I hope you are all Safe and Well

I would like to explain I turn to this site because I am on my own in LocK Down and triggers exacerbate my anxiety

I am aware of the bigger picture given the huge loss of life due to the Corona Virus and again this saddens me

I am aware we all have one unique set of issues that we are trying to deal with and when I feel that I am unable to cope I am grateful there is someone willing to listen

Being lonely and isolated can really play havoc with mental health

Stay Safe Stay Well

Sorry to hear your on your own and struggling with what's going on during lockdown, it's a difficult time for all of us, and as you say we all have unique sets of issues to deal with every day.

What are you doing to keep your mind and hands active and busy? I find keeping busy helps me to keep my mind off what's going on, I've been doing lots of sewing and knitting for friends, and also lots of decluttering and cleaning around my home I started with the kitchen cupboards, decluttering and removing out of date things, I get such a great sense of achievement when I've completed something and it lifts my spirits too.

Stay safe and well

Thank you for answering my post

I hope you are safe and well

I should focus my energies on trying to prepare for an exam resit and start looking for the possibility of seeking ways to find a work placement in Wills and Probate

I am easily distracted and I have an elderly mother who lives overseas so when she tells me of her worries and she repeats herself it is then I wish I was working and had a sense of independence

I hope you stay well

Thank you for your reply

I would like to explain that we all have our own issues and health problems to deal with

The impact of this pandemic either makes people kinder and more compassionate or selfish and ego centred

I hope given my last post that I do not annoy the users of this on line group as my worries are very small in comparison to overall global picture

I hope you are well

Hi Roukaya ,

You can always tell us anything that is on your mind and that you want to get off your chest.

I have worries about my Nephew and Niece since I don't get to see them as I had been before before the lockdown started. I can video chat with them, but it's not the same.

I hope once Lock Down you will be able to see your Nephew and Niece

That's right. When you start something, then there's always an ending at some point.:-)

Thank you for being very real with me

It is very true

I should look at what I can do instead of looking at what I can’t do

I totally agree with what you have said

I myself am a Muslim snd I will be donating food parcels with sanitation to Syria , Rohinga and to Yemen

I watched an Islamic Programme which said that they do not even have water to wash their hands

I totally agree that if we take precautionary measures we have a greater chance of surviving this crisis

Hi there Roukaya,

If it helps, I really and truly understand how you feel. I could have written the same post myself .

I also live alone, and at times I feel positive by the sense of community and other times I feel that this is just my problem.

The best thing I can say is that the coming days , weeks and months will pass just as they would if you were living the dream or going through a global crisis.

I wish you good mental and physical strength through this x

Dear Gilliano

I hope you are safe and well

The Lock Down and social isolation is very hard for those who live alone

I was always able to go on excursions, swimming , visiting my elderly Mother overseas and going on several holidays

It feels as if our coping mechanism has been cut off

How are you coping in this situation

I have been told I should refocus my energies in interests or housework chores which have been neglected

As you are on the internet you could see if there are any uplifting positive webinars or on line classes which are to help us to cope with the restrictions imposed on us

Yoga on line and meditation can be of help

I used to travel a great deal one of my great pleasures and I would visit the Mind Body and Spirit Exhibition and as a result of the Lock Down they gave me a few free on line classes

One was very good about using this incubation time to refocus on ourselves and to listen to our intuition

Even this Lock Down has a purpose

I honesty believe that despite the huge changes which are taking place , goodness always comes out of a crisis

It will I hope become a kinder and more accepting world

If you wish to talk you can always speak to me

No matter the enormity of what is happening around us, it does not belittle or solve the problems we have. We still need to find ways to cope with them regardless of the terrible times we our in at present. We cannot neglect our own anxieties and fears, we still need to work through them. Bottling thing up just leads to bigger problems down the line. So when you posts, it is good because you are getting some of the stresses out. You are aware and dealing with the situations as they arise. We are here to offer support and that helps keep people positive, to know you are not alone. You are part of a caring community. xx
