Hi good day. Thanks for reaching out here for help. Try to be positive. Avoid obsessing over endless coronavirus coverage. Stay close to your normal routine. If you work from home, it could be tempting to fall into a more lethargic lifestyle, which could lead to negative thinking. Wake up and go to bed around the same time, eat meals, shower, adapt your exercise regimen. Doing one productive thing per day can lead to a more positive attitude. Cognitive behavioral therapy (cbt) is the most effective form of psychotherapy for�anxiety disorders. Generally a short-term treatment, cbt focuses on teaching you specific skills to improve your symptoms and gradually return to the activities you've avoided because of�anxiety. For further assistance feel free to reach me online or through Lybrate chat.

Hello lybrate-user first of all stop thinking too much about corona, do get information about disease only from authentic site. Avoid watching news or update about it before sleeping or after getting up. Take update just once or maximum twice a day. Take all the precautions like social distancing, wearing mask, washing hand regular which will decrease the probability of getting infection. To mask your anxiety start practicing mindfullness exercises, deep breathing exercises.
