HELP! I CANNOT GO ON! - what next?

As we look around us, we can see that the COVID-19 Pandemic has had a devastating impact on the mental health of many people around us, or even on ourselves.?Stress, anxiety, and depression are at an all-time high as the world readjusts to the “new normal”.?The emotional rollercoaster we are all on right now is demanding, to say the least.

These are some of the most common emotional struggles people are currently dealing with:

? Low self-esteem and self-worth

? Anxiety around the unknown

? Excessive fear and panic

? Loneliness and social isolation

? Feelings of confusion and disconnection

? Loss of a sense of purpose and direction

? Difficulty sleeping or sleeping too much

? Difficulty concentrating and staying on task

? Financial and employment concerns

? Relationship challenges

? Increasing addictive behaviours

? Increasing irritation and anger

CAN YOU IDENTIFY WITH ANY OF THE ABOVE?

With no clear end in sight, these issues can seem like insurmountable obstacles – but it doesn’t have to be that way.?It is important to remember that none of these emotions or challenges are permanent, nor do they define us.

Having said that, it is also important to take care of yourself, both mentally and physically, during these difficult times.?There are steps we can take on our own to help manage our emotions and start the healing process.

Here are some things you can do to get started on this journey:

? Reach out to friends and family

? Connect with your community or “tribe”

? Identify and process how you are feeling

? Manage stress levels in your life

? Prioritise self-care

? Set boundaries in your relationships

? Have fun and be creative every day

? Focus on being grateful for what you have

? Exercise regularly

? Eat a healthy, balanced diet

WHICH OF THE ABOVE ARE YOU ALREADY DOING REGULARLY?
