My Anxiety Disorder Diary | How I Am Coping With This CoVid-19 Pandemic and Quarantine

The most feared word in this time is CoVid-19. Everyone cringes when they hear this and no-one could have predicted that the entire world would be at halt or that we would see major cities like ghost towns. The pandemic and quarantine has affected millions and every family has experienced loss in every way.

I would like to share how this situation has affected our mental disability and what we are doing to move forward.

Thinking forward despite the challenges


What is it like for us during this pandemic and quarantine?

It was March 12, when we heard the buzz about Metro Manila being placed under quarantine and I felt myself going into a panic. Then, the news dropped with the entire Metro Manila being placed under quarantine effective March 16 - this is when I felt my world start to close around me.  

“This is not good...” 

I felt a panic attack rising; I called my mom in Laguna wanting to leave Metro Manila with my family and we created a plan where we could stay. Even though I was working in a corporate office, I knew I could get the go-signal to work at home.
