How the coronavirus pandemic is impacting mental health

[@janj1792]

It's not the social distancing that gives people anxiety. It's the uncertainty, it's the lack of support from government, lack of reassurance, financial struggle.

[@candy541]

[@snoopycat5828]

No it's also the social distancing. Because you cant go see your friends, family and you cant go out and do anything fun like going to restaurants or shopping and anything else enjoyable.

[@jeanramirez6441]

BOBONOPOLI yep I’m not a needy people type of person but when I’m not working it gets me very anxious and depressed

[@milicajovanovic7578]

It’s hard when you already have depression and sad thoughts because the only thing that was keeping me alive and happy was going outside as much as possible and distracting myself. Now that I’m alone all the time and I can’t even go outside it’s hard to not think about all the things that are bothering me. Don’t worry I’m not suicidal. It’s different, I’m just not happy...

[@alternity28]

Maybe this little guy can brighten your day: kzbin.info/www/bejne/noSnhmyOjc96gNU Also, if you've never heard of lucid dreaming, you may want to look into it. I've done it in the past. Talk about freedom to go anywhere and do anything! I'm also dealing with depression but the nice thing about lucid dreaming is that it really gives you a sense of well-being for the rest of the day. I hope that may be of some help until things are back to normal and good luck to you! 🙂

And i know that’s hard too but if you can’t say it face to face write it down. You’re not alone. Heck even get meds if they help you there’s plant based ones that are safe. Let’s help each other through this.

[@itsalyssabtw]

A neighbor took his life yesterday while his family was home and it just shows how quarantine is driving people with depression and suicidal thoughts to the limit. People need reminders to stay calm and to keep everything around you good in a way that you won’t drive yourself into a deeper hole of depression

[@divideandconquerasia7051]

I hope he is resting in peace now. My condolences. As someone else already said: "It's not the social distancing that gives people anxiety. It's the uncertainty, it's the lack of support from government, lack of reassurance, financial struggle." If your neighbor already had a mental health problem, then it's a different story. That kind of suicide can happen anytime. I guess I'm lucky I'm an 'introvert'...? Stay strong and positive. It should be over soon.

"When you're feeling anxious, like you can't catch your breath, try to take a breath." What??

[@RustinChole]

She’s saying if you’re feeling weak, achy and short of breath, even after sitting and taking several deep breath’s, it’s probably the virus rather than a cold. The UW study showed it can occur in three sections. At first it’s like a flu, then you feel better but are still weak with a nasty cold, then you feel better for a day, then, if s fever sets in, that’s when the pneumonia starts. I’m in stage 3 now, I’m a healthy 40 year old, it sucks but I’m okay and isolated. Here’s the UW study: institutefordiseasemodeling.github.io/COVID-public/reports/Working%20paper%20%E2%80%93%20model-based%20estimates%20of%20COVID-19%20burden%20in%20King%20and%20Snohomish%20counties%20through%20April%207.pdf

[@RustinChole]

Highest at risk are the elderly, (60+) also, people with compromised immune systems, (on chemo meds, or anything that effects the kidneys) pregnant women, sever asthma sufferers, diabetics, etc. Symptom wise, you’re looking for a dry cough, (usually dry) low fever, achy joints, upset stomach, over all weakness, head ache, diarrhea. Call before going to an ER! Be safe. Get an extra 30 supply of meds (I just did myself, had to eat the out of pocket but there is a disruption in the chain of supply especially for generic drugs, which are mostly made in China and India).

[@briankaul1201]

LOL

[@artyomxiii]

Relax. She's just saying that maybe not everything when you have shortness of breath was from coronavirus. It might come from something else like anxiety so just need to relax and try to control mind and breath. If it's not working then you can seek out professional help. Listen carefully the full sentence don't cut it in the middle like she's saying something wrong 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️ 😪😪

Geoffrey, true, it will be never be like before.... do you know that Jesus is coming back soon? Are you ready? Today is the day of salvation, choose LIFE (Jesus) before it's too late. It won't be long now until the great tribulation of 7 years starts (the last 7 yearsof the world as it is now, and Jesus will save His followers before the great tribulation starts ), all the signs of the times are pointing towards this, and Jesus is your only hope for salvation, so I'm begging you to ask God to open your eyes and to consider these words from God's Word carefully: "Jesus said , “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me." (John 14:6) "...if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes and is justified, and with the mouth one confesses and is saved. For the Scripture says, “Everyone who believes in him will not be put to shame.” For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek; for the same Lord is Lord of all, bestowing his riches on all who call on him. For “everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.” (Romans 10:9-13) "But God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans 5:8) "Christ died for our sins in accordance with the Scriptures, He was buried, He was raised on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures" (1 Corinthians 15) For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast. (Ephesians 2:8-9) Jesus Christ said : “Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest.Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me; for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.

