How are you mentally dealing with quarantine?

Question

I recently started to feel so trapped 😞 I don't know how to feel better. Any tips?

Answer

I’m not okay. We recently decided to prioritize mental health over physical health and drove 6 hours to see my parents. It was that or literally consider taking anti-depressants, which I may still consider taking when we get home next week.

Answer

I have an appointment with my psychologist over video chat coming up. I have depression and it has been getting worse with quarantine some days. I won’t go into details but my husband had to talk me down at one point from a major depressive episode and he encouraged me to seek help so I did. I haven’t seen a psychologist or therapist in over 3 years until now.
If you have access to telehealth services like video chatting or texting with a therapist, I recommend it.

We really aren't doing anything different. Still working, still shopping. In terms of daily life it's fine, but we have a lot of friends who are out of jobs or are stuck at home with depression, and I worry for them a lot.

If I wasn't dealing with school I'd be okay, school is my major stress/cause of anxiety but I'm fine with being quarantined.

I’m fine but I think that’s bc I am still working and see a therapist regularly anyway.  I’m going on maternity leave after next week, so I think I’ll get stir crazy.

Answer

Pretty good. I made a schedule for myself and I live in the hills so it’s pretty calming to be surrounded by nature. Sometimes I’ll take my cat out for a walk, go on a hike in my neighbourhood, pet my neighbours’ horses (with their permission), or go for a swim. Feels like I’m going out and about without actually leaving my neighbourhood.

Answer

I'm working from home, I love it!
