COVID-19: Where to Find Mental Health Support

The outbreak of covid-19 may be stressful for many people who suddenly found themselves locked at home with bad news everywhere about lockdown and infections.

Staying at home, you may feel bored, frustrated or lonely. You may also be low, worried or anxious, or concerned about your finances, your health or those close to you.

Remember, this situation is temporary and, for most of us, these feelings will pass.

The best thing you can do now is to look after your mental health. Don’s hesitate to seek help if you need it!

Muslim organizations continue to serve those needing help during the COVID-19 Pandemic.

One way to cope with stress and anxiety during #COVID19 is by dealing with your problems in a structured manner. Here are some steps on how to manage problems you may be experiencing. First, it is important to identify what might be causing your stress. Break this down into smaller parts so you don't feel so overwhelmed and determine what issues are most urgent and what can be addressed later. Next, brainstorm options that can help with the problem and list the pros and cons. It can be helpful to write things down and check them off as you complete them. This can make you feel like you're getting things done and avoid feelings of helplessness. You can then put your solution into practice and see how it works. If there is still something missing, adjust your solution and try again. Continue to make adjustments as your emotions and feelings change with the situation. Dealing with your problems can help alleviate anxiety and improve your mental well-being.
