During the self-isolation regime, we received detailed instructions on preventing infection with the virus and maintaining our physical health, but no one told us how to minimize its consequences for mental health, how to maintain emotional stability and common sense under current conditions. Many perceived the first week of self-isolation as an extraordinary vacation and for some time were glad that they had time for their family, partners and children, putting things in order that had been put off for later, favorite activities and self-education. But the holidays dragged on, and we were faced with a wave of psychological problems, fears and emotional reactions of a wide range. The main compensation for broken social connections was Internet communication, which greatly simplified the quick exchange of any kind of information and led to the unconditional dominance of virtual communication over limited real one. On the one hand, this helps us “stay in touch” with significant people, and on the other hand, it can lead to a feeling of virtuality of social connections, their isolation from real life, and as a result – to the experience of a subjective feeling of loneliness, “falling out of life.” This state of affairs can have different meanings for a person - negative for some people, and positive for others, depending on the prevailing coping strategy (that is, the strategy for coping with stress from the self-isolation regime). My small research allowed us to identify the following strategies used:- life “in the moment” Anchor on what is happening in the current moment, awareness of yourself, your feelings and emotions. Presence directly here and now - showing attention, participation, care and love for oneself, internal relaxation. - (re)thinking Finding or rewriting the meaning of what is happening, which gives strength and resilience. Compliance with the self-isolation regime makes sense to save our lives and reduce the burden on the healthcare system. In this way we take care of ourselves, our loved ones, friends and fellow citizens in general. Realizing this fact, people can much more easily accept (self-)limitations. - acceptance of the situation “as is” Acceptance of what we do not have the resources to change, and focus on what is possible to change. The self-isolation regime has deprived us of our usual opportunities, at the same time, it has opened up some others that we can use or not. - energy conservation modeTransition to the energy conservation mode - physical and mental, which means using carefully and, if possible, replenishing resources in a timely manner. People value time more, occupy it with more meaningful activities than usual, plan the day and live according to a predetermined schedule. - Mutual help and support Both the willingness to provide help to those in need and to accept help from others if there is such a need helps to maintain psychological stability. In conditions of uncertainty, mutual responsibility and willingness to help and support others, to share sorrows and joys with them, becomes one of the points of support. - self-isolation as a challenge, a “point of growth” Perception of forced (self-) restrictions as a test, an incentive to develop, to work on oneself. - a look into the futureRealization that the self-isolation regime and the pandemic are not forever, sooner or later “this too will pass.” Therefore, it is important to preserve yourself and your life for the future. Thus, people with developed communication skills and an adequate self-attitude turn out to be more prosperous. Effective coping strategies in conditions of self-isolation turned out to be interconnected with the processes of self-knowledge, self-awareness, and positive self-attitude. Negative experiences in connection with self-isolation are associated with a negative self-attitude, with self-blame, with insufficient communication skills - without sufficient social space, a person feels subjectively lonely. So, the analysis of coping strategies in conditions of self-isolation showed that effective coping strategies are associated with.
