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?

  • Things that I find help are to make sure that my personal timetable is up to date according to current events, and whereas it used to be possible to plan in advance, now shortening the time frame to the next week or even just the next day, but still timetabling it and planning meals and finances etc. Sticking to a routine is very helpful, having the same time for waking up and mealtimes etc. Also, I find it helps to do a regular brainstorm of all of the things that I can possibly think of that might help in any small way, and then scheduling those in and doing them, as all you can do is 'all you can do' and it is very helpful for peace of mind.
