Mental health during the Coronavirus outbreak
Don’t be afraid to ask for help and advice during these difficult times
For some of us, life as we know it has changed beyond recognition over the past few weeks. Coronavirus (COVID-19) has led to a massive change, more uncertainty, and new challenges for many of us and it’s important we take time to think about our mental health during this time.
Government guidelines mean that more of us will be spending a lot of time at home and many of our regular social activities will no longer be available. It will help to try and see this as a different period of time in your life, and not necessarily a bad one - even if you didn’t choose it.
Try and keep in touch with your friends and family, by telephone, email or social media, but it’s equally important to consider muting or unfollowing accounts or hashtags that cause you to feel anxious.
Create a new daily routine that prioritises looking after yourself. You could try reading more or watching movies, having an exercise routine, trying new relaxation techniques, or finding new knowledge on the internet. Try and rest and view this as a new, if unusual, experience that might have its benefits.
There are many outlets if you need support and advice or guidance such as:
www.mentalhealth.org.uk www.mind.org.uk
www.samaritans.org.uk
These websites all offer useful advice and a range of content designed to manage our mental health and wellbeing, advice on finance, talking to children and relationship issues etc.
As an industry, there are many people we can reach out to including our Associations; BIGGA, IOG and your sport’s governing bodies for specific industry advice. Don’t be afraid to ask for help or advice.
