I can understand your situation as most of the people in the world are going through tough phase. But you need not to worry as you can always take professional help from a clinical psychologist to learn ways to deal with your current concern.

You need to understand one thing that as much you will think about this you will get more involve in this and your thinking and fear will start to control your thoughts and life. So stop thinking on this it happens with many the only difference is that some people can control it and slowly it fades from their thoughts.in short its you who can deal with this but here question comes how? For this you can consult any professional that person can help you in this. You can contact me online also.

Hai . You should try reaching out to someone at this point . And if that seems far fetched try a new hobby and if it doesn’t work then meet with your therapist.

Meditation can be overwhelming at this point so try some new hobbies like baking , painting , planting etc might be a little relaxing

Why are you scared? Talk to me Consult with me or any psychologist for therapy and counseling online All the best:)

1. practice breathing exercises 2. sleep well 3. stop having negative feelings 4. don't get self free, do follow your passion

Hi, I can understand that you are going through difficult situation but belive me that you are not alone in this journey. I really appreciate you voicing your concerns here. There are few simple steps which can give you some relief.

Deep Breathing technique. Finding minor works to keep you occupied. Ignoring news for few weeks especially scary ones which have no remedies or precautions. Speaking to School friends and gathering Forgotten memories are worth trying. Music, Gardening, Movie etc helps.

If nothing is working, speaking to a Counsellor will help you to manage your anxiety. Take care,

Fear and anxiety are good. Accept it that you have it. Don't deny it, problems starts when you reject it. Soooo accept your pain with your total heart and mind. Now take this situation to a movie screen 💻 and hold yourself back on the seat of spectator. Watch it, what kind of turns it will take, OMG it becomes the beautiful journey, where you feel blessed to see how the fear converts into such an exciting journey. It is the process and fear is the building block for it.

Accept it and train your heart and mind.

I understand your predicament and would like to make a few suggestions that could help you take care of your psychological well being. You will also be able to manage your emotions better. Awareness of how the mind works and how thoughts are generated will help you deal with them and thereby overcome the challenges you are facing right now. The nature of the Mind, which in simple terms we experience as thoughts, is such that, it will keep shifting its focus from one object/topic/event to another. Ii always needs something to hold on to. Today the mind is fixated on something. Tomorrow it might be on another topic/event/person. Another important characteristic of the Mind is this - You may either have thoughts about the past or the future. This keeps alternating. Try thinking about the present moment - you will see that the Mind and 'Now' can never coexist. The Mind has 3 states in general. Sometimes, you may find yourself having very positive, inspiring thoughts. During other times, you may find yourself very emotional, or all charged for action. Whereas during other times, you may feel very lethargic, dull or lazy. These states will keep alternating. Having understood the nature of the mind, the first step towards mental health is to become aware of your thoughts. Learning to be an observer of your thoughts, learning to observe them from a distance like clouds passing in the sky. Just like how the clothes you are wearing right now are yours, but not you, thoughts that you experience from time to time are yours, but not you. The next step is knowing that you have the power to choose which thought you wish to focus on and act on and exercising that power. With practice, you will have better mastery over this process. Having negative thoughts is something that plagues everybody from time to time. Trust me, even if everything was perfect, we may still find some shortcomings somewhere and brood about it. As mentioned above, with practice, you will learn to focus and entertain only those thoughts are healthy enough to be acted upon. Whenever you feel overwhelmed by thoughts, just bring your focus back to your breath and take a few relaxing breaths. Here is a breathing exercise that could help you : You may do this in the night too once you have finished with your tasks for the day : Inhale slowly to a count of four - hold your breath to a count of four - exhale slowly to a count of eight. Repeat this twenty times. You may do this also in the morning before you begin your daily routine. Gently massage the back of your neck and the base of the skull when you lie down to rest. Whatever you feed your mind through your sense organs will be replayed to you as thoughts. Be conscious of this. Take care of the content you feed your mind - the kind of books you read, the websites you visit, the kind of music you listen to, the kind of food you eat, the kind of company you keep ( "You are an average of five people you spend most of your time with" ) Our attitude towards life in general and things in particular is based on our Beliefs - what we believe to be true about ourselves and the world. What are your core beliefs about yourself and the world? What are those facts on the basis of which you feel hopeless, anxious or fearful? Is your situation really hopeless? Is there absolutely no scope for hope? Try writing them down and examine the validity of these beliefs. Some of them may be limiting and negative in nature because of the kind of feedback you received while growing up - at home, in school, from your classmates, friends, relatives, etc. But once you are aware of them, you shed light on them,examine their truth, they can no longer manipulate your behavior or actions. As your beliefs change, your attitude changes, and words, actions and behavior follow. Ask yourself : Where would I like to see myself ten years from now? What should I do today to reach there ten years from now? What would I do if I knew I wouldn't fail? What would I do if I weren't afraid? No matter how impossible the answers might seem, I want you to know that you can make them possible. Take the first step. The rest will follow. Take ownership of every moment, take responsibility for it and confidently work towards your dreams and aspirations. One day you will thank these dark moments for being the fuel for your success. Please set aside time for exercise daily and make sure you eat healthy every time. Our challenges that seem to threaten our very existence are the ones that serve as fuel for our evolution.

Hello dear thanks for your approach to us. I understand your concern, due to the external crisis and lockdown most of them are feeling negative, It's ok.. I am not sure if you are working women or not..I would like to suggest few things: As you are alone no, less of social life. You can spend self time , try to explore new activities and skills. Like gardening, splash painting, word building in different languages.. If you would like to cook enjoy different dishes may 2 days a week, As you know the process for safety of COVID- tell your self, I am following the procedure, I will be safe.. Sometimes making walk hanging using Anchor stitch kit.. you would like that different designs... If there are school friends try to connect with them.. develop the bondage with your family and loved ones. Try to share your emotions to whom you feel comfortable.
