Social isolation and need online company

Social isolation and need online company

I'm about to get coffee and breakfast. How does everybody deal with social isolation due to this pandemic? Also, please sit with coffee, tea, or any other beverage of your choosing, or snack oráHenryX@nd please chitchat away. Of course I have some ofline supports but when they're not available I need the Internet. This pandemic has up-ended my life in more ways than one.

I have so many activities I could be doing, but the pandemic has stopped those. The list is long and exhaustive. It's great to reduce the spread of this virus. But at what cost? I've had people offline, tell me to stop mixing with people. But I can't entirely isolate away from people. Some comments are so judgy and hurtful. At the end of the day I need a social life but can't have one. Social distancing is making me feel more isolated. This time of uncertainty isn't "temporary". It's still happening. I can't wait till the Government relaxes health policies so we can have our old freedoms back.

How's the coping going? Anything to let off your chest? Any suggestions known to mankind to deal with this stifling Covid-19 drama? This pandemic has gone on for too long! My rant is over and with that I feel better enough to start my day.

I absolute with needing a little more online company, and something that never really crossed my mind before. The pandemic has really caught up with me lately and I am feeling it all, actually it is getting me really down, as I feel I would be in a different position if we were just living life 'normal', but I know that is not possible and no use thinking those thoughts.

I have struggled with living remotely in the heat and not having any of my creature comforts. I am trying desperately to keep trying but it all gets very exhausting to have worry on your mind 24/7.

Trying to continue on and stay positive x

This too shall pass ❤️

Absolutely @MDT , it definitely feels like it isn't even and trying to not compare my experience to anyone else's but oh boy, some people really 'look' like they have never been better. We are all running our own race and can go at a pace comfortable for us. That is a snails pace for me right now 😛

Yes, grateful we can be connected in some form in these forums.

Social isolation is a symptom of my mental illness covid has made little difference. I do however miss the freedom I had to go and do whatever I want.
