How do you do it? I am alone all day. I have no social contacts except people who call me to talk about their problems and don’t make room for me. My mom calls me daily to unload her stress. If I try to talk about me, she makes it about her. She knows I see a psychiatrist but doesn’t know why. She never asks how I am. My husband is very busy with work right now and doesn’t have much time. I have 5 children and 2 have special needs. It’s a lot of stress and work. Due to covid, I have had no social contacts since March and have lost touch with most of my friends.

I’m so desperate for human companionship. The isolation is making me feel very depressed.

How are you surviving?
