This two-part series details a personal experiment started just before Covid-19 hit, and curiously addresses the same issues of isolation, of changing input patterns, that we now face with the pandemic, only from a voluntary and more upbeat perspective.

Part One explains how, stressed and tired by the constant bombardment of electronic information, I began a week of total cut-off from all electronic media and communications gear this past January.

I pick up the narrative on Day 4: Day 4: Two failures in my attempt to cut off all electronic communication. I wrote seven letters by hand, one of them to my son, but could not find his address at college.

To COVID-19 Frontline Workers, From a Therapist Who Is Ready to Support You
Last week, a top ER doctor at a Manhattan hospital, Dr. Lorna M. Breen, died by suicide. Dr. Breen had been on the front lines of the coronavirus pandemic and treated many patients at the Manhattan hospital. Dr. Breen had also contracted and recovered from the virus herself. Dr. Breen’s suicide was an unfortunate wake-up call, particularly for mental health professionals. It begs the question — what are we doing, and what do we plan to do, to take care of the mental health of our frontline and essential workers?

I’m Not ‘Selfish’ for Talking About How COVID-19 Is Affecting My Mental Health
At this point (late April), many regions are several weeks into stay-at-home orders, workplace and school closures and other efforts to stop the spread of the novel coronavirus, the new viral strain in the coronavirus family that affects the lungs and respiratory system. At a time when we have no vaccine or antiviral, limited testing capacity and many unknowns about the properties of this virus, these measures are our best weapon, and global data is showing they are working to slow the spread.

Where to Find Resources on COVID-19 and Your Rare Disease
If you have a rare disease, the COVID-19 pandemic can come with extra risks and challenges. From immunosuppressant medications, getting in touch with specialists and different pharmacies, as well as information overload, it can be overwhelming. When I read the news, most of the guidance aimed at the public is so general; I wonder when it applies to me and when it’s not enough to stay safe.

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. It’s been replaced by what seems like one long, continuous day where there are few happenings that distinguish today from yesterday. It is disconcerting, to say the least. For children and teens, who typically find comfort in normalcy and routines, today’s upended society is even more jarring. Stress is inevitable right now, but there are ways to address it. Here are some therapeutic and calming activities for children and teens.

How the COVID-19 Quarantine Is Helping My Son With Autism Develop Life Skills
When the quarantine first started, I spent the first week trying to replicate what my son Dominic, who is on the autism spectrum, did at school on a daily basis. Unfortunately, he had a seizure that Friday, March 20. The next week, I let him do whatever he wanted because I had a huge case of mom “guilt” that I had caused it somehow. Secretly, in the back of my mind, I was hoping the quarantine would last two weeks and things could go back to the way they were. As we all know, that hasn’t happened yet.

What COVID-19 Has Taught Me About Mental Health Recovery
Quarantine has been pretty detrimental to my mental health to say the least. For the last year, I’ve been working. That doesn’t sound like much, but for me, that’s huge. Just months prior to starting that job, my mental health was in the worst shape it had ever been in. My mental health was in such a bad place that it frequently took a toll on my overall physical health: constant stomach trouble, fatigue, heart palpitations, weight loss, etc. My point being, I didn’t think I’d ever be “functioning.” I didn’t believe I was capable of living a “normal” life.

The Wonders of Self-Compassion Amidst the COVID-19 Pandemic
Self-compassion is a powerful yet often under-used and under-appreciated tool. With the COVID-19 pandemic going on, we need to take the time to care for our emotional wellbeing. Doing this can even enable us to help others better. Self-compassion can motivate us internally and allow us to show compassion to others externally.

I watched the shoppers entering and exiting the store. Once I saw others go in with their mask on, I felt a little bit better. I am protecting others by wearing one, so why does it feel so uncomfortable?

Reviving Hygge for COVID-19
Around 2016, the concept of hygge exploded in American culture. Pronounced HOO-ga, this Danish term translates most concisely into “coziness,” but it has also been described as “a quality of coziness and comfortable conviviality that engenders a feeling of contentment or well-being” and “the absence of anything unpleasant.” Several years ago, hygge was suddenly everywhere: It was the topic of at least eight books, a documentary film, a design shop, and more.

I've Felt Calm Through COVID-19, but Had a Panic Attack Out of the Blue
Since getting on medication long term, I stopped having panic attacks. However, when I got a new boss, who actually caused a co-worker of mine who had never had panic attacks before to have them, I had them again. They stopped again when I left that job. I had not had one in at least over six months until I had one recently, and I still have no idea what caused it. I have been surprisingly calm during the current coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, caused by the new viral strain in the coronavirus family that affects the lungs and respiratory system.

Homeschooling driving you crazy? Turn Chores into Lessons
When my children were of school age and I made extended overseas trips each year, they travelled with me, often being out of school for as long as two months at a time. At first, I would try to follow the prescribed curriculum sent home by their teachers, but I soon realized that it was neither practical nor necessary to hand my child sheets to fill in or have them read books about things they weren’t experiencing.

Stop Wasting Time During COVID-19
Like many other people, since COVID-19 began, you might have suddenly found yourself with infinitely more time on your hands than you ever had before.1 The factors leading to this situation are myriad: You may have been unexpectedly let go and spend the 8 to 12 hours a day you would have kept yourself distracted from being upset by working now thinking about the time you were unexpectedly let go. Also, you get to try to pay your bills without a stable source of income. Maybe, rather, you have a job you can luckily do from home and have actually been relieved not to commute to work each day. But you are reconsidering that position after your partner and kids have slowly driven you mad by Day 32 of being with them all... the... time.

COVID-19 Is a War, Not a Vacation
There is a lot of messaging that now is the perfect time to try a new hobby or catch up on those home improvement tasks you have on your to-do list and that somehow it is possible to “make good use” of our time during COVID lockdowns. That is not at all the case. We are not on vacation. From a psychological perspective, it’s more like the London Blitz. We are all under a tremendous amount of threat from a source we can’t control and can’t predict. That threat might be concern about our own health, the health of friends or loved ones, financial implications of lockdowns, or just the stress of living in lockdown with partners and kids constantly underfoot.
