- frustration
- sadness
- fatigue
- tension
- a sense of loss
- feelings of isolation and loneliness.
Tips to support your mental and emotional health
- Stay Connected: Keep in touch with trusted family and friends. If you can’t be with them in person, use phone or digital platforms. Check in on friends and community members who might also feel alone.
- Look After Your Physical Health: Eat healthy and get enough sleep. Practise meditation or deep breathing exercises to reduce stress.
- Be in Touch with Your Emotions: It’s ok to not be ok. Practise self-compassion and speak to yourself with kindness.
- Limit Social Media: Take breaks from social media to avoid comparing your experiences to others. Set boundaries to protect your mental health.
- Speak Out if You Need Help: If your efforts to manage stress aren’t enough, ask for help. Connect with support services and consider professional help.
