Donāt judge yourself for your response. If youāre feeling, anxious, down, avoidant, angry, depressed, overwhelmed, numbāthis is the ebb and flow of being human in all that is happening right now...Instead you can try: Self-compassion
Start with āOf course Iām feeling X, Y is happening (global pandemic, fear, isolation, elimination of coping resources, scary policy&politics etc., etc., etc.,). This feeling will pass, it will also likely return as we are navigating this. But judging your response adds to your suffering. You have a right to feel to this way and we can only shift our emotions by being in them and moving through them. You donāt have to stay in them, but itās best to honor them, hold them dear. They and you are worthy of compassion.
