Loneliness s

Hi,

Hope all of you are fine.
I have never seen such period of life . When you are almost isolated, disconnected from the rest of world in terms of face-to-face contact , though you are socially connected , but the buzz of CoronaVirus has made our lives still and we are limited to single rooms & house . I have tried a lot to keep myself alive and kicking , but every time after finishing study for one or two hours my mind seems as if it is blocked . Even I am trying to resume my study, but every time fear of being disconnecting from loved ones is increasing .

mocha delight, I have the same problem with Psychologists. I don't see them anymore because I've had traumatic experiences but thats just me, I hope it doesn't happen to you or others. This is common apparently which is quite sad - they don't accept new patients and bulk bill, even with health care cards and whatnot, or even a mental health care plan, ridiculous really if you ask me.

Hi Bhawani,

I hear you and you are not alone. A lot of people feel this way. Are you self isolating because of government requirement or you feel worried about going outside? Do you live alone?

Thanks

No there isn’t any restriction on me to go outside and there is no compulsion from Government side .

Hi,

No , I am not taking any anti-depressant.
I prefer reading books, watching movies . Because, there is no any contact with any one .

regards

Bhawani, mocha delight was mentioning that they're on antidepressants. I am too.

hi,

but I don’t want to take it. I prefer someone to talk to me . Isolation is very critical, as the time passes , the fear of emptiness increases gradually.

it is really a blessing to have friend near by you with whom you can share whatever you have fear , doubt or feelings .

may we pass through tough times

kind Regards

Thank you so much .

I tried to restrict my mind and focused on study, and did that as well for almost 7 Hours without break , but when finished this thought again reverberates in mind .

how do you manage in this situation?

kind regards

Thanks for you reply and other than coming here I don’t really have an answer sorry
