I wanted to give information about the reflections of the pandemic, which currently covers the whole world, on our psychology. The emotion that affects all of us the most during this period is probably anxiety. Illness anxiety causes us to change our entire routine during this period and drags us into great anxiety. So how do our anxiety levels affect our lives?
️In fact, anxiety makes this period functional. A reasonable level of anxiety can be described as healthy for this period. Thanks to our concerns, we protect ourselves and our environment by taking the necessary precautions and precautions (complying with hygiene rules, social distance, etc.).
During such an epidemic period, 'nothing will happen to me' ' thought and not being concerned about the epidemic may present us with a more frightening picture. These thoughts bring about not taking precautions and precautions.
️So, what does anxiety that is more than it should be cause us to experience? During these periods, thoughts that contain excessive anxiety, such as "What will I do if I get sick?" cause dysfunction in individuals. Individuals who have difficulty coping with negative emotions and thoughts may experience intense mental depression and skip the necessary precautions.
️The most important step in taking our anxiety under control is to use accurate and useful information. The best way to get rid of the thoughts that cause us anxiety and the uncertainties in our minds is to get accurate information from experts in their field. Reducing the intense, uncertain thoughts in our minds that tire us out will also reduce the level of anxiety. Additionally, during this period, the support of our loved ones and devoting time to the activities we are happy to do will make us stronger.

QUARANTINE PSYCHOLOGY
The most depressing situation that the Covid-19 epidemic has brought to us has undoubtedly been the quarantine period. For too long, going out has been limited and anxious. This situation, of course, affects us significantly physiologically and psychologically.
Human is a social being by nature and the world It is a whole with. We all have certain orders and routines in life. These make our future certain and distract us from anxiety. However, during the epidemic period, our order and routines had to change, our home became our world, and the cycle we considered normal changed, causing us anxiety.
There is usually certainty in humans. The next day, the week, etc. Planning is an activity that relaxes our mind. However, the intense uncertainty in this period tires us spiritually and emotionally. This uncertainty brings with it a feeling of helplessness, depression and fatigue. So what should we do to deal with these emotions?
First of all, we must reveal the emotions we feel and accept our feelings. We need to tell ourselves that the ups and downs brought about by the emotions we feel are normal and that this process is temporary. We must create new routines for ourselves and belong to a certain order, even if it is limited to the house. In this way, our anxiety level will reach normal levels.
We are going through a very advantageous period to get to know ourselves and increase our awareness. Finding activities that make us happy and feel good during this period will positively affect our quarantine process.
We must not forget that this situation we are in is a temporary process that involves the whole world. It is in our hands to keep this process healthy and under control.
