? Coffee? Toilet paper? She told me she'd go shopping tomorrow, but that wasn't good enough for me. I demanded that she, too, drop whatever she was doing and go shopping. After I hung up, I realized that the same nervous energy that my friend passed onto me, I had passed onto my partner and my sister—all in a matter of minutes. This anxious energy was contagious.
