Tips for coping with anxiety about change

Prioritise yourself. It’s okay if you aren’t being as productive as you usually might be. Change is tiring and draining, so if you feel like you need to sleep in an extra few hours or watch your favourite film for the millionth time, then it’s okay to do that.

You don’t need to push yourself at the moment. These aren’t normal circumstances, so you don’t have to act as if everything is fine if it’s not. Show yourself some kindness, do things that makes you feel comfortable and safe. It can be difficult to do that sometimes, but it’ll help you in the long run. Self-care is not a waste of time – it’s very important. You are very important. All you can do is your best.
