Dr PhFleecyD Apr 2020 9:43am, 15 Apr 2020 49,425 posts	0 Dr PhFleecyD And Hipps: you are pretty resilient using any definition of the term. The way many people cope with stress is by reaching out to others. That is literally unavailable right now so many people’s usual stress or anxiety reduction methods are cut off from them. People are social creatures and lack of social contact causes distress on top of everything else there is to worry about.
