Lockdown depression :(

[iamsheikhadil]

Is anyone having depression because of Lockdown?

I am having a really sad mood all the time and also scared of nothing many a times. I also am very much addicted to anti anxiety pills (prescribed) and during lockdown I have to take double to suppress it down. I dont go outdoors much even before lockdown but the little I did has stopped. College has stopped. Nothing feels good.

You need someone to talk to about your worries. Open up to your family and be honest of what you've been going through even before this lockdown happened.

We're having diffuculties during this time but we need to stay positive in order to overcome depression.

This is sound advice, just talking about it will help. We don't know you well enough to give anything other than very vague and generally useful advice though. Just know that its understandable and normal, you shouldn't be embarrassed in the slightest, you're stressed out from the situation and it makes anxiety and depression more likely to happen even for people that've never dealt with it before.

Keep in mind, the lockdown and your depression are all temporary things, I know it sucks but at some date in the future you'll look back and realize that everything was fine. Just keep in mind that chances are good you are not in any sort of danger. The lockdown is about doing your part to help others that statistically might not be so lucky. If you're not in a high risk category, if you happened to get it, it'd likely just be a long lasting shitty cold.

I'm sorry with what you are experiencing, are you alone?

I think the pills that you are taking also give you the side effect with adds more feeling of being depressed while we're on lockdown. Cheer up, everything is going to be fine as soon as there's a vaccine.

Look to play for computer games, watch movies, or any leisure that can make you happy to lessen the depression you're feeling. I'm wishing you well and we will survive this crisis.

Nothing feels good.

It's okay not to be okay mate! Just move at your own pace and take your time to heal. Also, as lienfaye said,

You need someone to talk to about your worries. Open up to your family

or is your family one of the reasons why you're feeling that way? If it is, try talking to strangers, there are lots of online chatrooms or sites you can seek online help with. Just talking to someone that you can share your thoughts with without bias can be a lot of help. It worked like a charm for me, if you  want someone who'll listen to you without all the hassle send me a message, maybe I can help. Best regards mate!

Since you already have anxiety problem and take pills for that, you may feel depression more than the rest of the people. I think you should find some other ways to keep yourself busy, probably try to find new friends online or join the chatting sites and share your views online. But first you can also spend some time with your family members but it depends upon how much frank you're with them.

  thanks for the advises yeah I am passing time watching movies and stuffs, also by gambling  I think I overhyped when I said depression, it's not so intense, just sadness and stuff that is normal. I hope this epidemic passes soon and life returns to normal. Watching the death tolls is also so sad. Hope this is over soon

Being alone is not really the problem but how we spend the time when we are alone matters.If we keep scrolling internet all the day then surely we will get depressed so keep changing the things too often so you won't stick with anything for too long so you will never get bored and depressed.

There are a lot of things to do in order to feel better.
If you want company in those days you can arrange calls with your friends or family every day. This would make you feel less alone and will make you feel happier.
Also you can learn a new skill hobby and do what you like to do in order to spend your time creatively.

I'm glad to hear that. Because whenever someone is struggling with depression, it's a serious matter and it makes everyone worry.

Yes, we'll overcome this pandemic soon and it's just a matter of time and while we are at our homes, enjoy it.

I used to be depressed too, even though I usually eat healthy and exercise often.
I think hopelessness,sin and what we feed our minds with usually create the depression.
I repented, refocused on one true GOD (eat more healthy too), guard my mind, and every form depression or anxiety ceased completely.
I honestly wish you all the best and good things of life.

thanks for the advises

It is good to see that at least now you are smiling not like when you created this thread you seems very desperate and sad.

yeah I am passing time watching movies and stuffs, also by gambling 

and also try to chat some friends for socialization because you need more of that.

I think I overhyped when I said depression, it's not so intense, just sadness and stuff that is normal.

that is why we are much concern because we though this is depression and this can kill people seriously .

I hope this epidemic passes soon and life returns to normal. Watching the death tolls is also so sad. Hope this is over soon

and also hoping that after this pandemic you will go out more often and find people that you can trust on so there is no place for sadness like this again.

One of the most effective anti depression is to talk to someone close to you it could be your best friend ,your family or online friends. Talk about happy things ang happy moments,try to divert your mind to all good things in life, forget about worrying and smile a lot. Eat comfort foods you like,do some exercise too. Just do what makes you happy.

Looking at bright side of the pandemic.
It's a good time for the coffin business.

I think I don't feel depressed because I am enjoying my time while in the lockdown in my city. I think you need to calm down for a while and believe that this moment will not stay for a long time. Remember that it will be end soon, and you don't need to feel depressed. We all have this experience at this moment, but we need to calm ourselves down so we can think clearly about what we need to do this time. Maybe you need to go out of your homes but don't go to the public area. You can go out in your yard, and feel the air, have a cup of coffee in the yard while you can talk to yourself that you are so lucky now because you can survive so far, and you can survive until this is over.

Theres little to no room for depression in my life.   
Learn a new skill or try something new during these times of boredom. 

[Zeehaxan]

You are not alone but it is the same for all of us, even i have seen reports of marriages being broken and severe fights between family members as well, so things are not looking good because staying home is tough and stress levels seem to be high because everyone is forced to stay inside all the time. I just hope and pray that the next month will bring the good news of the defeat of corona virus from all over the world.
