TunedOut, yes I live alone. Normally I love that I live by myself out in the boonies. Now though there are times the isolation gets to me.
Trav, thanks for asking. My emotions are all over the place. Isolation is a HUGE trigger for my depression. Staying home because of covid is making it a difficult struggle. I saw a news story last week about the number of people who did not previously have a mental health diagnosis who now meet the criteria for a depression or anxiety disorder. I decided I need to work a bit harder at using coping skills. I went back to limiting how much news I read. I tried not checking numbers every day. That made things worse. I have to know the current numbers. I compromised with myself and only check the numbers at one source once a day.
I really should post about all the other stuffbthats also going on. I just don't seem to have the gumption to do it.
