We all react differently during difficult times. Feelings of stress, anxiety, or fear are natural responses to a crisis. If you feel very worried or have sleeping problems, there are some things you can try do which might help you cope with your feelings:
- Talk to friends or family about your feelings and don’t hesitate to ask them for support.
- Use reliable sources of information about COVID-19.
- Limit the time you spend reading news and social media.
- Keep your daily routines as much as possible, and do things you find enjoyable and relaxing.
- Try to get fresh air, and stay physically active.
The WHO also provide advice on how to cope with stress during the COVID-19 outbreak.
