@tnmama I join others in welcoming you to Mayo Connect. No doubt the worries and anxiety you have voiced, are felt by many, so I thank you for having the courage to post this.
One of the big things I have done personally is to drastically limit my time exposed to media. Whether it is positive or negative, I simply do not need to hear multiple times an hour, what is going on with COVID-19. I am focusing on what will soothe me and redirect my attention. For me, that is going for a walk, looking at how spring is blooming all around me, do crafts, reading, writing.
What have you done in the past to ease your anxiety? Can you do that now? If you would like to share with us, we're listening!
