I am sorry you are feeling down. Remember getting daily exercise and going outside can help with your mental health. There are residual affects from pandemic time that our bodies and minds are still stying to overcome.

Well, I can't say if it causes depression, but yes, I do experience more depression working from home. I balance it out by making sure I make it outside for a walk or to see friends at least once a day.

It helps me feel better when I get out to go to work. Without it I wouldn't hardly leave my house. With depression the last thing you want to do is stay at home all the time.

Oh, my God, it does. I think after all these quarantines, it's pretty clear. It's awful, it's just awful. I've been dealing with it, too. The only thing that saves me, to be honest, is shopping. A couple of times a month I go in, order a couple hundred worth of stuff, and somehow I feel better. I like to buy all the Desiner brands. I recently bought men's outdoor gloves. I think this is my favorite site, very high quality clothing

Hi there,

i completely understand where you are comming from. The transition to working from home can bring about a lot of changes, and it is not uncommon for it to affect our health. i've personally experienced similar feelings of depression and isolation since starting to work motely.
Take care
@Annon1234 @Alex123 @LisaKa @hamkid21 @Aliyah @Oldblue72 @terifin @Remlisae @Samatha_lea What do you think ?

Yeah, working from home can definitely mess with your mood. It's easy to feel isolated and disconnected from the world when you're stuck indoors all day. I've found that making sure to take regular breaks, getting outside when I can, and staying connected with coworkers helps a lot.

Hi,

I'm sorry to hear that you've been feeling depressed. Working from home can definitely have its challenges, especially during these unprecedented times. It's important to prioritize your mental health and seek support if you're struggling. Have you considered talking to a therapist or counselor about how you're feeling? Sometimes, just having someone to talk to can make a big difference. Remember, you're not alone, and there are resources available to help you feel better.
