How are you coping emotionally right now? “Most people have a problematic relationship with change and this pandemic is change with the volume turned up”, says psychotherapist Julia Samuel. So what can you do to try and support yourself at the moment?

- I'm actually okay, it's like an awakening. I find others behaviour frustrating and dangerous - but above all I see the need for real change; In how we treat our neighbours, what we pay our 'frontline' - how others live in the UK and abroad..it's a real humanitarian wake up call

Well I live alone and haven’t seen actual person in 3.5 weeks. I’m now working from home and know that if something untoward were to happen the spyware from my employer monitoring my work output would be aware 😂

this type of support and attention would be lovely for those of us who are in isolation with M.E. for years and no one cares. meawarenesshour
