One way or another, quarantine introduces its own rules into our reality. It worries, causes misunderstanding, worries again, but ultimately forces you to adapt.
Yes, for those who are familiar with anxiety personally, and not from stories, it becomes even more difficult at such a time under the question mark. Because the already fragile foundations become shaky sand.
And yes, now is the time when all sorts of eating disorders will begin to flourish, taking over the control center of the body. Now they will more actively lay siege to a considerable part of consciousness, all kinds of obsessive-compulsive mechanisms. Now is the time when rituals will want to rule your inner world. And that's okay. No psyche is steel, and during a period of increased stress, everything that has been combed for a long time will stubbornly shaggy. Do not scold yourself)
This is an objectively difficult time. You need to find strength in yourself and - to adapt.
At work. The online format is already confidently becoming the format of the future. Of course, you can't do a haircut, massage or manicure on Skype (muffled sobs). But online, you can do a lot of other things, from improving your own skills and recognizing your services to getting new skills altogether. We remember the now commonplace saying about life, lemon and lemonade.
In relationship. We need to remember what it is like to be together for a long time instead of the usual couple of hours after work. How does it feel - at least not to interfere with each other, but as a maximum - to enjoy this time, to find joy and a resource for each other in it. It's time to remember why you still stay together.
In therapy. Format change is always a difficult story. When you work online and see only, in fact, the face, and then suddenly you meet in the office and see the whole person: his movements, gait, even smell. And all this makes the therapist from just a picture in the monitor into a real sentient - a person. Shock)
The same happens when you change the format in reverse. This is a very difficult story when, after a cozy, closed and safe space, you need to look for another place to hide. It's good if home can become such a place. But if it is not safe at home, it will be necessary to look for a more comfortable place to communicate. But what if you are used to relying on the interlocutor as a reflection, pushing off from the slightest fluctuations in the position of your head and light rocking of your shoes? The online format will, of course, rob you of those clues and that robust bodily level. To some extent, it leaves only the abstract, spiritual. And this is another test)
You have already read a lot about how to take care of yourself informationally:
• Filter sources that write about the pandemic. Now almost every monitor sits a specialist in virology, conspiracy and conspiracy. Therefore, find two or three reliable sources and read there.
• Do not update the feeds of all social networks continuously, otherwise paranoia will not take long.
• If you still find yourself scrolling through the news feed, make an effort and put your phone down. Because you can't overcome anxiety like that) put the long-gutted things on the shelves, sort out the pile of washed socks, squeeze out of the windowsill as much as you can.
• Keep calm and carry on. Exhale and continue doing your usual work. Continue to live, not expect disaster.
