Tips for Coping with Anxiety During the COVID-19 Pandemic

You’ve been watching the news, reading news articles, and seeing tons of posts on social media about the COVID-19 health crisis. You don’t know how to feel about the changes you have had to make to keep you and your loved ones safe. You have anxiety and you’re worried about working from home while managing your family life or relationship. And, on top of all of that, you’re worried that all the progress you’ve made in therapy will be undone because you can’t travel to see your therapist right now. 

I understand these feelings. The whole world is grappling with the fallout of this global pandemic. Non-essential businesses have been shuttered, companies have closed down their offices and everyone is working from home, or out of a job. If your job is considered “essential” you still may be working, but now you’re in the front-line and having to worry about catching the COVID-19 virus.

Your Anxiety is at an All-Time High, but You Still Have Responsibilities to Fulfill

It’s no secret that life is a little more complicated right now. Regardless of the situation, you have more to worry about than you normally do. When you feel like this, you used to discuss it with your therapist in their office, but now you can’t even do that. So, how are you supposed to get the help you need?

Practicing Self-Care and Mindfulness Can Help Lessen Your Anxiety

One way you can feel better during this uncertain, and quite frankly, scary time is to practice mindfulness and good self-care. I know you’re juggling so many responsibilities right now, but it’s more important to take good care of yourself. 

Here are some suggestions to practice mindfulness and self-care:

• Take a minute, close your eyes, and breathe
• Take a bath
• Go for walks or runs
• Look on YouTube for a workout video that interests you 
• Get crafty
• FaceTime or video chat with your friends and family to stay connected
• Binge a TV show that you’ve been meaning to watch
• Read that book that’s been sitting on your nightstand for so long
• Cook or bake something delicious
