Isolation and being stuck at home quarantined has been the country’s new normal recently. How does this affect our everyday lives?
According to the CDC, Isolation can cause stress for adults in the following areas:
- Fear and worry about your own health and the health of your loved ones
- Changes in sleep or eating patterns
- Difficulty sleeping or concentrating
- Worsening of chronic health problems
- Worsening of mental health conditions
Everyone reacts differently to situations and that is okay. The important part is to make sure you are taking care of yourself during this time. Taking care of yourself can help you cope with the stress and anxiety of isolation.
What are some ways you can cope with stress and anxiety at home?
- Eating Healthy
- Exercise
- Maintain good sleeping habits
- Journal
- Reach out to friends and family through facetime, zoom or social media
- Take deep breaths, stretch or meditate
- Make time to unwind and relax
