Quarantine Survival

Good morning fellow friends. Today will be Thursday and right before that, I will like to wish a Happy Wesak Day to my Buddhism friends out there. As you guys know I am back with another blog today. We are still in the same circle which is, Lockdown, but the Malaysian Government has decided to set free for this lockdown at the moment starting May 4. Eventhough it has been set free, still some of us are under the pressure, but do you know what it is? Some of you are not able to say if you are mentally affected or not, therefore today's blog will be there to support your questions. I'm here to share with all of you about the "6 Signs Your Mental Health Is Being Affected By The Quarantine"

Let's dive into it:🤗

{1} You feel great loneliness

     • You are lack of physical intimacy

     * It's not wrong to be lonely for a moment, but do not include that as an activity. Try to find help

{2} You experience symptoms of anxiety

     • Reading news about death and Covid-19, may increase paranoia

     •Take sometime to manage your news intake

      * Every genre of news needs break

{3} You are demotivated and don't feel like doing anything productive 

     • Forcing to do a productive thing is not going to mend your mental health

     • Start small by tidying up your room

     • Create a to-do list

     • Be motivated by someone

{4} You are exhausted by your emotional quota

     • Having low moods for a long period of time can lead to sadness, so avoid it

     • Mitigate your blue feelings by keeping yourself occupied with healthy actions

     • Cheer yourself, "I'm fine"

{5} There is an increased use of substance

      • It can trigger feelings of depression and hopelessness

     • Engage in healthy and relaxing activities to keep your stress at bay

     • Reduce caffeine drinks, coffee or tea and avoid alcohol

{6} You are not getting enough sleep

       • Sleeping in mid-morning and getting up in the afternoon, disturbs your sleeping pattern

      *Research says that prolonged insomnia can lead to mood irritability, depression, as well as physical health defects. 

Well this is my help for those of you who really need help during this horrible pandemic. I would like to say that start your day with something positive, therefore it gives a better result for the rest of your day. Stay strong and healthy. Let's hope for the best. Thank you for reading this till the end and I really will appreciate if you guys read this, share it with your beloved one's and leave a comment down. Have a nice day.
