Question
I’m just feeling blue lately.
user

That is understandable, things are very uncertain for a lot of people. Do you have specific things you are worried about or is it a general feeling of dysphoria?
assistant
Question
I’m worried about the pandemic mostly. I’m feeling anxious and alone.

Yes, the pandemic is a scary and unprecedented ongoing event that is hard to process. Have you been isolating for a long time?

I have. It’s been awhile since I have seen my family. I haven’t seen much of my friends either.

It's good that you're reaching out here for some support! Are you able to communicate with them via other means, text or Facetime/Zoom?

Affirmation and Reassurance
I do but it’s not the same. I’m just feeling lonely and sad. Watching these radicals and liberals is not helping me either.

Taking a social media and news break could be a good idea. Sometimes it gets to feeling like we have to keep reading about the horrors of the world or else we are not doing anything at all.

I like your advice. I’m definitely cutting back on the social media. It just adds to my anxiety and depression.

When I get anxious and overloaded by everything that's happening, I like to watch pottery videos. They're so soothing. And personally, I really like long baths and taking care of my skin. Being in water is physiologically calming, and having smooth skin makes me feel taken care of.

I try to stay engaged with my friends and family via text as much as I can. Even though it's not the same, it's something, and we have to maintain our connections.

Being alone is a tough situation, but you can take care of your brain and your heart by giving them a break from the chaos
