How to Beat Loneliness During COVID-19
You are not alone if you are stressed, sad, or lonely as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. We’ve all felt the effects of social isolation, especially since India’s stay-at-home orders went into effect.
Isolation can have long-term negative effects on your mental health, but there is good news: staying connected with people who care about you is easier than ever.
The Effects of Isolation
Nearly half of those polled in India said they felt lonely even before COVID-19. Because of COVID-19, that number is only expected to rise, and it’s well known that loneliness has a significant impact on mental health. It contributes to depression, anxiety, and stress, and it can make it difficult to get a good night’s sleep.
Furthermore, loneliness can have a negative impact on your physical health. To put things in perspective, studies show that feeling lonely is just as bad for your health as smoking 15 cigarettes every day. It has twice the impact on the human body as obesity, increasing your risk of health complications such as heart disease and stroke.
Those are all frightening statistics, especially in light of the current health crisis. The main thing to keep in mind is that you are not alone. Everyone is thinking the same things you are, and they are worried about the same things you are. We’re all in this together, and we’ll all make it through if we stick together.
When you’re feeling socially isolated and lonely, it’s critical to look after your mental health.
