How are you handling anxiety in this time of COVID-19?

I suffer from anxiety and take medication daily to help me get thru it, and especially at night. I try to find other things to do during times like this. For this reason, I try really hard to do something I like to do, or do things with other people. Since that isn't possible now, I trying really hard to exercise and keep that routine up. My trainer is making videos every MWF for us to use, and sent out our individual workout sheets for us to work off of. She also really stresses that exercise is very important during this time. Is it hard - you bet it is! But I believe that it can be very helpful.

Yoga for anxiety/ depression- have you try that as well- lot of that coming out. The dog down and up Also do something different- draw/ cook different types of foods. I am a reader and very rare I cannot read-today has proven more anxiety ridden because my depression doctor wants to do a phone call-I have a hard time hearing since hearing aids are not fright for me ( cannot afford to replace 15 year old aids) Nervous wreck- so I have trying to change my mind cues- imagery of nature or look at my photos usually helps. Too much anxiety today.

You tube has some good guided meditation. There's a gentleman called Jason Stevenson who has just uploaded one dealing with anxiety on this virus. He has a very comforting voice. Give it a try. Hope it helps.