Ive attempted many times and survived but my body did experience damage (luckily not permanent) but it is very painful physically and the mental hospital is not a fun place to either. Usually when i feel very suicidal what i do is sleep. It’s like im “dead” but not really as I’m alive but its works for me at least and for the time being I can wait it out until the feeling gets less intense and I’m able to cope a little better and think more clearly. You can do this. Its okay to feel hopeless but don’t try to hurt yourself physically. If you can try to treat yourself to something you like, like a favorite tv show, movie, song, food etc. it wont make you happy forever but it could make you feel a little better in the moment and remind you what you’ll miss out forever if you were to die.

That's why you have to teach your children the beauty of life, not buying things and making money. Go for walks to appreciate nature, read books, play games, talk about imaginary things, let them learn an instrument and / or sport they get into. All this will help them in crisis like this.

[@NoyzRose492]

Zinka, how are you doing now? do you know that Jesus is coming back soon? Are you ready? Today is the day of salvation, choose LIFE (Jesus) before it's too late. It won't be long now until the great tribulation of 7 years starts (the last 7 yearsof the world as it is now, and Jesus will save His followers before the great tribulation starts ), all the signs of the times are pointing towards this, and Jesus is your only hope for salvation, so I'm begging you to ask God to open your eyes and to consider these words from God's Word carefully: "Jesus said , “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me." (John 14:6) "...if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes and is justified, and with the mouth one confesses and is saved. For the Scripture says, “Everyone who believes in him will not be put to shame.” For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek; for the same Lord is Lord of all, bestowing his riches on all who call on him. For “everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.” (Romans 10:9-13) "But God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans 5:8) "Christ died for our sins in accordance with the Scriptures, He was buried, He was raised on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures" (1 Corinthians 15) For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast. (Ephesians 2:8-9) Jesus Christ said : “Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest.Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me; for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.

[@sarassentiments]

social isolation let us call it what it is

[@thenaturalpeoplesbureau]

Every single aspect of the socalled measures, attacks directly human interaction and the feeling of being connected. Social distancing and isolation, the wearing of masks (certain groups like aspergers now have even more difficult time reading faces) might cause also problems for people with asthma, or generate a feeling of suffocation (perceived). It seems as if the government just needed any other cause to cause more isolation and misery. The attack on the human rights (freedom of assembly, etc) also takes a toll, and curfew in some countries might actually give you the impression that there is a war going on. I myself feel not that much discomfort, but i can see the change in peoples demeanor, and behaviour, and i find it ruthless how compassion is turned into tyranny, xenophobia and fear. The press actually intensifies the hysteria and XENOPHOBIA by turning most people into OCD cleanlyness freaks, which are disgusted by any person they dont know (the other). I personally see many parallels with 911 or the Reichstagsbrand when the NSDAP took over. Big Pharma has become a very great threat to mankind.

@@rari2xx alright i get it i get it you didn't develop ocd, don't worry im going through the same exact thing right now feels like im going crazy 'cause i can't control this obsessive thoughts that came up after a while in quarantine they're called intrusive thoughts, look it up on the internet they're just thoughts the brain decides to pay more attention to (due to the anxiety and stress that overwhelms us in quarantine) like "omg i never had this thought what if it's dangerous? what if it's real? what ifs and what ifs" that link a strong emotional response of fear to that thought that's why the brain keeps remembering and rehearsing it, trying to figure out why did that pop up and a trying to find a solution the lack of daily stimuli in life makes people like us, who probably think a lot already, think intrusive thoughts as soon as normal life starts again you'll get distracted and never think about that again as an alarming thought so for now, just try not to care too much about it do things you like, keep yourself busy it can't eat you, so stomp on it and forget it you're not gay and you're going to laugh about this fear in some time from now

[@ronjamac]

For a country such as USA with a population of say 330 million and an average life span of 78 years, to maintain this population size then 4,230,769 must be born and die each year. That is equivalent to 11,583 deaths/births per day. Until the number of deaths due to the corona virus approaches anywhere near even a tenth of this number per day, surely there is absolutely no need for panic or even large concern.
