It has been more than a year since Covid-19 was first reported resulting in massive lockdowns worldwide. As humans are social beings, it is not normal for us to be in solitude for a long time.

Few people might fail to admit or are unaware that they are experiencing anxiety attacks, and this is normal. But help is crucial when the amount of anxiety worsen, and its effects could be uncontrollable. Anxiety attacks are a mix of extreme and overwhelming physical and mental symptoms.

Treating muscular tension helps lessen worry symptoms. • Sleeping difficulties are quite frequent with persons with anxiety. Management of anxiety can generally also contribute to improving sleep quality. Now that we know the possible symptoms, here are some ways we can do to cope with anxiety: • Look for ways to loosen up and relax. If you have a pastime that you can perform at home, make sure you have all the equipment and tools you need beforehand. • Have someone you trust with whom you can communicate your feelings and emotions. • Having a well-balanced diet, getting lots of rest, and engaging in recreational activities are all important in maintaining physical and psychological well-being during tough times. • If anxiety is a persistent problem for you, consider limiting your exposure to social media to a certain time of day. Anxiety, like any other mental health issue, requires attention. With the situation we are currently facing due to the pandemic, it will be harder for us to stay sane and calm. But we must keep in mind that we are stronger than our fears or our weaknesses. People with anxiety and other mental health issues are not alone in this fight. We must help each other to heal, get up and seize the day, every day until the COVID-19 pandemic is over.

When something terrible happens, it directly affects our mental health and makes us a mentally ill person. We can’t concentrate on what we do in our daily life. We become a depressed person. Everything looks useless, and we feel hopeless. DIFFICULTIES DURING RECOVERY. Recovery from the effects of the drastic incident on our mind is a time taking, and the frustrating process takes about 4 to 8 months to recover from a very terrible incident. But this time span can be reduced to 3 to 6 months when the person is treated rightly and carefully. We need to move on and want to forget and get off all the wrong things. We worked hard only to get peace of mind and good health. Most of time, we find ourselves in a series of repeating thoughts, just like a cycle. We thought that “I am working really hard and trying my best to move on , but I am not making much improvement.I am still there where I started.”These thoughts push you more backwards and make you more mentally ill, helping you move on. Due to some bad incidents and hardships of life, it does not mean that life is over, there is nothing in life. Some bad incidents do not decide your way of living. You should not be hopeless and always try to catch positive vibes and get rid of negative thoughts. It will make you easy to move on. Enroll Now
