Anyone else feel like they’re crawling up the walls lately? I was fine with WFH/quarantine for the most part until the week after thanksgiving and since then I feel like my mental health has gone from good to bad and I’be never had mental health issues before. Feel unmotivated, crabby and have the urge to cry often. I’ve been staying with my parents mostly since March and last night I basically exploded about how I can’t take it anymore.....

Yesterday I put on my mask and face shield, and worked from the mall coffee space for several hours. Even though I didn’t interact with anyone except for barista, when I ordered a coffee, I really felt better in the end of the day. Just feeling people moving around gave me a shot of energy.

I did this too at a coffee shop near my house that has a giant outdoor patio. I was shocked at how a single morning of working from there, with a mask on, made me feel so much more normal and connected to society. I’m in LA so I stopped doing that because our cases are so bad, but I highly recommend it if that feels safe to you at some point.

I’ve heard about some friends playing an MMO rpg together and having a fun time exploring a whole new world from the safety of their home. Does that sound like something that could help?

Tanks for the reply! I don’t really play video games. I’m a super outdoorsy person so I’d take that over sitting in front of a computer or tv any day.

I’ve been there. After a breakdown like you described, with encouragement for my husband we invited another couple to stay with us for the weekend. Hosting friends was exactly what my outgoing self needed.

In a world where social media is constantly telling me to ‘stay home and save lives’, having friends over feels controversial. But Winter is going to be tough and all the Zoom hangs and group message threads in the world can’t replace real life interactions.

I wish I had more solid advice OP. Hang in there!

Seeing a professional through virtual therapy is super helpful. I’ve also found a weighted blanket, a sun lamp, CBD tincture, daily walks (even in the cold), regular facetimes with family or friends, and aromatherapy oils in lavendar and peppermint helpful. And, apps like Calm or Headspace have free or low cost meditations, while apps like Lululemon have free yoga videos. It’s not perfect and you may not enjoy it all, but building those moments of mental health care into a routine may help.

I recently started lifting, only once a week so far since I'm only at my work (and it's free gym) on Mondays. My friend said I might as well not lift at all since I'm not doing it 3 times a week. I get I'm not building a ton of muscle, if any at all, by only going once a week but it was really discouraging to hear that. I'm not in the habit of working out yet, so should I just stop lifting entirely if I'm not doing it 3x weekly?
