It’s been five months for me, since the day after I graduated.
Bruh. Why are you doing this? Severe vitamin D deficiency will make you wish for death. You legitimately NEED sunlight on your skin…
How do you get groceries? How do you make money?
Do you want to leave the house? (And can you sustainably never leave the house)
If youre destined for the basement life, live it. Dont let these haters take away what joy you can find during this painful life we are all forced into.
Just be sure to do what you can to take care of yourself.
Look up body weight exercises you can do inside without equipment. And you dont even have to set aside time if you do them while you’re waiting for something. Microwaving food? 4 minutes of push-ups or planks. Got a few minutes while your game loads or something? Stretch. Little things can add up.
If you you drink or take drugs, make sure you drink your homework water and to give yourself time to recover before partying more.
Dont wanna diet? Fine, but make one meal healthy like a salad or oatmeal so your chimkin nuggies pass through your body within a week.
Or don’t. Its your life. Youre in charge. Do whatever
Very good advice! I have a tendency to be a shut in and during the covid-19 pandemic it was at an all time high. I learned that my mental wellbeing is helped if I sort of divvy up my living space into areas where certain things are done and others are not. Eating in one place, games in another, sleep in another, etc. Just in case that is applicable and/or helpful to anyone.
I left the house just for you
Thank you :o
I don’t remember exactly but I do know it’s been maybe about a month.
A few hours. Went for a walk to the servo to get some energy drinks. The only time I usually leave the house is when my SW’s are taking me places, which is twice a week.
I am sorry for you OP that you have to go through this. I hope that you’re followed by a mental health professional which can help you. 5 month without leaving the house is entering in the hikikomori territory. I wish I could give you relevant advices, but I assume all the simple advise simply won’t work (Just like you can’t just tell someone with a broken leg to keep running)
If you get better and can go out again, what do you wish to do ? Is there a sport/hobby you want to try ? Is it available in your city ? is there a language you want to learn ?
More than six months. And I am going back, just on the way. Then I found there is no one waiting for me 😥
Literally how? I leave the house and I don’t even have any place to go.
A few hours. My employer feels it’s important that I sit in front of my computer in their building, rather than in my home.
I haven’t been home for several days.
I’d also look into leaving the house, even if it is to just walk around the neighborhood.
Every day. I have a dog and a job so staying inside isnt an option
Yesterday. I work Monday-fri
most recently, i left the apartment to take the trash down to the dumpster this afternoon.
It’s been a few days and that was just going somewhere with my family as my Mum is looking for old magazine for inspiration for sewing. She thought it be better than just trying do out a pin board on Pinterest as she felt she needs to know what she is roughly looking for in the first place compared just flipping through the magazines.
But just want to say as someone that also suffer with depression, I do feel you that it is difficult to leave the house. I find for me, trying find clubs or activities neary area did help a bit of getting me outside a little bit.
