I was this way recently. The exact same way. But, I shut everybody out. I stopped talking to my family, my friends.

You are doing a good thing by keeping in contact. It’s hard to not want to just distract yourself because things are scary right now. I do it! We all do it. We all just have our own way of doing it. Maybe try adding in another activity/distraction. And go from there. This isn’t going to last forever. You’ve survived 100% of your worst days so far.
