At this point, who isnt excessively worrying about coronavirus? I am certainly struggling; Ive woken up numerous times in a clammy sweat from dreams about it this week alone.

Its perfectly OK to feel every single emotion youre experiencing lately. Being anxious right now is completely understandable as anxiety stems, in large part, from uncertainty and that is everywhere, said Jessica Gold, an assistant professor of psychiatry at Washington University in St. Louis.

Gold said that self-care can help mitigate some of the negative feelings coming up during this pandemic. That means getting enough sleep, eating proper meals, taking a break from the news, and connecting with loved ones over FaceTime. This also means asking for mental health help when emotions become overwhelming, she stressed.

Of course, that can be easier said than done. Therapy can be expensive. Even if you have insurance, it can still be taxing on your wallet.

Thankfully, there are some affordable mental health resources. We rounded up a few options, which range from helping you address low-level anxiety to support you should use when youre in a crisis. Take a look at them below, and know theres no shame in getting some outside help:

Crisis Text Line

Mental health counselors are just a quick text away thanks to the Crisis Text Line , which is a free national text messaging service. Just text home to 741-741 to get started. And know that youre not the only one who is struggling with coronavirus fears lately: Approximately 77% of Crisis Text Line texters said they have stress or anxiety related to coronavirus, according to data sent to HuffPost from the organization.

Teletherapy or other digital services

Online therapy services like BetterHelp and Talkspace may offer more affordable options than your insurance provider or other in-person therapists . Plans can start anywhere from $40 to $60 a week, depending on the company. Some even offer financial aid or other payment options. (Talkspace is also offering free online therapy for frontline medical workers during this crisis.)

Real , a new mental health platform, is offering free online help this month in response to coronavirus concerns. The company will provide a selection of services for users including group sessions, virtual events and one-on-one sessions which will be led by trained mental health professionals.

Sliding scale

Many providers do offer sliding scale payment options, meaning you discuss what you can afford with your therapist and settle on a session rate together. This could be a useful option if youre not insured or working right now, or if youre currently seeing a therapist who isnt covered under your plan.

Ask mental health professionals if they do sliding scale. You can also search for sliding scale treatment through the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA). Websites like Thero.org can also help you search for a sliding scale therapist.

Of course, all of this should be done via telephone or online if youre social distancing or self-isolating .
