You have to set up your own "canaries in a mine" to be able to objectively judge you own mental health. For example, we know that exercise is good. So, set up a daily exercise routine. Set up a couple of more daily routines. Then, if you find yourself not doing these two or three routines that are good for you, it is an objective warning that all is not well. As far as stress from school or such, one of the most important life lesson is to learn to differentiate (triage) the demands that others place on you and not pay so much attention to the ones that are unimportant. Yes, there may be consequences for not meeting all expectations, but if you meet the ones that are important to you, you will be way ahead of the game. Finally, know this, you are not alone. Consider this post as my virtual reaching out to you. I stand with you buddy.

It's not anyone's place to force others to behave safely all because of their own selfish desire to feel safe.

In addition; I've had some homicidal thoughts a few times too. It's crazy how much I see others as threats to my happiness. Ever since I've started going to church and having interactions with people, I found out that people can be surprisingly friendly. Update: Months after the pandemic ended, I feel so much more like my VERY long lost goofy hyper self than I did before the pandemic! The power of finally getting your meds right😂!
It's been over a year now since I have found it difficult to think about the future. This pandemic has shed some light upon the type of society we live in. I have strong fears that people are growing apart from each other, living careless lives that impact in a negative way ones that are trying to make a difference. Each day I find fewer and fewer reasons to be part of the self-destructing race, that we have become. Positive examples are very hard to find, but still, I try not to lose the small amount of hope I have...

It made the anger, sadness, and fear worse. I feel like I no longer have a spark in life, and I want to quit my job, drop out of school, and end my dreams of wanting to be a pediatrician.

To be honest the truth is, lonelyness dont relate to pandemic, theres sooo soo many people feels lonely even before pandemic. Friendship or true social bonding will still going well if both side agree and invest effort to connect... even via skype call.

You have to learn to let go. That's what I did. It took me about three weeks to let go of all my dreams, plans, and expectations which I had many of. I had invested a lot of time, effort, and money in what I planed to do. I let it all go and started living in the present. There is a certain amount of freedom in just letting go and adapting to the present. What always comes to my mind is Madonna's song "Like a Prayer", where she starts off by saying "Life is a mystery. Everyone must stand alone." So, here I am, I don't know what the future will bring. I just know that I will grit my teeth and push on no mater what.

Yes but it had such an impact on young people. I feel that people are still mentally damaged by it
In the past 2 years I have developed substance abuse that I'm now recovering from... I use to be very fit and worked out and unfortunately have became very depressed and rarely went outside enough to get tan, workout and have lost a lot of friends and became very very depressed overall, I have gained weight and gave up on talents I use to love like artwork and photography. But I'm still here and I'm still fighting and taking it one day at a time, I found journaling, becoming spiritual, and voice calls while gaming has helped me.

Trying going out to more social spaces, like the beach, or a park, or even the gym you used to go to. I figure that dedicating more time with otehrs and learning new things from them is more rewarding than doing it alone. Also your friends would be more than happy to see you again if you pull yourself together and get out there.
To be honest at times I deny the fact that I am lonely and depressed. Believe it or not it helps sometimes. But is solitude really bad? Every individual is different.
People with schizophrenia experience al lot of social isolation and loneliness during non-lockdown times. With the lockdown these feelings are greatly magnified.
Perhaps this will make people more empathetic to mental health issues.
I bought a good road bike and it helped me a lot.
Me who has experienced all these feelings all my life: noobs.
I was 16 when it started, 19 when it ended. The years that are supposed to be the years of your life were non existent for us 03 kids. Those years went by in a flash. Now almost 20 and feel like I haven’t aged a day. It scares me. Especially seeing people I knew from high school struggling with life, jobs’…. .Like am I supposed to take care of all these things??? Iam still 16 haha .Now in college switching degrees constanly. Life sucks.

Yes it can be psychosomatic, I have the same issues. Chest pain sometimes, sometimes fast heartbeat, sometimes feeling I can't breath etc. Try yoga, doesn't magically make axiety go away but it really helped me when doing regularly. I live in a room without windows in a kost(Indonesian appartments consisting of one room and a bath), and last year my depression got really bad, I lost 3 friends and couldnt sleep anymore, lockdown, and also my living situation sucked etc. I started yoga 30min daily and played more guitar and it really helped me. Also, talk about your mental stuff with your friends, etc,dont keep it for yourself.. All the best for you❤️

Feeling it right this moment, can confirm.
Been stuck inside for 2 months with a broken ankle. My mental state is not good.
Am I the only one also worried about social life/love life being delayed? At this point, I feel like I'll never have friends, never fall in love, and just die alone. Sorry for being grim but spending over a year in on and off snap lockdowns has just stolen so much from me. I'm 20 years old and I feel like I've experienced nothing and like I am so behind.

