Tips to help in case of anxiety from the Corona virus

The outbreak of the new Corona virus (Covid 19) means a change in life around us for a period of time, which may cause disturbance, feelings of tension, anxiety, sadness, boredom, loneliness or frustration.

It is important to be aware that there is nothing wrong with feeling this kind of feeling, and that each of us has a way of expressing what is inside. Let us remember that this situation is temporary, and those difficult feelings will not last long.

There are some simple things that you can do to help you maintain your mental health in times of uncertainty and suspicion. By taking these steps, you can think clearly and ensure that you can take care of yourself and take care of those you care about.

Here are 10 steps to help improve mental health if you feel anxious or anxious about an outbreak of the new Corona virus. For tips and advice while staying at home, see our advice on maintaining mental health while staying at home. It is essential to follow the latest official guidelines for staying at home and isolation from others to keep everyone safe.

1. Be in constant contact with others

It is important to maintain normal and healthy relationships with the people we trust for our psychological and mental well-being, so you should think about how to stay in constant contact with friends and family members when you need to stay at home.

This type of communication can be achieved by making phone calls, video calls, or using social media rather than meeting them personally outside the home - whether it is with those you usually meet or communicating with old friends.

2. Talk about what worries you

It is normal for you to feel anxiety, fear or disability about the status quo. But remember, you can tell your confidence that you trust them, as it can help them, too.

If you are someone who can't talk to someone they know or if you know that it won't change anything, there are many help lines that you can try instead of the previous solutions.

 3. Support others and give them a hand

By lending a helping hand to others, it may benefit you as well, so try to be more understanding of other people's fears or upset about them or if their behavior changes at this time.

Try to think of things you can do to help those around you. Do you have a friend or family member near you that you can write to? Are there any community groups you can join to support others at the local level within your area?

Do not forget that it is necessary to do this in line with the official guidelines of the emerging coronavirus to keep everyone safe.

 4. Always be prepared

Thinking about the consequences of staying at home can help you be more prepared with less stress and anxiety. Think about the work you do in any normal week: How will your work be affected? And what do you need to do to solve any problems?

If you haven't already talked to your employer, you might want to talk to your employer, then understand your rights to get paid sick leave, and provide some basics while you are at home.

You can also think about who you can use to help your community - as well as people you know, as many local and community help groups are created. And do not forget that this disorder should not last long.

5. Take care of your body and health

Our physical health has a huge impact on how we feel. And at times like this, it can be easy to fall into unhealthy behavior patterns that end up feeling bad.

Try to eat healthy, well-balanced meals, drink enough water and exercise regularly. Avoid smoking or using drugs and try not to drink too much alcohol.

You can leave your home alone or with a family member to do one form of exercise every day - such as walking, jogging, or biking. But keep a safe distance of 2 meters from others, or you can do one of our 10-minute homework.

6. Do not be dragged into rumors

Find a reliable source that you can trust - like GOV.UK or NHS - and verify the information you get from the news feed, social media, or other people.

Think about how inaccurate information affects others, too. And try not to share the information without validating it by looking at the reliable sources.

You may also want to limit the time you spend watching, reading, or listening to any news that covers the disease outbreak, including those posted on social media, and consider turning off breaking news notifications on your phone.

You can either set yourself a set time to read the latest news, or limit yourself to seeing only twice the news per day.

 7. Control difficult feelings

Concern about an outbreak of the Coronavirus is normal for everyone, but some individuals may experience increased anxiety, which may affect their daily lives.

Try to focus on things that you can control, such as your behavior, with whom you speak, where to get information, and how often to see the latest developments.

It's good to know that there are some things out of control, but if persistent thoughts about the emerging coronavirus cause you to feel anxiety or confusion, try using some ideas that help you control your anxiety or listen to an audio guide.

 8. Do the things you love and enjoy

If we feel fear, anxiety, sadness, or frustration, we may stop doing the things we usually enjoy. Focusing on favorite hobbies, relaxing indoors, or communicating with others may help relieve thoughts and feelings of anxiety.

If you can't do the things you naturally enjoy due to staying at home, think about how to adapt to the current situation or try to do something new.

There are a lot of free tutorials and courses online, and people are creating new ways to do things like hosting entertainment competitions and online concerts.

 9. Focus on the present

Focusing on the present rather than worrying about the future will help you overcome difficult emotions and improve our health. Relaxation techniques can help some individuals cope with their anxiety, or you can try watching a video about meditation and mental clarity.

10. Take care of your sleep times

Good sleep makes a big difference about how we feel mentally and physically, so it is essential to get enough sleep.

Try to maintain regular sleep patterns while exercising healthy sleep habits, such as avoiding using mobile phones or the like before bed, reducing caffeine intake, and creating a comfortable and relaxing environment. For more tips on sleeping, you can view the Sleep page on our website.
