I deal with anxiety and autism in Covid-19 and if Covid is teaching me one thing, it is that I need to regroup. I need to find a balance; a balance between my anxiety and what I have control over.
Mental Illness
There is no getting away with the fact that I deal with a mental illness. In fact, we may all deal with issues around our mental health. It is important to continue to work on balance and mental health.
No matter what is going on out there, we should focus on how we can come through the pandemic. Life isn’t a straight path, but as I have, I am sure you too have been through so many bumps already.
In recent days, I have personally felt less anxious, less challenged, and better for it. It takes me ten times the effort to show up. Where I am affected through autism and anxiety, I need to continue to focus and find ways through.
External Influences
Where we may find it difficult to hear about the external decisions, we should find a place for those decisions. I can work through through some of the bumps in the road to see the positive, but that depends on what those decisions are.
Through my intuition and in my personal life, I deal with the smaller things, so those things don't control me. It is important we continue to work on calm, so that we can be more at peace with ourselves. The pandemic has escaped no-one.
My 'Books'
As I retreat, I am able to strengthen my resolve and that strengthens my mental health around anxiety and autism, it is in those times that I have more confident days. My books continue to reign me in and keep me grounded. They can for you too.
My books deal with mental health. If you're looking for more info, or fancy grabbing your copy, check out this link – https://linktr.ee/Ilana_Estelle
No matter what you write about on your blog, you bring the truth not only on what you deal with, but for others too. Anxiety isn't easy to deal with, made harder when it comes to relying on others, whose job it is to protect us.
I am sure today will be a turning point for you, given what has happened with the UK PM today. I am also sure as I can be, what has happened is also the reason for my lack of sleep these past two years.
I like you now, will be hoping for a brighter tomorrow.
Thanks, yes. Your observations are spot on. I was watching Panorama tonight (a documentary in the UK that uncovers political truth) and as I watched, I felt my anxiety dissipate.
I hope we can all sleep better tonight.
