Isolation

[Potato12345]

My depression gets so bad on the weekends that it's hurting my partner. I'm thinking this means I need to make the rule to never leave my room on the weekends anymore so I don't bother him. I would leave the house but I got no where to go. Does anyone have any ideas?

Try a park. That's a good way to change your environment. It's healing outlet when you're experiencing any depression. Your local community center could also be a good option. I couldn't check out mine because of the costs attached. Forgive me, that suggestion may not be free.One more idea is a spiritual center. It's like a church but it won't be focused on any one religion...I felt safe suggesting that one because I don't know your beliefs.

My local park isn't very safe. And I don't like spirituality or religion. That's not my cup of tea. And yeah my community center has cost attached to. Cannot afford.

I don’t know if more isolation would make the depression better if you stay in your room on the weekends. Alone time as the tendency to lead to rumination, atleast for me. You deserve to take up space and be in this life.

When I was feeling a little stir crazy before my anxiety got really bad, I liked to try new food places by myself. Sometimes I’d go to the library and browse or just hangout for a bit.

I don’t know if there’s a mall by you, but sometimes it’s nice just to people watch sometimes. Or if you like animals and there’s a shelter to volunteer at nearby. By me, there’s been a bunch of cat cafes that have popped up in the past couple of years
