The confinement required during this epidemic period can have an impact on our psychological state.
A perception of hostility
In particular, confinement, as well as barrier gestures and other safety distances, can promote the perception of hostility in others, or the impression of being persecuted. It is important to understand that people who move away or turn away from you when you pass them are only respecting the safety distances necessary to reduce the risk of transmission of the virus, and are not expressing hostility through these gestures. .
A loss of bearings
Confinement is a source of multiple negative emotions: anxiety, anger, weariness, boredom, loss of desire, motivation or difficulty projecting into the future. It can also lead to a loss of bearings. In order to limit the negative emotional impact of confinement, it is important to remember that this is a temporary situation.
A psychological support platform
The FondaMental Foundation has just set up CovidEcoute, a free psychological support platform for anyone experiencing psychological distress linked to the Covid-19 epidemic and confinement. It provides access to teleconsultations with volunteer professionals, but also to meditation sessions and various resources.
