I was recently interviewed on FACE-IT ON TimeTV on How to cope with depression during COVID-19 pandemic.
I just want to highlight the 8 ideas i shared with the audience during the live interview on what you can do to help you cope:
- [ ] Help other people, be kind, and compassionate
- [ ] If you’re feeling like you’re not coping, get professional advice
- [ ] Take a breath
- [ ] Be aware of negative thoughts and do not give them power
- [ ] Stay focused on the here and now, taking each day step by step
- [ ] Cut down or stop the behaviours that are fuelling your anxiety
- [ ] Chanel your anxious energy into action
- [ ] Limit or avoid unhelpful media and misinformation.
