i’m very sure my depressive phase was triggered by not having any contact with people outside of my own home so this was a treat to my well being for sure

i've been pretty much glued to my partner for the last 1,5 years and like after covid restrictions stepping in place etc i've literally only seen him and a handful of family every now and then. and i feel like we both need to get out of the house so badly and see other people and do things both together and separately somewhere else than home. we don't even step out most of the days. and now i've spent a couple days away from home and i feel super lonely but also am starting to realise how unhealthy it is to be together literally 24/7

i'm sorry you've been going through that but it's good that you've realised what might've been causing your symptoms so you can try to work around the restrictions and distancing etc but still try to meet other people more frequently. also it sounds super nice and chill to hang out with your neighbour!!

yeah, it must feel pretty horrible not to be able to physically reach out in any way. like idk what you do exactly but i imagine you work in some sort of health care facility or something, and there can and probably are patients there who are completely lacking in human interaction currently and like being touched by another humans is a very primitive need so i guess it can sometimes really suck.

completely understand u with that, it’s a lot being around people 24/7 and i like have my own stuff to go to etc where it’s not with the people i live with (in this case being my family, i love em but i need space away 2)

yeah! it was good that i realized days after my depressive phase started n like it gave me so much joy just talking with her yesterday so i’m very appreciate of her living next to us
it was like medicine just going over to her apartment n just enjoy convos with someone who isn’t family !

i work for a private practice and with one exception, i've avoided the hospital completely.
i imagine it's worse for those in nursing home because many don't have family to even phone.
i'd like to say that the nursing staff in those institutions give adequate care, but it's not always true

it's really great to have people you can reach out to living close to you, honestly i'd probably ended up in lots of more trouble as a kid if i didn't have a nice family living next door to sometimes just like.... take me in for a night or something. i just mean it was too much for me sometimes to deal with my own family and its issues, everything was relatively okay but i really needed that safe space around the corner from time to time. and i can imagine if i was living with family members now i'd need a lot more of that --own space

and i think i've started to actually internalise the fact that my relationship is basically self-destructing because we don't have our own separate things at all. like i don't know why everything has become so...melded together but i wanna work on getting some me-time if we can work through our other issues and stay together. kinda saddening, kinda exciting (to realise what you actually need to work on to be healthier)

this whole covid situation must have been like overall extremely taxing on all health care personnel etc, i hope things can get back to as normal as possible as soon as possible. how have you been dealing with it all, like does it cause a lot of anxiety to be in a high risk position for getting the virus or do you feel trusting/safe having all the new policies in patient care regarding hygiene and masks etc?

i haven't actually even thought about that a lot because i don't have any family living in nursing homes or such but it makes me feel kinda miserable to think about all the people who've been pretty much left alone because of the virus and its effects in everything :/

for sure! but yeah own space is rly important to not lose ur mind, ur brain needs variation or else it will be starving for it,, which i feel it has done during covid

completely understandable! i hope this virus gets to a halt so we can go back to things we used to do before to find peace again for our minds !

i think i know exactly how you feel like and i feel confident saying that you will get that sense of leading a normal life again. it's been weird for everybody and for some people it hits harder than others. and like i said earlier in this thread, human interaction and being close to someone physically are primitive needs we all experience on some level. loneliness is one of the hardest feelings to tackle for sure, because nothing can quite replace the actual physical contact and the sense of being a part of a group of friends or something. i hope you can interact with people in some way regardless of needing to be alone a lot more than you're used to. eventually this pandemic will be rid of, til then just try to hang in there and find ways to feel included in some social setting while still preferably following the rules your local authorities etc have set.
