Help with Coronavirus Anxiety

How does CoronaVirus affect mental health?

The changes in our lives, due to CoronaVirus, can cause deep concern and anxiety in both our conscious minds, which we can be aware of, and our subconscious minds, that we are less directly aware of.

CoronaVirus has impacted many of the fundamental human needs, which the Human Givens theory of psychology describes as:

Security
Autonomy and control
Status
Privacy
Attention
Community connection
Intimacy
Competence and achievement
Meaning and purpose

How many of your Human Givens have been affected by CoronaVirus / Covid-19?

What are the symptoms of Coronavirus stress?

CoronaVirus / Covid-19 can affect people's mental health in many different ways.

Some of the concerns are conscious and can be logically worked through.

Some of the concerns are subconscious, in our powerful Primal Mind, which may not be as obvious and may make less sense, but can still make a significant change in how we think or feel. For example:

Anxiety and feeling anxious or angst.
Worry and feelings that something bad is about to happen.
Anger and feeling more angry at someone or in general.
Insomnia with difficulty going to sleep or staying asleep.
Trauma or PTSD feelings and emotions.
Difficulty concentrating, having brain fog or being constantly tired.
Disproportionate fear or phobia of going outside or meeting people.
Relationship difficulties.

We have also provided a list of 8 common ways to help ease anxiety below.

Accept the feelings. Your subconscious is giving you a message. Thank it for the message, and calmly confirm you're not in immediate danger.
Take a moment. Many of us run around at full speed all day. Like we're being chased by a lion. This means we don't have extra capacity, or resilience, for when new things come along. Take some time for yourself. You deserve it.
Focus in your body. Notice how your body feels and where the tensions are. Give it a warming mental massage.
Slow, deep breaths. By breathing more slowly and deeply, you can tell your body that everything is OK.
Imagine seeing yourself from outer space. See your house and your town. See other people, happy and healthy. Know that things are OK.
Think how it feels to feel healthy.
Escape from relentless media cycles. Find a hobby at home. Music, art or exercise?
Laugh lots! Find things you enjoy. You can know that life is OK.

Please note that anxiety can be a serious mental health condition.

If you are struggling, always consult a medical health professional.
