Holy – what words can I use here that will not offend anyone! Holy guacamole. Holy heck.\u00a0 H E Double Toothpicks as we used to say when I went to grade school in the south.<\/p>\n
This sucks. The Coronavirus isolation simply sucks for those of us who need human contact to better manage our moods.<\/p>\n
If you are struggling, you’re normal. I am struggling and I have a good management plan in place. I am thinking of what it’s like for people newly diagnosed with bipolar or those who have OCD or high anxiety at the best of times!<\/p>\n
These are not good times for any of us with mental health disorders, so let’s do something about it today.<\/p>\n
If you are isolating, make a call. I don’t care who you call, just call someone. I have to force myself to do this as well. Depression makes me isolate. <\/a><\/p>\n CRAP!<\/p>\n If you’re sleeping is off,<\/a> let’s get it back on track. NOW. The #1 way to make yourself more ill and this means being sick when the darn isolation is finally over is to get off a regular sleep schedule. You can get back on track now so that you won’t be in HELL in a few months. Please. If there is one thing you do during quarantine to help yourself stay table, it is managing sleep. We can do this.<\/p>\n If you have Get it Done When You’re Depressed<\/a>, now is a GREAT time to get it out and choose the strategies that best fit your situation. I’ve been using it since day one of coronavirus quarantine.<\/p>\n