My main situation began in 2014. My income, career and social life ended. On disability and fighting every day to sale my belongings, so i can survive
Was struggling with mental health, still am.
"Do you have any idea how little that narrows it down"
I am an ICU nurse and I had to call in sick last week. it is all so hopeless for us younger people. and in younger I mean the age where you have a very low chance of severe covid. I was 40 when covid came and after about a month it was clear who needed hospital care and the anxiety for myself waned. since then i have felt the mandates and lockdowns have slowly destroyed my mental health. it is hard enough to work in plastic and masks all day in closed patient rooms with more patients and less nurses every wave AND homescholing my kid with no means to load up on energy with dinner and a movie, a vacation, shopping spree etc. and all for a virus that is like the flu for people my age and the vaccines and lockdowns dont even help in the spread. but now politics is involved so it is no longer up to science and common sense any more and they are going to drag this out until they have what they want whatever that is...

the essentials
I'll correct the title: "How the government lockdown measures affect the mental health of young people" Unnatural societal conditions placed upon people cause mental health problems, not supposed invisible germs floating around.
*Someone’s gonna walk out of this pandemic wishing to destroy the world themselves, infuriated to an almost unholy degree. And that it is an even more terrifying thought.*
My routines made it easy for me to go through this. My mental health increased. I invested so much time and love in me. I learned new skills, started journaling, dancing and reading. I watched 24/7 documentaries. did a lot of workouts gained muscle mass by 8 kg. I dont know what you did but yall should definetly get some real hobbies and invest in your personal development !
I followed every rule and law to the t also. And realized strict rules are effectiving mental health. Gen z is the young generation your referring to not millennial. Yes we have mental health issues suicide rates higher than previous gens. Between being misunderstood by older people and having mental health in general misunderstood it's no surprise. Only addicts and sometimes bipolar are dangerous. Most people with mental illness aren't violent but vulnerable especially youth and elderly. Youth are not dangerous that is a misconception based on misunderstanding. The elderly are also very effected. Let's work together not against each other people with mental illness, physical illness are still people and part of our communities let's treat them as such please.
I started reading books pertaining to death during pandemic. This was the greatest way to just break free from all the fears that ever exists.
I am alone but I feel not lonely . . .
Vaccinate vulnerable groups with the utmost urgency, then open up for young people for their mental well-being. Germany doesn't prioritise either.

Financial planning should be taught to people right from when they were young. The desperation and panic attacks people have is that they cannot live earn and buy things. They should be taught to buy things very judiciously right from the young age. All nations are just building consumeristic economies forgetting the socio -psycho impact of the divide and pseudo uncertainty that money brings. Humans before the post modern world have always been poor and succeeded in living.
before the pandemic i had loads of friends, i loved going out and doing something, simply sitting in a chair playing video games all day was boring to me, i loved video games, but i wasnt something i liked spending all my time doing. when Covid started our school placed our grade into groups and the large majority of my friends were in other groups, and so i lost contact with them and havent really talked to them since. And to put the cherry on top, when we had recess different groups had different areas of the school, and we were restricted from going to other areas. Our school only had 2 days where we had homeschool and three days at school, because the virus wasnt in my town. At home i could luckily work with some of my friends, two specifically. We had a routine of working together, and we're still very good friends to this day, so i guess something good came out of this pandemic(for me). The only friends i really have left(theyre good friends mind you, im just talking about those i lost contact with) are those from my group(and those i talked about earlier)My social life was destroyed because of this horrible virus and its only become worse since. I know it might seem like i shouldnt be complaining when 6 million people actually died from this virus, which is way worse, but im not implying that my problems are worse, im just sharing my experience.
What language is that??

A kind friend of mine just passed away days ago due to heart attack. Those who know him, incld me, are devastated by the news. Yesterday, I received a letter from government indicating one of my siblings has passed on. What I am trying to say to the young people out there, is not to give up. Find a hobby, volunteer work or speak to a right friend about your issue. My music, my spouse & my cats are my support.

I dropped out of college because of Covid. I still am out of school and don’t look forward on going back anytime soon because of the pandemic. I can’t have that mental stress also being accompanied with college work. It’s not worth it. At least during this pandemic. Currently looking for investments to make for the long run.
