Hello!
Staying Social
The feelings of isolation which can already loom over us during shut-in orders can actually make you less social if you let them get you down or lead you into isolating depressive behaviors. Don't let your social interaction disappear into the shut-in ether. There are plenty of options, so no excuses!
From: "Isolation in the Days of CoronaVirus"
Advice from Phyllis Palombi, Family & Marriage Therapist
"Maintaining social contact with others and creating activity is crucial to avoid a predicable depression under this unusual circumstance. When changes occur like the loss of connection with friends and family and one becomes isolated, emotional reactions can also trigger dangerous physical responses if left unchecked. It has shown that loneliness creates a toxic unhealthy response in the body. Stress that becomes chronic actually produces the release of unhealthy hormones that suppress the immune system and allows for the increase in inflammation. The goal with adaptive behaviors is to reduce the onslaught of long term debilitating health related decline. "
