Mask wearing

Hi all, I'm new to the forums but and really struggling atm. I have a number of mental health issues but the ones that are the hardest to manage for me at the moment are GAD, depression and complex PTSD.
Today in my state further changes where made to the face covering we are required to wear when leaving our homes. Is anyone else suffering with these changes? Have any suggestions on advocacy for those with mental health disorders?

I am in bed riddled with extreme anxiety, and the mask wearing is a major tigger for me due to my PTSD related issues.... past of trauma around suffocation and abuse. My issue is that while I have a exemption letter from my GP saying I could only wear a face shield, I didn't feel to self conscious while this was acceptable to the govt. now with these changes I feel I can't leave the house without scrutiny, people judging, asking questions etc... this may or may not happen I realise this but it is all part of my anxiety..... I feel these changes are unwarranted and further stigmatising and I have no voice or escape from the anxiety... a prisoner in my own mind.

I have mastered to the best of my abilities over the year putting on my everything is ok act.... but Covid is pushing my past my breaking point.
