Hello, Diabetes and stress are known to be codependent on each other....so our goal should be to limit both of them. While for diabetes there are multiple options available for managing it,i.e, diet,carbohydrate restriction, physical exercise, healthy lifestyle etc,for stress two things matter the most- managing the stress by reducing trigger points and including activities like Yoga, Mindfulness, Meditation to enable yourself to dissociate from regular negative thoughts.  As far the Covid19 situation is concerned, it is completely understandable to feel anxiety.....after all it has brought too much uncertainty in our life....in every aspect of it. One of the ways to deal with this anxiety is to be prepared ....medically,financially and socially.  Try to practice the required safety measures, limit contact points with others, if required, take up insurance coverage for COVID19. The more prepared you are, the less uncertain you will feel....thus your stress will reduce. Try to set small goals for short term basis, see if achieving them is being possible....increase your limits slowly and gradually, keep your body active, try to follow a daily routine and above all, check on your diabetes regularly....just to be safe. Above all, I would also recrecommend to connect with a counselor or psychologist, may be once in a week or 10 days, to have a fresh perspective on your experiences.....which will help you to deal with your stress better and also to develop healthy coping mechanisms. Wish you all the best !

I would encourage you to connect with a psychologist or counselor regarding stress management

Remember, Situations always seem worse than they truly are, so ,if prepared, life might not turn out as difficult in future as it seems today.

I understand your predicament and would like to make a few suggestions that might help you. I want you to know that with awareness of how the mind works and how thoughts are generated, you will get better at dealing with them. Today, the mind is fixated on something. Tomorrow it could be obsessed about another person/event/topic. Understanding the nature of the mind and how thoughts are generated will help you deal with them. The nature of the Mind, which in simple terms we experience as thoughts, is such that, it will keep shifting its focus from one object/topic/event to another. Ii always needs something to hold on to. Another important characteristic of the Mind is this - You will either have thoughts about the past or the future. This will keep alternating. Try thinking about the present moment - you will see that the Mind and 'Now' can never coexist. The Mind has 3 states in general. Sometimes, you may find yourself having very positive, inspiring thoughts. During other times, you may find yourself very emotional, or all charged for action. Whereas during other times, you may feel very lethargic, dull or lazy. These states will keep alternating. Having understood the nature of the mind, the first step towards mental health is to become aware of your thoughts. Learning to be an observer of your thoughts, learning to observe them from a distance like clouds passing in the sky. The next step is knowing that you have the power to choose which thought you wish to focus on and act on and exercising that power. With practice, you will have better mastery over this process. Having negative thoughts is something that plagues everybody from time to time. Trust me, even if everything was perfect, you will still find some shortcomings somewhere and brood about it. Tension or anxiety is a physiological response which is again part of being human. It is normal to have such thoughts about any situation. As mentioned above, with practice, you will learn to focus and entertain only those thoughts are healthy enough to be acted upon. Whenever you feel overwhelmed by thoughts, just bring your focus back to your breath and take a few relaxing breaths. You will automatically be able to focus on the task at hand and do what is required. Whatever you feed your mind through your sense organs will be replayed to you as thoughts. Be conscious of this. Take care of the content you feed your mind - the kind of books you read, the websites you visit, the kind of music you listen to, the kind of food you eat, the kind of company you keep ( "You are an average of five people you spend most of your time with" ) Ask yourself : Where would I like to see myself ten years from now? What should I do today to reach there ten years from now? What would I do if I knew I wouldn't fail? What would I do if I weren't afraid? No matter how impossible the answers might seem, I want you to know that you can and will make them possible. Take the first step. The rest will follow. A beautiful future awaits you. Take ownership of every time, take responsibility for it and confidently work towards your dreams and aspirations. One day you will thank these dark moments for being the fuel for your success. Please set aside time for exercise daily and make sure you eat healthy every time. Our challenges that seem to threaten our very existence are the ones that serve as fuel for our evolution. Have faith in yourself. You are capable of dealing with this. You are going to do just fine. Take care.
