How to Stop Isolation damaging your mental health
If you have already been struggling with your mental health before things started going crazy then chances are you are used to living in isolation. Most people will probably not hesitate to tell you so along with multiple memes of the same story. But there is something different about this. When it was optional it was ok you had something to work towards. Like ok tomorrow I will feel well enough to go the park, or out to dinner, or the movies. None of those are options anymore. For most people particularly those with anxiety the cap on it all was the state of the rest of the world. While the world was functioning ok freak outs were limited to things like “OMG did that wave look weird?” “Did I remember to lock the door?” Without being able to calm yourself and let yourself know the worries while very real to you were able to be controlled. Now that the entire world is in a perpetual state of worry you are likely finding that your own has peaked above that. Besides now that everyone is anxious they don’t understand how crippling your condition can be. Sound like you or someone you know? Here are some tips to help yourself through these times.

10 Things I'm Putting in My COVID-19 'Crisis Kit'
Creating a crisis kit is one of my favorite therapeutic techniques to help protect my mental and physical health. My personal crisis kit has been a lifesaver on many occasions, and I still keep it out openly in my house so that I can use it whenever I feel like my mental or physical health is declining. Creating a crisis kit itself, however, can be anxiety-inducing, so please take care of yourself as you read through this article and contemplate creating or modifying your personal crisis kit.

A PSA about COVID19
In the times we are in, it is understandable to be scared. And the fear can cause you to do irrational things such as hoarding toilet paper and not food, or to be bored of staying inside and to simply just go out and “defy” the government because who are they to tell you what to do?

Keep Yourself Sane
I know everyone is on edge since the first signs of COVID-19 but now we see it everywhere. Instagram, Facebook, Google, Grocery stores, Everywhere. Although we have to tolerate it you shouldn't let the virus scare you, yes it can be scary but as long as you and your family stay clean during this time it can help reduce your chances of gaining the disease. Yes the disease can spread either way but reducing it lowers your chances so please be precautious during this time. I know most places are closed during this time and you are lonely or your family is driving you insane, but you can still take care of yourself during this time.

In the Face of the Corona Virus
I am not in qaurantine, and I do not have the virus. However like many, I am going out of my mind with boredom. Normally I am doing therapy for my mental health outdoors, but all the places I use including leisure centers are shut. I also have a condition that means I have to socially distance myself. This is really difficult, because in the thrall of severe mental health problems many years ago, it took me a long time to socialize again, and isolation became my best friend until I learned that my world was safe to go outside again. Recently I was restricting myself to visiting shops and going shopping in the car, but now I find myself bound to my home and my garden for quite some time so that I can protect myself from the Corona Virus. In fact it is crucially important as I am in the early stages of pregnancy and I have a health problem which makes me vulnerable. It was Mothersday yesterday, and my Mum is distancing herself because of her own condition. Its not where any of us chose to be, but it is really important to protect ourselves and others, particularly those who are vulnerable from the virus, which as we know, kills people too. However, it doesn't mean that we all become hermits, it means we stay safe and protect others who may be extremely vulnerable too.

What The Fuck is Wrong With People?
Ok, what the fuck is going on? People have taken leave of their senses. Their good senses that allow them to treat all of humanity with respect or at least civility. That flew out the window in the past two weeks. I have seen people's behavior get exponentially worse as the days go by and America finds more and more cases of coronavirus, but really...what the fuck?
