Covid-19 and mental health
We are all aware of the Covid-19 and how it’s affecting the world we live in. People’s lives have
changed so rapidly, whether you know some who has been infected or you are on lockdown trying to help and stop the spreading of the virus. It’s a hard situation we are in and this pandemic is also affecting people’s mental health. Isolation, physical distancing, the closure of schools and workplaces are challenges that affect us, and it is natural to feel stress, anxiety, fear, and loneliness, etc. during these times is important to always try to keep your self distracted by exercising, reading, crafts anything that can help you feel motivated. There’s already a good amount of people who suffer from anxiety and depression and being on lockdown doesn’t help their mental health, so always checking on your family and friends maybe neighbors as well can be very helpful.
I am glad that the only thing I have to worry about, for the most part, is keeping myself on a schedule where I can do my homework and do other activities to just wait for this lockdown to end. Other people are more vulnerable to the virus, people with medical conditions or low financial income who are now without a job, homeless, the elderly, etc. They don’t count on the advantage that most of us have. Not being able to go out to get food and feed their families or buy essentials that they might need is extremely hard. Italy reported 909 deaths in a day, this can create a lot of fear and chaos but trying to remember to maintain calm and follow protocol can help and hopefully, we can help this epidemic end as soon as possible.
i hope everyone is staying safe.
I think the best thing people need to do in these hard times is just staying home I have a feeling that if peopled would have listened from the start to stay home this virus wouldn't have been spreading so rapidly. I know that it is a lot of the young people that cant stand the fact of staying home all day but we need to began to understand that this is a serious matter and that there is other people that are staying home to control the virus. Given this other people need to stay everyone in consideration and just stay home so that this virus can stop spreading so rapidly. I know that this has been a tough week for me due to the fact that I have not seen my friend and I miss it I even miss going to school.. This situation can change if younger people just stay home like everyone else tbh. I want to be able to go outside and not have to worry about getting sick or even getting my family sick.
ReplyDeleteStaying at home is the best thing to do right now. The number of confirmed cases in the US have gone up and surpassed China's number of confirmed cases. A lot of people aren't taking self-isolation seriously, mostly teenagers. Staying inside can be a lot for people that have mental health issues because you are stuck in a house and can only do a limited amount of activities. I agree that checking in with friends and family can be helpful for everyone because social interaction is good for everyone.
