You’re not alone. According to a recent Kaiser Family Foundation poll, nearly half of U.S. adults reported that their mental health has been negatively impacted due to worry and stress over COVID-19.

Positive lifestyle changes—like eating healthy, getting exercise, avoiding self-medicating with alcohol or drugs, and practicing relaxation techniques—may help you feel better. But sometimes, that’s not enough. 

These early warning signs indicate you might need help:

• Loss of interest in things you’ve always enjoyed
• Appetite or weight changes
• Sleep changes
• Anger or irritability
• Feeling overwhelmed by worry, sadness, or loneliness
• Loss of energy
• Difficulty focusing and making decisions
• Unexplained aches and pains

If any of this sounds like what you’re going through, we encourage you to talk with a therapist. Sometimes a few sessions are all you need to get back to feeling like yourself again.
