Hello fellas, trust we all had a great weekend even in the face of this current tough times.
One thing I believe is as long as there is life, there is hope hence the need to keep going even in this tough and rough moments because giving up is never an option and the struggles must continue.
How do I cope with all the stress?
Indeed one needs to ask how people cope with this hardship as many have already given up by running into depression and others opted for suicide because they could no longer stand the emotional and psychological pains.
I am also stressed but thank God for God. I am a practicing Christian who has been taught never to give up on God. That is really helping me in coping with the current happenings though sometimes I also feel like giving up but then I always remember the promises of God in Philippians 4:6.

Let me gist you about some months ago I was going through a lot of psychological stress that even sleep was far away from me. There was nothing absolutely working in trying to get rid of the stress. In the nights I pray for dawn and in the day time I pray for night to come. But the moment I remember Christ, everything is now history as I decided to lay everything at his feet.
Over the months, I also discovered ways of coping with stress. Each time I feel stressed, I pray a short prayer, silence my phone and travel into the dreamland and by the I awake, I feel a lot better because I also realized that there is absolutely nothing in this world. Today you are here and tomorrow you are no more. So killing myself won't bring solution rather if I die, someone else will take up the responsibilities of what I think cannot be done without me.
Also, chatting with family and friends helps in releasing stress.
Playing games, creating contents, engaging in meaning and fruitful tasks helps one to cope and also have positive mindset that everything will be alright at the right time.
So my dear readers, learn to let go of anything you cannot change. Don't stress yourself over someone or something because life is too short to stress oneself. Just enjoy while it last because I've seen healthy people who slept off and never wake up.
