I hope you are keeping safe and well

As I am self isolating and by myself I am appreciative that this community has been of great understanding and support to me

I am as we are all going through turbulent times ,my income is uncertain but I have always kept funds for a rainy day

But I think 🤔 I should try to not to dwell on my fears but try to be more yo proactive resolve my worries

Having so much time gives me too much thinking time and hence the mental health and issues are heightened

I must learn how to cope with the my own faith as a Muslim and through kind words of support and understanding

Stay Safe

I like that, proactive resolve, I can almost hear the positivity coming out of you. This, really is a good thing you are thinking this way. You are so right, when you have a lot of time on your hands, you dwell and your mind wanders and a small problem can feel like it has significantly increased, when it hasn't increased at all. It's just that you have had time to dwell and taken it out of proportion. I sense a confidence and strength in you and know you can move forward with your issues. Stay positive and I do hope you have a pleasant day. ☺☺☺

Thank you for your kind words

Trying to sort out the uncertainties I face, I will try to sort out step by step

How do you intend to spend your day?

I've got to brave the shops today. My mum and brother can't get online delivery till next week so they need some supplies picking up. So wish me luck 😁 I will be taking some exercise later when I take the dogs out for their walk. Probably catch up on here later in the evening. It's important to find some structure in the day even in you don't plan to go out. Even if it's going to a different room to read or a different room to exercise even in a small space structure is important.😁😁😁

I think you are quite right

I make a list but as the days seem like long weekends I rarely incorporate structure

Very good suggestion

I hope your day goes well

Hi Roukaya,

Actually I think you are doing amazingly well. I know you often mention your difficulty in coping, during this crisis, but you are managing your fears really well. As bobbybob has already mentioned, it's inevitable that our minds wander, over and over again, to how we will manage, and that's everybody, so don't think of yourself as weak for doing the same thing.

It's a wonderful thing too, to have a strong faith to cling to, so continue to do that and of course we are always here when you need to share how it's going for you.

So keep on doing what you are already doing Roukaya. This trying time won't be forever and one day you'll be back with your family and be able to put all this behind you. Take care today and stay safe.

I thank you for being kind enough to answer me

A kind word makes a world of difference to me

I will try to do my prayers more frequently as I have time to contemplate and refocus on what is important

Making the best of our situation within the restrictions we all face

How will you spend your day?

Thank you for your kind words

I hope you are well

In all of this I will try to do my prayers more frequently and take everything step by step

I think if one day we come out of this, our whole attitude to life would have fundamentally changed
