Re: Covid-19: Supporting each other through times of change
- Share how you are feeling right now
I'm having big trauma responses- fight flight and collapse, and repeat. I'm finding it really hard to stay grounded. I am trying to recover from an eating disorder, but it is not ideal circumstances and I feel I have failed or am blowing my chance. This is probably the biggest concern in my life right now.
- Talk about the impact covid-19 has had on your life in the last month
I thought "OK it's 2021 I'm getting on with life", I had planned my life around an eating disorders recovery program. I had scaled back employment and was focusing on increasing connection to community and looking after myself. Then this lockdown hit. I wrote an op-ed piece for SBS today, I hope they publish it but I wrote about how recovery is supposed to be more than biological and psychological treatments, but building social conditions and a life worth living. Lockdown threatens that.
- Share tips, ideas and strategies for coping with change and restrictions
I'm not sure what I can share here because I don't feel in any way I could be a role model for dealing with change haha. I am trying Wim Hof's crazy breathing exercises to reduce my trauma responses, anyone else giving this a go?
- Support others who are seeking help
Would love to chat more to people on here who understand mental health. I don't tell the majority of people I interact with about my challenges.
