Summary

Finding the lockdown ease incredibly stressful? Stevie and Tessa are too. And with the rules continually changing, and friends acting in all different sorts of ways (some aren’t comfortable in groups yet, some went to illegal raves) how do you navigate it without exploding? This week we look at how to destress and stick to your guns - whether your guns are isolation or holidaying in Spain.

NB the rules we mention are right at the time of recording, but check the government website for the most recent guidelines for your area

0:00.0	Hello, welcome to nobody panic. How are you doing at lockdown when the lockdown is easy?
0:17.2	Tessa.
0:18.2	Thank you, Stevie. Is it lockdown? Is it lock up? Are we allowed to go out? What's the rules? Nobody knows. What's going on in this country? I'm Tessie. And this episode is about coping with lockdown easing because nobody knows what they're supposed to be doing and we're all seeing some people doing very much doing their own thing which is fun some people not leaving their
0:45.8	houses and I think we'll get we'll get into the psychology but we did like we did know how to cope when we were going into it and that was that was I found very
0:57.4	helpful in New saw where we both like started off I remember in those heady months of March being like hello and we were so tense and
1:05.0	recorded in the stairwell of a hotel in Glasgow you were so
1:08.2	echoing and now I remember halfway through lockdown I was like I have a distinct
1:13.0	and this is just my own experience and very probably in the minority
1:16.9	but I was very much like I feel like I'm going to lose my mind when this starts up again.
1:20.9	It was it was almost like very easy at the start. It was like

1:29.8	So now I'm just I'm just permanently terrified that I'm doing the wrong thing all the time.
1:34.0	Yeah, like when it at least when it, when we went into like that. I mean it was completely surreal and
1:38.7	mad and nobody but at least everybody was in the same situation.
1:43.4	Yes.
1:44.4	Whereas now that it's a sort of every man with himself free for all,
1:48.9	suddenly you've got this in, suddenly like FOMO is back on the cards and you're like is everyone else doing things should I be doing things?
1:56.3	You've hit the nail on the head. I think lockdown worked for me so well because I didn't have FOMO because I was like
2:01.6	yeah everyone else is yeah it was really genuinely I think quite good for people to be an I mean
2:08.1	Some people but I truly think the general universal feeling is people being like this is horrendous but not has had a
