If you still feel worried about the coronavirus despite taking precautions, you may find it helpful to talk through your worries. Reach out to a friend or family member and talk to them about how you’re feeling. You might find that you both feel better after having a conversation about it!  Avoid talking to anyone who is panicking about the virus or spreading inaccurate, sensationalized information. Talk to someone calm who can help you work through your concerns in a realistic, level-headed way. Say something like, “Dad, I just can’t stop worrying about this coronavirus thing. Do you have time to chat about it?” Stress-reducing exercises and activities can help you feel calmer and more in control of your feelings when you’re worried about something. They can also help take your mind off your fears. When you start to feel anxious about the coronavirus, try doing something that helps you feel calm and peaceful, such as:  Meditating Doing yoga Going for a walk or jog Spending time with friends and family Reading a book or watching a fun TV show Working on a hobby or creative project Putting your worries into words can help you understand them better and make them feel less overwhelming. Jot down your thoughts about the coronavirus in a journal, notebook, or computer document. Don’t judge your thoughts and feelings—just write them down. For example, you might write down something like, “I keep thinking about that news story I read about the coronavirus this morning, and I feel scared. I’m afraid it might spread to my town.” It may seem counterintuitive, but anxiety experts say that imagining your worst fears can help them feel more manageable. Write down the worst coronavirus-related scenario you can think of, or say it out loud and record it on your phone. Read it or play it back to yourself. You’ll soon start to realize that this scenario is less likely than you may have thought (and therefore less scary). For example, you might say something like, “I’m scared that someone with coronavirus will come to my school and infect everyone, and we’ll all end up severely ill.” If you just can’t let go of your anxiety about the coronavirus, a counselor or therapist can help. They can teach you coping strategies to deal with your fears in a healthy way or even prescribe medications to reduce your overall anxiety. Reach out to a counselor or ask your doctor to recommend someone. You may need additional help if:  Your worries are starting to interfere with your ability to work, sleep, or interact with others You have intrusive or obsessive thoughts about the coronavirus You have fears about symptoms you’re experiencing that don’t get better even if a doctor reassures you that you don’t have coronavirus
