Struggling with painful feelings due to the pandemic? Here are some healthy ways to cope.
. These emotions are normal, important, and part of what it means to be human, and they're also uniting us across cultural and political divides. After all, we are worried about the same virus and sad about its terrible impacts wherever we are.
Is my heart racing as I think ahead and try to plan for every contingency? Does the news make me jittery andAm I angry that politicians did too little too late, downplayed the risks, and as a result, hospitals still don't have all the tests and equipment they need? Does my blood boil when I read the news?
Finally, if the suggestions above feel overwhelming because you're not accustomed to them, ask yourself,"What daily routines have soothed me and provided balance in the past?" Turn to these now.If sorrow is the predominant difficult emotion you are experiencing, you may also benefit from turning the channel. Habitually reading, watching, or listening to bad news will not help you.
Who is working to provide your food, products, and electricity? Turn your thoughts and appreciation to these people and focus on what you are grateful for.If anger is the predominant difficult emotion you are experiencing, your best bet is to put all that fiery energy toward creating positive change.Choose one issue or problem related to the pandemic that angers you. Identify the causes of that problem.
If anger is your general go-to emotion, and you are easily irked, pay attention to your inclination to turn your feelings outward to blame others.
