10 Sneaky Ways Your Coronavirus Anxiety Is Coming Out
Huff PostLOADING ERROR LOADING It's been one year since the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a pandemic. “Good old fashioned ‘run of the mill’ anxiety is often manifested in ways people don’t associate with anxiety,” said Forrest Talley, a psychologist based in Folsom, California. For example, “some people will find themselves inclined to exercise more ― a really healthy way to modulate anxiety ― but simply chalk up their newfound workout intensity to having more time,” Talley said. “Seeing and/or hearing the other person provides a connection that’s more personal and nurturing.” Talley also attributed this symptom to people withdrawing from their support system due to anxiety. Even if you don’t have a diagnosed mood disorder or mental illness, those cortisol levels can contribute to mood swings or “feeling like you’re on a mood roller coaster,” Wright said.
