Reach out by phone to the people who love you and share your fears. Keep exercising and keep moving - get out there and do something, even if your normal routine is upset. Stay mindful and be aware of what you are focusing on; don’t focus on the negativity or what you’ve lost, but focus instead on the positive or something neutral. Use gratitude. If you meditate or pray, this is the time to do it. If not, why not try it in your free time? Remember you can control your mind. Seek out online counseling if you need a professional counselor.
