What is the current situation from the point of view of psychology?
About anxiety.
About the anxiety that each of us has. We all have a certain level of anxiety. Our anxiety manifests itself in different situations. For some people, and in favorable conditions, there is cause for alarm. "It's too good to be true", "no matter what happens", "who laughs a lot will cry a lot."
Some people, on the contrary, are able to remain calm and not give in to anxiety even in difficult life situations.
One of the main ways to deal with anxiety is through control. This is one of the defense mechanisms of our psyche. After all, when we are in control of the situation, we have nothing to be afraid of. We have scheduled working days and weekends, planned vacations, even during the day we have drawn up our own schedule, which we follow.
What is happening now? We're losing control. We are no longer sure what will happen tomorrow, in a week, a month … We do not control the situation, little depends on us.
Together with control, we also lose support, protection.
So, for example, buying masks, medicines, food is a way to regain control, to cope with increasing anxiety.
You can watch yourself to see how you deal with your anxiety.
What other ways can there be to deal with anxiety?
The most important thing is information control.
Just as what we eat creates our body, so the information we receive shapes our psyche.
Try to shield yourself from negative information. Provide yourself with helpful information that builds a positive attitude.
Analyze your anxiety - what is it about?
In the current situation, almost all areas of life are affected. At the same time, everyone worries about their own. About your health or the health of loved ones, about life, about lost time or opportunities, money. About unfulfilled rest, about the fate of mankind.
What are you worried about? By analyzing your fears, you can understand what is most valuable to you. You will be able to direct your development in a certain direction.
Try to accept the situation.
Some people really find it hard to come to terms with the fact that they do not own their lives. But in some cases, such awareness is simply necessary. Otherwise, a lot of vitality will go to the internal struggle.
Find benefits.
Right now you have the opportunity to do what you wanted to do for a long time, but you also did not have time for it.
Take a break from work, chat with loved ones, watch your favorite movie / TV series, read a book, change jobs, try a new hobby? Indeed, there are many opportunities. Which one will you choose?

Once I, being a born lark, really wanted to become an owl. Owls seemed to me elite and creative.

This is how the beau monde spent time in the hostel of the literary institute, where I found myself in a strange and unexpected way for myself, back in 1993 On a time machine in 1993 … My husband and I went to night guests to our neighbors, where
