SINGAPORE - Friends call extroverted medical student Katelyn Joy Chiu, 22, a sunshine girl. Nothing rains on her parade.
"I made my bed to kick-start my day, so there was no temptation to lounge in bed or take afternoon naps." Ms Elysia Tan, senior counsellor at Touch Integrated Family Group, which serves families, children, youth and people who require mental health support, says:"In Singapore, which like the other major cities globally is highly efficient and enjoys much stability, people may find themselves out of their comfort zone."
American grief expert David Kessler articulated the sadness now engulfing people worldwide:"The loss of normalcy; the fear of economic toll; the loss of connection." In compact Singapore homes, conflict over shared space can arise. Ms Poh of The Therapy Platform notes that in space-scarce Singapore, people face their families 24/7. This intensifies during the circuit breaker month.
Ms Christine Wong, a psycho-traumatology practitioner, mentions a client who had a never-experienced level of Covid-19 anxiety."She said she was worried about employment, but her job was stable." "The virus is a finite thing,'' he said at a Web In Travel webinar last month on managing Covid-19 fear and anxiety."Eventually this storm will pass. It's not a never-ending pattern of gloom and doom."
3. Keep our hope alive. This is a good time to rethink our ways of life and reflect: What would a better tomorrow look like? Make the best of every moment - and we will come out of Covid-19 stronger.
