- Connect with others talk to your friends ,family members at least once everyday ,tell them that you are worried about them ,trust me there is no shame in looking for comfort in others during a time of crisis
- If you dont have a habit of writing your feelings and thoughts down ,now is a good time ,trust me this helps .I used to do this during the time when I had suicidal thoughts and depression , it helped alot .
- Exercise at home ,exercising have many benefits to the mental well being. I know you are trapped in and you cant even go to the gym ,but working out at home can actually be helpful . All you have to do is do some push ups ,go for a jog (if its allowed by law ) ,and do some weights ( you can get some weights from the kmart or something ,)
