Hello everyone,
Been struggling a lot lately with everything going on, thought that I would ask the community for ideas on how to create safety. Thanks, HD7970ghz __________________ "stand for those who are forgotten - sacrifice for those who forget" "roller coasters not only go up and down - they also go in circles" "the point of therapy - is to get out of therapy" "don't put all your eggs - in one basket" "promote pleasure - prevent pain" "with change - comes loss" |

I am sorry you are struggling, it’s a tough time, isn’t it? Are you isolated? Stuck up on necessities? Have phone numbers where you call in emergency?

 This is such a harsh time for everyone and the depression and anxiety is likely to be harder for those of us with mental illness.Can you explain what you mean by creating refuge? __________________ |

Work to stay busy, yet make time to relax, and try to contact a friend or family member daily.

I have been following the "5 things" to the best of my ability. My neighbor who is a nurse said it really does help to not contract the virus: wash your hands frequently, don't touch your face, stay home, 6 feet apart, sanitize...and I'm looking for a facemask. If you have to touch you face, try to wash your hands or sanitize first.
I've also been curbing my news intake. (Maybe a little too much now). I've been finding ways to laugh when I can - YouTube helps with that, so do CV19 memes. And I've been socializing and nurturing my relationships at a distance - phone, video chat, online, text, etc. Hugs to you, HD, you asked a good question. |

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
