Feeling anxious and lonely during this Covid19 outbreak?

[shieldflink]

Hey guys,

How is everyone? I dont know if I could share this here - I just wanted to breath a little.

I hope all is going well with you guys. I, myself don't feel good, I begin to ruminate things when this Covid19 started, especially during lockdown. I have this feeling that it is unsafe to go out, thinking what if the person I meet is infected, what if the places I go is contaminated. I also feel it is unsafe to have the vaccine even it is approved and rolled-out to the public. I am really worried of what will happen tomorrow. How can we survive all of these things?

I do smile and laugh,...but deep inside I have this anxiety if we ever gonna be real safe...

Did you also feel the same way?

Mortality rate for COVID-19 is 0.28% (ie 23k die out of 8.4M infected). So even if you catch it, the probability of surviving it out is 99.72%. So there's nothing to be anxious about. Media is spreading panic just to highlight the importance of following SOPs since our public is very hard to convince. Relax and chill out.

It's been months since I practiced doing things in isolation and as time goes by, being anxious about different things has been growing slowly in me until now that I've felt the need to let everybody know my struggles. Maybe I'm just overstressing myself with this situation we have as I'm aware that there are other people in the world now who are having it worse than me.
A friend suggested that I should listen to delta waves on youtube to calm my mind, so far, it's doing well to keep me at peace when I listen.

I agree to that. And I also read in a page a related article (https://adaa.org/learn-from-us/from...top-ten-covid-19-anxiety-reduction-strategies) to follow media distancing to avoid fake news that is causing stress and anxiety to us. Social Media consumes almost all of us and that is not good at all.

Is that reason why people in the western side of the world don't care about social distancing and wearing masks because they knew that the media only inflates Covid news?

Im not sure of that, I guess it is overuse of freedom (sad to say)

i'd say feeling a little anxious in such a situation is normal. If you keep caution, odds are in your favor that you'll be just fine.
Pick a hobby to keep yourself indulged in. You know, pick a game or go on a long TV show binge and stay strong. It'll be over eventually.

Keeping busy with more healthier things means less stress and less worry. Watching a TV show is just fine, just dont indulge on news - it is sickening.

I am sincerely praying that this will be over. I am also apprehensive about the vaccine ;(

Yes, I felt the same way. Try listening to more positivity rather than news and playing multiplayer games with your friends to ditch loneliness.

I deleted my FB account a while back. I don't use a smartphone, have a nokia 1280. And I don't watch TV or news on the internet. Do these things and read Quran with Tafseer daily a page or two, look up some hadiths daily when you wake up, pray 5 times a day and avoid putting too much trust and hope on wordly resources. Believe in Allah SWT you're gonna be happy xDDD

Personally I think this covid thing was a blessing for me. I changed, like a lot. Now I don't wanna sound so insensitive because people are dying. But still. All this gave me a chance to just sit back home (although that's what I was doing before that anyways) and observe the whole world critically and see how worthless this whole world is.

Truly said that this world doesn't even have value equal to a mosquito's wing.

Take a walk or stroll with a bike. Eat healthy foods. And appreciate nature. This will bring positive vibes.

Wasn't expecting that reaction xD I was expecting the same old ignore the religious guy/post or just tell him to chill up kinda mood here xD

Anyways, glad you liked it. I pray that Allah SWT grant us firm faith and give us Taufeeq to be inclined away from everything else except Allah SWT Himself. Aameen.
