Coronavirus anxiety: Recognising the impact a pandemic can have on your mental health
“Beyond Blue has put together tips to help people take care of their mental health during home isolation, but they’re relevant for many of us who are simply physically distancing:
- Remind yourself that this is a temporary period of isolation
- Remember that your effort is helping others in the community
- Stay connected with friends, family and colleagues via email, social media, or phone
- Engage in healthy activities that you enjoy and find relaxing
- Keep regular sleep routines and eat healthy foods
- Try to maintain physical activity
- For those working from home, try to maintain a healthy balance by allocating specific work hours, and taking regular breaks
- Avoid news and social media if you find it distressing”
