Coping During the Lockdown
Hi
How is everyone coping with the lockdown?
It is tough times for many of us at the moment, I hope you are finding ways to cope during these strange days?
I’m finding it hard wondering what will happen after this is all over. I try to cope by just taking one day at a time and focusing on small chunks of time rather than the bigger picture. I can change my home environment but I can’t change the wider outcomes of this crisis so it helps to distract myself with tasks that make me feel useful, like I’ve accomplished something.
Can anyone offer some tips for how they are managing to keep well?

I've been trying to make sure I do some stretching everyday, working from home means I seem to not move about as much.

Hi, I'm finding the suggestions in the COVID-19 thread really helpful: https://likemind.nhs.uk/forum/topics/covid-19 Especially about keeping to a routine, getting outside every now and then, connecting with people, and not watching the news too much! I like your suggestion about taking it one day at a time and doing things to make you feel like you've accomplished something, however small :)
