How to Cope with Coronavirus-Caused Mental Health Concerns

Today, it feels like everything has changed—it’s either been closed, postponed, or canceled. Some states have officially shut down. You’re working from home, while watching your kids (and trying to teach them). You haven’t seen or hugged your loved ones in weeks.
If you’re struggling with all of this, know you’re not alone. And know that there are concrete (small) steps you can take to feel better. Below are three mental health concerns you might be currently struggling with—and how you can effectively navigate them. During such a painful, unprecedented time, it’s natural to get sucked into worst-case-scenario thinking. And it doesn’t matter how many times you reassure yourself that everything will be fine, you only end up feeling worse.

It also can help to remind yourself that these catastrophic thoughts aren’t “expressions of facts,” Rajaee said. Rather, they’re “expressions of fear”—our brain’s way of trying to protect us, she said.

This makes sense. “We are in a catastrophic situation, so some level of catastrophic thinking feels appropriate,” said Jenn Hardy, Ph.D, a psychologist with a private practice in Maryville, Tenn. “The last thing that our anxiety needs to hear is some type of patronizing and dismissive reassurance.” Instead, Hardy suggested acknowledging that your concerns have validity in our current climate.

Concern: You feel disconnected and lonely.

You miss seeing your parents, taking walks with your best friend, and eating lunch with your coworkers. Whatever travel plans you had—like visiting your family in the spring—are now canceled. And you’re (understandably) devastated. The good news is that we can bust loneliness by getting creative.
Maybe even deeper ways. For example, tap into technology by using Zoom, Skype, or FaceTime to virtually play games together, said Sheva Rajaee, MFT, founder of The Center for Anxiety and OCD in Irvine, Calif.Or try these additional connection boosters with your loved ones, which come from Clinton Power:

  1. I know this is an unpopular opinion.
  2. But can we stop buying plants from Costco? Or any other windowless wholesale club
  3. Consider buying plants that are sold outdoors, that are not wrapped in plastic/kept

New York City psychotherapist and coach Kate Crocco, MSW, LCSW, suggested being the first person to reach out. “Often the best medicine for fear and sadness is being there for someone else.”

I want to thank Ayse Yazilitasa and her team. To help me get to know myself and people. The courses I have taken have made a great impression on me. My awareness has increased, I recommend these courses to everyone I know.I think that especially our young people should take these courses. I think that self-discovery courses should be taught just as well as education in the same school. For they are our future and the consciousness of our youth will increase with these courses.If you want to invest in yourself, join these courses

Our paths crossed several years ago and once again I have come to understand that nothing comes your way by chance.I started with 1 on 1 sessions and then continued with "discover your own strength" and "4d interaction training". It has done me so well and taught me so much from inner peace to understanding my frustrations, struggles and of course also why we have certain thoughts / feelings, that I went to camp and weekend training several times without thinking and with full confidence.Ayse is wonderful to deal with, straightforward and quick to the point, which I certainly appreciate.And of course not to forget Gulsun, Kubra and Ela, thank you all very much.Loving greetings 🤍

I would like to say a big thank you to Ayse and her team for what they have done for me .Especially Ayse, I have known for a few years, had no appetite for life, no opinion and no self-confidence at all. She has brought out my inner self so that I have now become a very spontaneous, cheerful and strong self-confident woman. 😉Dur

I did the 10 week course in which you get to know yourself again and where you learn to recognize and break old patterns. The one on one sessions with Ayse have been very educational and very good for my development.Elmas
