Headspace meditation app. I'm now addicted to it.
Using calm myself but agree. Meditation is a game changer
I'm kind of surprised at how well it has gone. I miss seeing my friends in person and I have actually been doing a really bad job of keeping in touch online, but I have been enjoying my hobbies, cooking more, reading more, etc.
I go from this to depressed and doing awful every two days. It’s a rollercoaster
Flirting with all my potential suitors.
Not doing too great, to be honest.
Taking walks, chatting with people on zoom/phone/text and cooking in my free time all help.
Taking walks, meditation, and trying my best to keep a strict schedule have helped a ton. But agree, it’s tough as hell

Not being around idiots 😂
Hasn’t been great. The depression is getting to me and I’m getting too “comfortable” being alone. But -
Finding something in my apartment to upgrade/fix which I always wanted to do but didn’t have time - doesn’t have to be $$$, lots of sales rn.
Baking/cooking. Home cooked food really helps.
Forcing myself to go outside even when I have no motivation.
Therapy.

You can’t miss your friends if you never had any
Came here for ideas, left feeling more depressed about being solo for the indefinite future 😅

I go through waves of not coping well at all and being okay, but going on walks helps a lot. The days I can’t do that because of heat waves I’m definitely way more depressed. Also being honest with my friends that I’m not doing okay and asking to FaceTime has helped.

I moved to a new country for a new job just before the pandemic hit and not doing well. I barely know any of my colleagues because I didn’t get to socialize much and can’t meet my friends/family back home because of corona. It’s tough to make new friends since I feel everyone here already have their groups. I’m thinking I should get on dating apps soon. I don’t really have any hopes of finding an SO but would be good to meet new people at least.

Crying, meditation, studying for certifications, talking to my bf on the phone and then staying on the line while we work on separate things
Im: keeping a fairly set schedule, doing things for others (give blood, donate, etc), diving into new hobbies, chatting with friends and family, and giving myself permission to feel whatever im happening to feel.
Also ive been doing a little gratitude journal (3 things a day-- sometimes theyre as simple as a favorite song or good weather).
There are good days and bad days, but such is life.
Take some online classes. Many are free and from great universities, and include discussions/online sections that let you engage with classmates even if you're auditing the class. Meditation. At home workouts. Lots of people kind of knock Peloton but give it a try. The classes have other people on at the same time as you, so you feel more competitive and connected. No equipment required if you don't have any, and no hard physical effort either, if you do the meditation and beginner yoga classes. Join a virtual book (or movie) club. Also, spring cleaning helps for me.... it's not spring anymore but it gives me a project. Good luck! Hope it gets better for you.
