Isolation

[Lulu02]

Ive been able to mostly control my depression for about a year now but since I’ve been isolation for the past 2 weeks it’s been extremely hard to remain stable. The biggest factor into not falling into another bout of depression for me was to get outside everyday but I can’t do this anymore. In addition to this I’m stuck inside with my mother all day and we just argue and argue and I have nowhere to escape to. She is so strict on these social distancing rules that even if I wanted to go outside we would have a huge argument about it beforehand. I tried to give myself some projects to do like gardening and stuff but now it’s raining. FaceTime doesn’t fill my need for socialisation the only person I’ve really been getting along with is my sister who most of the day is home-schooling anyway.

Sorry for this incoherent rant I realise it’s kind of everywhere and doesn’t make sense

Don't be sorry. yes, everyone is being effected in some way. Were All going a little crazy. Its okay to vent about it. I'm personally struggling extra today.. With feeling so closed off and alone.

I Hope you have better weather tmrw so you can at least go outside. It really does help.

Be safe.

I think the rate of Mental Health problems will rocket because of this Pandemic. Then we all will be in the majority who if like me be Psychotic 🤪🤯😱

This time is difficult for all of us. It is different and very challenging. Make the best of each day. Emotions are higher than usual, so be careful how you respond to your mom. Maybe try not to fight and instead be more agreeable. You might see a change in her attitude because you back off a bit. It can't hurt to try. And, you might even find you enjoy her company. And, find someone to share with, maybe it's your mom. She might be feeling the same way as you! HUGS!!!
