I get overloaded with normal social situations, have OCD and spatial / distancing issues, even without the current pandemic complications. Most of my psychiatric support contacts recognise that extreme rumination about one or other factors that have disturbed me, a common trait in autism, makes the depressive effect spiral out of control, and after a phone chat, to try and find something to take my mind off the stressor, in my case, read some comics, play a non-violent video game, listen to some relaxing music (no Slipknot in these circumstances). And, I often visit or post on the boards as another more interactive, social form of distraction.
So, that’s a constructive reason for staying on here in these worrying times.
