It's hard to stay focused on anything that isn't your own anxiety at a time like this. Every attempt to disengage or take a break from the all-consuming panic and anxiety of not knowing feels like a leap, but one that drops me even further.

Some days are manageable. I fill my day by watching a film I've always wanted to watch, or reading a new book, or even just listening to music.

Those are okay days – it's safe to say a good day isn't really a possibility at the moment. Living with depression and anxiety will, on the best of days, leave me with pains in my chest as I worry about what will happen if I go outside.

During Quarantine, Be the Friend You Once Needed in Life With Chronic Illness
When I was in high school, I had to take almost all of my classes at home due to chronic illness. I spent a lot of time scared about my health and its unknowns, not knowing when or how my life could change next. Between my extended absence at school and my medical limitations, I very rarely saw my friends. The word “isolation” came up a lot. Now I am hearing it again on a daily basis — on TV, on social media, and in conversation. It brings me back to a past that I thought I had escaped.

The Most Important Advice for Parents to Encourage Math in Children Amid Lockdown
Not every child is born with skills to solve math equations and divide and multiply swiftly. Most of them struggle with calculations, algebra, and graphs. And the approach most parents take in pushing them toward the ability is through destructive and degrading feedback. Yes, math is an essential part of the world, and without this basic skill, no person can succeed in life. But there are better ways of infusing this mindset in children than by force.

How My Chronic Illness Diagnosis Led to a Battle With Anxiety
The shame long associated with anxiety and panic attacks is felt partly because of the stigma against mental health. We’re attacked for being strong and opening up about it publicly and defiantly. And many people tell us to get out of our heads — that it’s all mental. While there may be some truth in this, it’s a very difficult thing to control.

How the First 60 Minutes of My Day Save Me From Depression
I struggle with clinical depression, also referred to as major depressive disorder (MDD). I have dealt with a lot of mental trauma in my life, more than I would ever wish on even my worst enemy. I have a loving wife, three beautiful kids and even with all of that, I have had moments where lying in bed was far more comfortable than anything else I knew. I would sleep, sometimes for 12 to 14 hours a day, because my dreams were seemingly more interesting than real life.

How to Keep Your Kids Entertained During School Closures
This year has started with an unexpected twist. Typically for this time of year, the weather is getting warmer and the nights are lasting longer, but our doors and plans are remaining firmly shut and sealed. With the outbreak of Covid-19, the government has enforced social isolation to minimise the risk of spreading the virus. Some of us are working from home, schools have been shut, and we only leave the house for exercise or to shop for necessities. This is leading to a lot of free time for some of us!

You roll out your yoga mat in your living room, open your laptop, and Zoom into a yoga class with 20 unfamiliar faces sitting in Easy Pose. At the start of the session, the teacher asks the students in the Zoom room to share their intentions and hopes for the future, which are uncertain for many. At the end of class, the teacher humbly asks for donations via Venmo. You shrink inside, knowing your level of gratitude for the day’s practice won’t quite match your monetary offering.

5 Calming Activities to Help Kids Relieve Stress During COVID-19 Lockdown
Finding a sense of calm is likely difficult for kids right now, no matter their age. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, our world as we know it has halted.

How to ACE Your Days during Social Distancing
Many of us have been practice social distancing for well over a month at this point. We are spending long days in our homes and might be stuck in a rut by this point. The same routines could be getting boring, or we might be feeling increasingly burned out or even a little depressed. Whatever unique stressors we each face, there is a simple tool that can help us get more out of our days. The acronym is A.C.E., and each letter stands for Achievement, Closeness, and Enjoyment. These are three primary needs we each have, and they are useful to keep in mind when planning activities and for reflection at the end of each day or week. A simple goal would be to have at least one activity for each letter completed each day.
