6. Stay in Contact
Just because we are all physically apart, it doesn’t mean that we cannot connect.
The world of social media and the Internet has made it possible for everyone to connect with each other.
Phone calls to your loved ones also help. Stay in touch with friends and family. If you are missing that in-person experience, try video chatting.
7. Be Kind To Yourself
Go easy on yourself. If you are experiencing more depression or anxiety than usual, remember that you are not alone in your struggles. Reach out to someone. If you do not feel like reaching out to someone you know, there are different hotlines and communities where you can call or log on anonymously.
8. Do Not React to Physical Symptoms
Do not go out of your way to scan your body looking for COVID-19 symptoms. This will only reinforce your worries and increase your anxiety.
