Fears about COVID-19 has taken an emotional toll, especially when we are already living with stress & anxiety. But you’re not powerless.
It’s a frightening time. We’re in the midst of a worldwide pandemic, with cities and even entire countries shutting down. As we are moving to Unlock stages, we are bracing for what may come. And all of us are watching the headlines and wondering,
“What is going to happen next?”
There are so many things outside of our control, including how long the pandemic lasts, how other people behave, and what’s going to happen in our communities.
These can be difficult times for all of us as we hear about spread of COVID-19 from all over the world, through television, social media, newspapers, family and friends and other sources. The most common emotion faced by all is Fear. It makes us anxious, panicky and can even possibly make us think, say or do things that we might not consider appropriate under normal circumstances.
For many people, the uncertainty surrounding coronavirus is the hardest thing to handle. We don’t know how exactly we’ll be impacted or how bad things might get. And that makes it all too easy to catastrophize and spiral out into overwhelming dread and panic. But there are many things you can do—even in the face of this unique crisis— to manage your anxiety and fears.
Stay informed—but don’t obsessively check the news It’s vital to stay informed, particularly about what’s happening in your local area, so you can follow advised safety precautions and do your part to slow the spread of coronavirus which is to stay home. But there’s a lot of misinformation & fake news going around, as well as sensationalistic coverage that only feeds into fear.
