Much anxiety is surfacing in relation to the coming period, especially with the strict and cautious patterns of behavior that women have begun to adapt to face the Coronavirus and try to prevent its spread. This will have a profound impact on our social life and how we interact physically with others around us.
Also, returning to life is not as easy as it appears, and changing the normal standards of life after the Corona crisis will still be a hindrance for many women, especially after having collected them staying at home for the duration of the quarantine period. While some were forced to work remotely, others committed to continue working from their workplaces because of the nature of their professions, while others lost their jobs.
Back takes time
Lina Taha (sales representative) was forced to stay at home in compliance with the quarantine orders, and she left her home only for the extreme necessity, such as shopping or health reasons. She explained that she had almost lost her job because it depended on moving around and talking to clients face to face.
Lina notes that during these months she used to stay at home because it is the only option to maintain her health and the safety of her family, and believes that even if the experts announced the end of the crisis and confirmed that leaving the house and engaging in regular activities has become completely safe, it will take time to re-adapt to an environment that was recently considered A source of danger.
She follows Al-Jazeera Net, saying that she has not lost contact with her friends and those close to her because of the presence of the Internet, social media and video chat applications, and this is what drives her to feel the lack of distance between people despite the house quarantine.
When will life come back?
Rabiha Al Aswad (a teacher) considers her commitment from home with the application of the principle of distance education a successful experience despite the presence of some simple obstacles, and indicated that the continuation of work eased the burden of domestic stone in all its details, and with all its various problems, whether with children or husband, according to her saying to Al Jazeera Net .
Rabiha notes that we should not very much hope for the issue of a quick return, as the return will be gradual with a permanent commitment to preventive measures, and with caution, we will slowly return to normal life. She hopes that this crisis will disappear as soon as possible because the house stone has made her feel suffocated, stressed and depressed.
Life has not changed because of my profession
As for Raya El-Dana (a pharmacy), she did not feel that normal life changed on her, because she is forced to stay in the pharmacy while taking all preventive instructions, and the nature of her work helped her a lot in escaping from the obligatory home stone and from the anxiety that controls the diaries of many women.
But she considers her profession to be one of the sensitive professions whose owners are on the front lines of the battle with the "Covid-19 فيروس" virus. She works daily to educate people about ways to prevent, and she fears for herself from catching the virus, because she spends an entire day in the pharmacy to return evening to her children And her husband, who is in the home stone.
Worry and fear will not disappear quickly
Psychotherapist Rania Shatila believes that returning to the practice of normal social life requires a great time, as the crisis we are experiencing is an "existential" crisis, she said to Al-Jazeera Net, as it touches on the feature of physical / social rapprochement, which is one of the most existential traits of man.
Shatila believes that "anxiety and fear will be very present after a number of countries begin to return life to normal, especially in light of economic anxiety and loss of confidence in governments and politics that have been unable to find alternatives for many societal groups. Consequently, we need a great time to understand and understand the ways Which we will resort to in order to organize our lives, which have ceased for several months from normal production and communication. "
And she makes clear that "anxiety of return" embodies fear of the unknown and the loss of this period of safety created by the obligatory stone inside our homes. Closing has created an artificial sense of safety around the world, and we must not forget that anxiety occurs when we feel fear of a potential threat to our health and personal safety, and the feeling takes hold. Anxiety when accompanied by ambiguity, tension and change.
So, while the trend is heading towards a mysterious and unpredictable future, it is quite natural for us to be concerned about it, but the solution lies in how to control and control this feeling.
