Battle out quarantine stress

Battle out quarantine stress  

As the World Health Organization declared the COVID-19 outbreak a global pandemic, we have to quarantine ourselves and all family members in our homes for the upcoming week before you step out from the lockdown. Capsized travel plans, indefinite isolation, panic over scarce re-sources and information overload could be a recipe for unchecked anxiety and feelings of isolation. 

Here are a few pointers that could help you survive strengthening negative thoughts about this uncertain time.

1.) Reframe “I am stuck inside” to “I can finally focus on my home & myself”

As depressing as the world may feel right now, think of the mandated work-from-home policy as an opportunity to refocus your attention from the external to the internal. Doing one productive thing per day can lead to a more positive attitude. Set your sights on long-avoided tasks, reorganize, or create something you’ve always wanted to. Approaching this time with a mind-set of feeling trapped or stuck will only stress you out more. This is your chance to slow down and focus on yourself.

2.) Stay close to your normal routine

Try and maintain some resemblance of structure from the pre-quarantine days. For those individuals with children, sticking to a routine might be easier; however, as you work from home, it could be tempting to fall into a more lethargic lifestyle, which could lead to negative thinking. Wake up and go to bed around the same time, eat meals, shower, adapt your exercise regimen, and get out of your home wear. Do laundry as usual. Not only will sticking to your normal routine keep you active and less likely to coiled, it will be easier to readjust to the outside world when it’s time to get back to work.

3.) Avoid obsessing over endless Coronavirus coverage

Freeing up your day from work or social obligations gives you plenty of time to obsess, and if you have a tendency to consult Google group chats and news for every itch and sneeze, you may be over-researching the pandemic as well. Choosing only certain credible websites for a limited amount of time each day (perhaps two chunks of 30 minutes each) will be in your best interest during this time.

4.) A chaotic home can lead to a chaotic mind

With all the uncertainly happening outside your home, keep the inside organized, predictable and clean. Setting up mental zones for daily activities can be helpful to organize your day. For example, try not to eat in bed or work on the sofa- just as before, eat at the kitchen table and work at your desk. Loosening these boundaries just muddles your routine and can make the day feel very long. Additionally, a cluttered home can cause you to become uneasy and claustrophobic of your environment- so keep it tidy.

5.) Start a new quarantine ritual

With this newfound time, why not do something special during these quarantined days? For ex-ample, perhaps you can start a daily journal to jot down thoughts and feelings to reflect on later. Or connect with your siblings and friends over video calling in the morning. Having something special during this time will help you look forward to each new day.

Letting go of illusions of control and finding peace in the fact that you are doing your part to “flatten the curve” will certainly build mental strength to combat the stressful situation the whole globe is experiencing.

Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)

Your BODY is talking to you. ARE YOU LISTENING?

Root cause for Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)

You have experienced a traumatic event and haven’t completed the trauma; instead it has been suppressed. You want to escape your emotions and instead of improving your situation, you effectively make it worse. You are using great deal of energy to keep this trauma at bay. The symptoms of trauma are or were too painful to deal with.

Your ability to feel safe has been challenged in a way that you have never experienced before. People with whom you should have felt safe have betrayed your trust and may have caused great emotional stress. You have been exposed to unsafe circumstances. These types of circumstances triggered a survival instinct such as fight, flight or feeling frozen. In this case, your flight and fight instincts have been triggered. This has made you continuously nervous, always on the lookout for danger. Always being alert is what has kept you safe during traumatic times.
