Social Distancing v Isolation

By (user no longer on site) OP over a year ago

Fed up reading in Newspapers and seeing on TV people going out for exercise, shopping etc and then claiming that time in isolation is not good for their mental health..

You are not in isolation. You are social distancing... isolation is not being able to go out your front door for 7.5 weeks, being unable to see your kids..

Rant over..

Celebrities making themselves look stupid in all of this.

I don’t think it’s fair to compare situations. Mental health can be affected in any circumstance.

If you were to stub your toe, it doesn’t stop hurting because someone somewhere else has broken their leg.

I think ‘being kind’ should be extended to EVERYONE, and people should be free from judgement of others.

Absolutely!

You never know someone's situation, just because they have a pool or they are rich does not mean they are happy and free of mental health issues.

Anyone can suffer with that

Exactly.

To be fair, I'm coping just fine in this situation. But I know I would be a lot better if I had loads of land to keep me busy and not having to worry about paying next months rent.

I'd like to be able to sit at home and think, oh you know what, I'm going to order £1000 worth of gym equipment to my house or I'm going into my huge back yard and I'm going sort all them s out etc

Absolutely. I'm not saying that no celebrities have mental health issues or aren't affected by this, but how many are worried about being able to pay the bills this month? How many are having to make the choice between when to eat themselves and when to feed their kids because they don't have enough food? How many are desperate to get back to work to earn money, but petrified of having to use busy public transport to get there? How many have absolutely no outside space and a small home so are literally looking at the same four walls every day? I'm guessing that not many celebrities will be experiencing these types of worries on top of the missing people, not being allowed out etc that are affecting us all.

I have a few thoughts about this. A person’s personal circumstances do not predict or predicate the degree to which they might suffer from mental health issues. The idea that wealthy people suffer less, or poor people suffer more, might seem obvious, but it isn’t the truth. Not then when it comes to mental health. Mental distress is not a comparable condition, it has no respect for wealth or family, fame or status. I suffered severe mental and emotional abuse at the hands of others, so much so that it pushed me to brink of suicide. Twice. Would it have been easier if I was rich? No. No amount of money would have changed anything, or lessoned the scars, trigger and vulnerabilities I have been left with. My personal circumstances don’t affect anything. What does matter is the kindness, compassion, respect, patience, understanding, and - in my case - the forgiveness of others. This has real value, and makes a much bigger difference than money ever could.
