Importantly, Lara is a resident of New York and her mother is COVID-19 positive (over two weeks on a ventilator). Her teen son is struggling with anxiety related to the trauma. Lara shares how she and her family are coping and her recommendations for coping with anxiety.

Coping with Anxiety Self-Care Checklist

- Create a simple daily routine and schedule to follow (this can help minimize overthinking and hustle mindset when you aren’t doing enough).
- Limit media consumption (most all news, but especially COVID-19 news)
- Bond with family at home and distance (apps like Marco Polo, Facetime, Zoom)
- Create a self-care menu of activities you enjoy that can help relax you
- Sleep enough in the evening
- Get help if you need it. Talk to your doctor or find a psychologist. Telehealth sessions work to help you regulate emotion.
