Dealing with mental health amidst pandemic
The COVID-19 pandemic is having a profound emotional toll on people around the world.
The loss of long-awaited opportunities has led to anger and frustration, and the uncertainty over the future is leading to gloom and anxiety.
Amid quarantine and new—sometimes strange—living configurations, many are isolated and are feeling physically and socially distant from their loved ones.
Hi there! You seem tired, come in! Feel at home, do whatever you want here, we’re all at the same page here. As the pandemic in our country worsens, citizens are having a hard time handling their mental state. The fear of having the virus, the constant trauma on keeping a distance with people, and the countless thoughts running in our minds whenever someone close to us coughs. We’ve all been there and that’s why we’re here to bring you a safe space for your worries and doubts. So take a few deep breaths, close your eyes for a second, and then let it all out here on Mental Visor.
How to cope up?
Reach out to a neighbor who may need help. Be mindful if you have a neighbor who may be in the at-risk population and if you are heading out to the store, ask them if they need anything that you can pick up. This will not only help them, it will also help you. Simple acts like these can go a long way and can also make us feel better.
Social distancing doesn’t mean social isolation. Reach out to your friends and family and talk and connect via phone or FaceTime. With all of the technology we have at our fingertips, make use of your social network to not be isolated.
Regular physical activity is a good way to help prevent or manage mild anxiety and depression. Keeping active can help you stay physically fit and mentally healthy.
