It's easy to give someone else grace when you care deeply about them—so make the effort to treat yourself with the same patience and respect. "for many, spending so much time alone without the typical distractions of life pre-pandemic means coming face to face with yourself and your emotions in a very new way (maybe for the first time)," says jessica serber, l. M. F. T. , a licensed marriage and family therapist at mindful cbt california. "if you're feeling the effects of [quarantine] emotionally and struggling with the isolation, you are not alone, and your feelings are so, so valid. " (more here: how to deal with loneliness and isolation during covid-19 ).

1. Reach out to friends and family.

As we all work to meet our needs around the limitations of social isolation, we may be tempted to indulge in an extra drink (or other things) a little more often than usual. After all, we don’t have to drive, right? but really, do we want to totally wreck our health? make sure you aren’t just alleviating boredom or dealing with this situation by adopting unhealthy coping mechanisms with alcohol, tobacco or other things including drugs. Reach out to friends and/or family more often if you fear you’re falling into unhealthy behaviors. Socializing might be an unexpected cure to problematic choices brought on by the doldrums. The last thing any of us want to do is find ourselves in rehab once all this is over.

Reach out to isolated friends, neighbors, and family members on a regular basis. Set up a scheduled time for you to check in with them daily or several times a week. This reduces the risk of depression and loneliness that social distancing and shelter-in-place orders may engender.

I’m in a sticky dating situation myself. Similar to saunders, i went on a first date with a hinge match in early march. In a twisted trick of fate, this was the best first date i’d been on since moving to the city eight months ago. During those first two weeks of knowing each other, we went on six fun and romantic dates. Things were moving fast, but then quarantine brought everything to a screeching halt. I flew home to iowa to be with my family, and he stayed in n. Y. C. Now, five weeks later, we’re still talking every day, but it isn’t easy. To avoid falling into the “what’re you up to?” and “nothing much” texting cycle, we’ve been facetiming, and, as as result, this guy has seen me in glasses, no makeup, and sweats much sooner than he would have if we were still able to go on irl dates. This expedited vulnerability has made us bond faster than we probably would have had we still been in the thick of our busy everyday lives. After all, if he’s into me while i’m wearing a tattered hoodie and haven’t washed my hair in three days (and if i feel comfortable rolling up to our facetime date like that), that’s a good sign.
