What can I do to feel less stressed during challenging times?
Many things in your day-to-day can affect your mental health and cause anxiety or stress. There are ways to cope even in the worst of times and manage some of that stress.
Here are some things you can put into practice right away:
Practice activities that helped you cope with stress in the past.
Set realistic expectations and keep busy with things you enjoy.
Avoid using alcohol or drugs, excessive food consumption, and other extreme, harmful, choices as a substitute to make you feel good.
Practice gratitude, mindfulness, and meditation.
Stay connected to your friends and family.
Connect with your spiritual community to practice your religion.
If you have children, it isn’t just your own health that you must worry about; it is also your children’s health. With small children it is hard to tell sometimes if they are experiencing stress because they are less likely to vocalize their feelings. There are other ways to detect if a child is feeling anxious. Pay attention by observing changes in their behaviour. Things like sudden changes in mood, appetite, or sleep patterns could be signs of underlying feelings of anxiety.
Call a crisis centre or mental wellness association if:
You are considering suicide (killing yourself).
You think someone else might be considering suicide. You just need to talk.
心理健康
在充滿挑戰的時期，我能做些什麼來減輕壓力？
您日常生活中的許多事情都會影響您的心理健康，並引起焦慮或壓力。特別是在這些時期。即使在最糟糕的時期，也有辦法應對並管理一些壓力。
以下是您可以立即付諸實踐的一些操作：
練習過去幫助你應對壓力的活動。
設定切合實際的期望，並忙於你喜歡的事情。
避免使用酒精或毒品，過量食用食物等極端的，有害的選擇，作為替代品，讓你感覺良好。
練習感恩，默想能帶來正能量。
與您的朋友和家人保持聯繫。
與您的社區建立聯繫，實踐您的宗教信仰。
如果你有孩子，你必須関注的不僅僅是你自己的健康，也是你孩子的健康。對於年幼的孩子，有時很難判斷他們是否正在經歷壓力，因為他們不太可能表達自己的感受。還有其他方法可以檢測孩子是否感到焦慮。通過觀察他們行為的變化來注意。情緒、食慾或睡眠模式的突然變化可能是潛在焦慮感的跡象。
如果出現以下情況，請致電危機中心或心理健康協會：
你正在考慮自殺（自殺）。
你認為其他人可能正在考慮自殺。
你需要與別人談話。
