Bored Panda contacted Ariane Ling, a clinical instructor in the the Department of Psychiatry at NYU Langone Health, who told us about the toll the current crisis has on our emotional state. It turns out that harnessing a sense of humor during this time is one of the most effective strategies to cope with unpleasant feelings.
Ling explained that there are both short-term and long-term benefits of cracking a joke now and then amid the crisis. “It helps to manage and tolerate stress in the moment while also maintaining perspective and resilience moving forward.” Humor is one creative way of coping rather than avoiding and going into denial about things.
Understandably, many of us feel anxious and keeping that sense of humor up is one of the very few resources we have right now. “Patients have shared how things that would normally help with stress are no longer available, including meeting up with friends for brunch, playing sports with their local league, going to the gym, etc,” said Ling. As a result, some “of my patients have described [the situation] as surreal or floating without an anchor.”
According to Ling, psychological wellbeing can also go in a positive direction where it is possible to keep spirits high when faced with large-scale tragedy. She explained: “Despite physical distancing, it's evident that people have been taking advantage of technology to stay social and connected. I’ve learned from my patients that holding on to gratitude is also critical in bolstering resilience.” It all comes down to being thankful for small things and enjoying the moment.
The clinical instructor also told us that in their NYU Langone Health clinic, “we started a 'good vibes' email chain where we share uplifting stories and clever memes.” So next time you’re thinking of sharing that meme with your friends and relatives, just press send—it may be all they need now.
HAHAHA! I bet lots of cats feel the same way. My dog's are also starting to look a bit tired. Instead of sleeping all day as usual, they now have to follow my husband in case he's eating something or doing something interesting.
OMG I said exactly this to my wife last week while we were in the store!
Could be worse - you could live in one of the states who are refusing to impose quarantine orders all together. They're quite happy for their citizens to get sick & die apparently
People who think the government restrictions are overreach are going to gather in D.C. to protest them. *headwall times eleventy-billion*
Excuse me...Please do not call out ALL Americans...I'm not responsible for anything. I did my part as far as voting was concerned and I have to literally clean up after someone else's mess daily, while barely getting the proper oxygen from this mask. So do not blame all Americans for this mess. Just like some of us are not pointing the finger for ALL Europeans.
Not sure what voting has to do with it, but he's talking about people who were still hanging out with their buddy and socializing, after the stay at home order was in place. If YOU were social distancing and staying home (except for essentials), then YOU did your part. I just found out that my husband had been going to get coffee and junk food and then going and hanging out with his buddies while I was at work. That was irresponsible! Behavior like my husband's is why the stay home order got extended. I'm so ashamed of him. I locked his debit card and car keys in the safe.

Truth! I've been staying home since the first order. Now I've got to stay, because others didn't. Now I'm totally bummed (end of week 3) with staying home. And my husband, a construction worker, was declared an "essential" employee. So no getting projects done. PLEASE STAY HOME. For me.
My state's order is going to keep getting extended because people won't stay home.

Quit lying America! We european warned you for !weeks! before but you though it wouldnt touch usa. You are all responsible.
Just like many places in Europe were extremely slow to act when they knew about the dangers in China...does that make all of you responsible as well?

Stfu. If people stayed at home and followed rules- the virus wouldn't spread so much. The hell am I gonna get the virus from if I'm at home? And yes- people are to blame- nothing else!

Oh god, I have been so caught up with all this alone time that I haven't even though that there are introverts that live with other people.
I have been TRYING to sleep in now that I don’t have to get my son ready for school.
Anyone else actually want to try that. Put some water underneath and it’d be fun.
I choked on a sweet the other day whilst sitting in the back garden. We live next door to a garage and shop and I swear the people queuing to get groceries were freaking out about the ill person in the house next door 😬 And I just wanted to shout I’M NOT INFECTED JUST AN IDIOT DON’T WORRY.
At least 3 times in 2 weeks we have had massive groups of people hanging out at the beach. Like seriously, these people are completely f****d in the head. What part of STAY THE F**K AT HOME do they not understand.
Thought the mask was his mouth for a moment, and man that was a creepy smile
I don't know if it's the being stuck at home or not, but that made me laugh too much
I just taught a whole lesson on "Flowers for Algernon" to my students in my PJs
I'd quarantine any decorations with words on it. Don't advertise to me what I should be feeling in your house.
Then you have too much money. (Edit: I read "mini laptop for my dog".)
Honestly, given that Willem DeFoe voiced Ryuk for that movie he was the best part!
In my country you can't return them...they changed the policy so you can't rescind buyers remorse....coz panic buying was dumb to begin with....
About time! The child ran crime unit knew where he was hidding for years, but the commissioner decided to dismiss those findings.
At once or one after another? Mind you you could watch them all at once, starts with not a lot happening, wander around a bit, have a bit of fight, wander around a bit more, have a bigger fight, find a love interest, wander around a bit more and then have one big final fight, pretty much covers all of them doesn't it?
This is an HEB grocery store mascot. You are not essential, but maybe the costume is helping keeping you safe (but probably not! ) I hope this picture is old.
Yassss. So true. Especially for Minnesotans today it's going to be 68 degrees!! Spot on!
Say yes, and makeup some story about how hard it was because there was no spotify or ipad.
guilty of letting them rip without first checking if someone was behind me, chuckle..
Ugh, our grocery bill has increased dramatically and not just because of snacking but also because the f**k heads stripping the shelves bare and leaving a handful of the more expensive items. I usually pay less than $2 for flour and I had to pay over $4, I also pay less than $3 for body wash but had to pay $8.50 coz that’s all they bloody had. Add the fact that many of our fruit and veg are dearer because of our recent bushfires doesn’t help.
I'm sure certain people agree to this. my school is online learning, and not only did they give us 5 times the regular amount homework, but they gave us 10 times the amount. LUCKILY, I finish it in time.
Memes like this don't work very well, because taste in music is way too subjective.
Yes, there are only two places here currently selling coffee...I make sure to alternate days so they don't think I'm bad at quarantining.
or using ur phone too much and spending 2h and 57 minutes on tik tok
All the crazies who were already all prepped for the zombie apocalypse are pointing and laughing at the rest of us right now. 'Bet you wish had a bunker now! Still think buying 10 cases of peanut butter was stupid? Got enough toilet paper? No? Well, isn't that a shame?'
How come I can still buy anything I want or need without someone saying they can't supply? Even the bare essentials every household needs is readily available, Wine whiskey, coffee, whipped cream, steaks.

Uh, no. Trump did not cause Corona. Just like how Obama didn't cause Ebola.

I didn't like most of them, not funny. I like my joke better: What would happen if coronavirus mutated into an STD? There would be a lot more "f*****g" cases!
That was terrible. Work on your material and get back to us when you have something good.

Think about this. The virus started in China. They lied and hid whats going on with it. They could have contained it. They let it spread hoping it would cripple the American economy and America will come crawling to them to borrow even more money to pay for all of the stimulus bills that'll be passed. Conspiracy? It's the perfect plan for world domination!
Oh, come now! America had idiots ruining its future LONG before the novel coronavirus ever mutated. If China had really wanted to f*ck us up, they would have done what Russia did in 2016. But, they got beaten to the punch.
