Dear 'Anxious about Health',
You are going through a tough phase in life and the losses you have faced would have been tough. Fear of losing your uncle and your health might be real and scary too. We will have to go through the present situation vigilantly.
Remember that Life and Death is in the hands of a God above. God has a plan for each and everyone of us.
Everyone around the world is facing the present scare for their health. Please try to reach out to your friends and share all that is in your thoughts. You need support and if there is no friend that you can speak freely with then do book yourself an appointment with a counseling psychologist who will listen to you and help you out.
With Regards,
Dr.Nisha James

Thinking positive thoughts instead of worrisome ones can help reduce anxiety. This can be challenging if you have certain types of anxiety, however. Cognitive behavioural therapy can teach you how to redirect your thoughts. Please contact the psychologist. ASAP.

You have seen a trauma of losing your dear ones, your uncle unfortunately is not in a good state of health and this pandemic has given rise to the fear of losing dear ones and at the same time giving one this impression that I might be the next to catch this virus so it is really too much for you to handle.Coping skills need to be enhanced
