Self-care tips
Some people may use unhealthy ways to cope with anxiety or stress related to COVID-19. This can include misuse of alcohol or drugs. Some people may avoid interacting with people or focus on only one activity, such as work. Others may be more sedentary. These ways of coping may make symptoms worse over time or create new issues.
Self-care actions can help you manage all kinds of stress in your life. Examples are getting enough sleep, building healthy social support, taking part in physical activity and using relaxation methods. These actions can help manage stress and encourage resilience, especially during challenging times.
