Pessimism from coronavirus

NAS66711

Coronavirus is affecting the population at such a huge impact. Countries including the UK are struggling to fight the pandemic and I am upset as a result of the lockdown and restrictive measures meaning that the way of life that we took for granted prior to the outbreak will disappear for all eternity. I have feared that lockdown measures and social distancing could last forever and the world economy could crash meaning poverty will be widespread across the globe and we will be living with the coronavirus as an endemic as I am worried there will be no cure for this new disease. We could be saying goodbye to pubs and travelling as a result of the pandemic. I am autistic and have suffered depression as a result from bad news as I have had such high expectations in life.

  • Whilst I can’t offer any reassurances as such about the outcome of coronavirus (because I don’t like trading in anything but fact) what I can say is that no matter how dire the global situation gets there are always positives and bits of hood news, and sometimes the best thing to do is cling to those positives and let them fuel you. If you are feeling low and would like a chat just drop me a message, in happy to try and help :)

    I was just trying to think of some advice and Anthony's put it really well. To add to the bit about good news, a friend bought me 'The Happy Newspaper' when I was feeling very low, and I did find it was nice to go and look at when I was struggling.

    I think the best we can do at the moment is just focus on the things we can control (e.g. following government advice) and take care of ourselves as best we can.
