Where to start and what to do?

frankie_boi2002 — Sat, 16 May 2020 03:17:10 GMT

I have been struggling with anxiety and depression for years and the whole Covid-19 thing is making it worse. For 2 months now i have been stuck at home unable to see my friends, partner, go to school or go to a doctor for help. I feel like I'm at an all time low and it's just getting worse.

My parents are trying to help but being stuck on a property away from everything is not helping and I feel really bad because they are trying to help but I don't know what they can do to help me because I don't know what I need.

I'm just so stuck and don't know what to do.

Hi, welcome

You can go to a doctor under the Covid restrictions.

Being isolated on a rural property is tough so people like yourself. If you increase your internet activity through social media then that can bite you with trolls and abuse.

Can I suggest a hobby? Crafts? Dried flower arrangements? Just suggestions.

Welcome to you frankie_boi

Congratulations on your first post and reaching out here.

I hope you are feeling a little better about things. Did you manage to speak to a doctor about your feelings? What have you been doing during Covid-19? What are your interests?

Hope to hear from you soon.

Take care.
