Question: What can I do to manage job related stress during the COVID-19 pandemic?

Answer passage (source: CDC):
page_title: Coping with Stress
section_headers: For responders
section_content: Responding to COVID-19 can take an emotional toll on you, and you may
experience secondary traumatic stress. Secondary traumatic stress is stress
reactions and symptoms resulting from exposure to another individual’s
traumatic experiences, rather than from exposure directly to a traumatic
event.
There are things you can do to reduce secondary traumatic stress reactions:

Acknowledge that secondary traumatic stress can impact anyone helping families after a traumatic event.
Learn the symptoms including physical (fatigue, illness) and mental (fear, withdrawal, guilt).
Allow time for you and your family to recover from responding to the pandemic.
Create a menu of personal self-care activities that you enjoy, such as spending time with friends and family, exercising, or reading a book.
Take a break from media coverage of COVID-19.
Ask for help if you feel overwhelmed or concerned that COVID-19 is affecting your ability to care for your family and patients as you did before the outbreak.

yourself during emergency
response.

Disaster Technical Assistance Center (SAMHSA).

Communicate with your coworkers, supervisors, and employees about job stress while maintaining social distancing (at least 6 feet).

Talk openly with employers, employees, and unions about how the pandemic is affecting work. Expectations should be communicated clearly by everyone.
Ask about how to access mental health resources in your workplace.


Identify those things which you do not have control over and do the best you can with the resources available to you.
Increase your sense of control by developing a consistent daily routine when possible — ideally one that is similar to your schedule before the pandemic. 
Keep a regular sleep scheduleexternal icon.
Take breaks from work to stretch, exercise, or check in with your supportive colleagues, coworkers, family, and friends.
Spend time outdoors, either being physically active or relaxing.
If you work from home, set a regular time to end your work for the day, if possible.
Practice mindfulness techniquesexternal icon.
Do things you enjoy during non-work hours.


Know the facts about COVID-19. Be informed about how to protect yourself and others. Understanding the risk and sharing accurate information with people you care about can reduce stress and help you make a connection with others.
Remind yourself that each of us has a crucial role in fighting this pandemic.
Remind yourself that everyone is in an unusual situation with limited resources.
Take breaks from watching, reading, or listening to news stories, including social media. Hearing about the pandemic repeatedly can be upsetting and mentally exhausting
Connect with others. Talk with people you trust about your concerns, how you are feeling, or how the COVID-19 pandemic is affecting you. 
Connect with others through phone calls, email, text messages, mailing letters or cards, video chat, and social media.
Check on others. Helping others improves your sense of control, belonging, and self-esteem. Look for safe ways to offer social support to others, especially if they are showing signs of stress, such as depression and anxiety.


If you feel you may be misusing alcohol or other drugs (including prescription drugs) as a means of coping, reach out for help.
If you are being treated for a mental health condition, continue with your treatment and be aware of any new or worsening symptoms.
