I know how you feel, I keep thinking that i will wake up and it will just be a nightmare. i am on the front line working and i sometimes just feel like giving up and going home but then i also worry about the people out there who have no one to look out for them. it feels selfish what ever i do. i volunteer for stuff but then worry about my grand children who need me. i feel trapped and home is not a pleasant place for me either.

what i have found helpful is checking out some of the funny memes on this site for coronavirus. they made me smile and distracted me a bit. I also try watching an easy to watch box set. it is ok to go out and get some fresh air, just stay away from people. do you live in a city ? i appreciate that it would be harder then. i also tried meditation which also helped. I also limit myself to the amount of news that i watch. as news just makes my anxiety even worse.
it is not easy but we are all in this together.
one day it will get better. I wish you well.
message me if you need to.

Dunno. . . 'Tis quite far from the first panic human culture has produced.

Personally, I find it rather refreshing to be the sanest person in the room. I've had time to accept the fact that I'm crazy and it makes the shock less shocking. A level playing field, at last? Maybe?

Just hoping. . .

My parent worry about no more toliet papers. I worry I will be depress because I cannot go to get massages or the clubs. Thanks gods we still have money.

Money buys even less happiness when the stores, etc., are all closed.

You're so correct. This world is crazy. I try not to mimic the craziness of the world. It's easy to fall prey of it, so I try to stay positive and safe in all that I do. I look at staying at home as a positive thing. When staying at home, you're less likely to get the virus, you are able to perform better and safer self care, and you're able to spend quality time with the ones you love. embracing the moment and living for today, and trying not to worry about what will happen tomorrow.

Continuing a hobby or developing a new hobby helps with the anxiety of it all. Also breathing exercises, reprogramming my mind with positive educational readings, and meditating/praying. I have found that if I stay away from sugars and drink and eat more healthier, that is helping me with my anxiety.

As for going out to get fresh air, that gives me anxiety because I have in my head that the virus is airborne. But I don't know how true that is. Instead, I have an air purifier in my bedroom that is helping me with coping of fresh air.

Hello Rommy19, I can understand what you are dealing right now. I have resulted to shut the news and listen to it only once in a day. Watching movies and listening to motivational messages. I can’t help thinking about keeping save and how best to stay safe with family around with some still having to go in and out of the house. All we can do now is stay hopeful and pray for things to change soon. I also try to redirect my focus and thought to keep my mind at peace. This all other epidemic will also pass.
