I see it all over social media. People are going stir crazy from having to stay home. I was dealing with so much anxiety before this stay at home order that while at work I was having anxiety attacks. I am still getting them but they are not as bad. Anyway I wish there were a way where I did not have to go back out there everyday when this ends and things return to normal. Now that I know that it’s a possibility and it works it’s going to frustrate me all the more when I have to go to therapy appointments this in person , go back into the office etc. I wish I could just stay in my home forever. I can’t believe how much it’s improved my mental status. Is anyone else discovered the same.

I do like staying at home, but I don't like having to do so (and I hate the reason).. so not really

I'm quite content staying home, doesn't bother me the least and I love knowing that no one will be stopping by. If I didn't think it too decadent I would wear pjs everyday all day. I have enough pjs to change into a fresh one everyday and only wash clothes every two weeks.

I actually do wear my pajamas every day but I promised myself that I would get up shower and change pajamas each day but I am perfectly content being in them I don’t have any video conferences I just work on the phone so it’s all good for me!

I only itch to go outside if I haven't been out in two weeks. I can survive with staying home otherwise. So, this lockdown stuff does not affect me all that much, as long as i go for a drive or get fresh air some other way. And I do not need to be out for long. 30 mins will do just fine.

ditto this post
plus: staying at home is basically my life in a nutshell

even the restriction they have here you're only allowed out once per day for exercise doesn't really bother me- most days I don't even make it out that 1 time.

Being home is not a change for me, since I've been on disability for a long time. I like being home, but I do enjoy seeing people. Before the pandemic, I would run errands and get my socialization that way. Just in bits. I'll admit that I haven't run as many errands in recent weeks.

Hubby has been working from home for some weeks now. I love him at home, but still like my alone time, so I spend much of the day in my bedroom or downstairs in the kitchen. I visit him in his home office and we are together for all meals and for a walk, or a brief time on our deck. Sometimes he takes breaks and we cuddle. Sometimes I wish I had the whole house to myself a bit more. I need that more than he seems to. That is actually a bit of an adjustment, but not a big one. Like wildchildflower posted, our state closed all parks yesterday (or the day before). That sucks! Now we only have our deck and streets/sidewalks to walk on.

I'm rarely home, even now. I like to keep busy. I'm still working, seeing my arms worker twice a week. Everything else is telehealth. But no i don't like it, it's not healthy, and I'm thinking of moving back to mom's for a while.

No, not feeling comfortable staying home. I feel like I'm going to kick a wall down. What's weird is that I am a home body and tend to remain at home. I like being home, under normal conditions. It's the being forced that freaks me out.
