Last Minute Changes and Coronavirus

Misnamedhellion

How is everyone coping with all of the last minute changes that the coronavirus outbreak is causing? I am feeling very stressed because my work might close any day (we are a visitor attraction), and I might have to work from home. People have started cancelling plans, and events, and my routine is not consistent. Everything just seems very uncertain for the next few months, and I know that we're all in a similar position.

I understand that all of these things are necessary in order to protect the most vulnerable in society, but I'm find the uncertainty really difficult to cope with - its all a bit overwhelming Does anyone have any coping mechanisms that they would like to share for dealing with necessary changes?

Parents

  • I do two things everyday that make life worth living.  Go to the gym and then sit in the sauna at the gym.  Those two things keep me sane.  Those are the two things I will miss.  Tomorrow I start work on building my own gym and next week I will be buying a wood burning stove to help with the sauna issue.  I dont intend to completely isolate, in fact im planing on taking up walking and cycling once again, albeit on my own.  The next 3 months (and probably at least 3 months beyond that) are going to suck a lot.  I have pre-existing medical conditions so I will have to isolate with my parents.

    Besides that I have a gaming computer with a massive library of games I've never played.  I have lost myself in several games over the years.  Maybe its time to start exploring Far Cry 5, that could take me a couple of months, then maybe lay into the ethical hacking course ive been doing for the last year or so.  Learn a new language possibly.

    But yes it sucks and its a struggle.  Maybe people will stop eating endangered animals in the future so we can avoid anymore plagues. :/

    It could be a difficult few months. Doing stuff on the computer is potentially interesting. I sometimes play Civilization 6 for hours on the Nintendo Switch. There's a lot of strategic depth in it.

    Cooking passes the time sometimes as well. If you keep looking up recipes online, there's always something new to learn or try. 

    I like walking too but stopped because of not having much space to store a bike. I'm going to try to find a walking partner where I live, I'm not always that keen on walking alone as strangers tend to want to talk more, which can be irritating if lots of them do it.
