The only way you can get anxiety down is to do relaxation exercises (a lot of them on YouTube). Please try to imagine that we all are connected here at PC. We are holding hands. Try to get some fresh air in a park or similar, but keep distance to other people. To distract play games, use Netflix or something else to focus upon. Lay cabal or something else.
CABAL:
Klondike Solitaire, Turn One - free online card game
A GOOD WEB PAGE TO LEARN TO FOCUS ON SOMETHING ELSE:
CBT Self Help Resources
STOPP SKILL
STOPP skill
Don't forget to scroll down to the STOPP - video at the same page.
It is also possible to load down the STOPP app. I have already done that. My experience is that it is effective.
If you or others feel overwhelmed and cannot reach your therapists, google "
Mental health helpline, international telephone number in the EU / EEA " or call (in Europe only)
116 123.
I am in the risk group (have chronic diseases). Only 5 minutes ago I had to do relaxation exercises. I will do them again if necessary.
I'm so glad that I got my hair cut before the hairdressers had to shut down their shops.
Come on, we will do this together! We must try the best we can to not give in now, but to keep the wellness we have already struggled for at the same level!
Good Luck! We are all together and care for each other!
