The importance of checking in on people during quarantine
June 9, 2020
During these tough times, I want to express how important it is to check in on people during quarantine. There are many people who suffer from anxiety, depression, or paranoia. Those are some of the people you should check in on. It is very difficult for a lot of us to stay positive through these times however one positive comment can change a person’s mood drastically! Mental health can be impacted by many things and quarantine will impact a lot of people negatively. There are people who count on school to get 2 or 3 meals a day and there are people who count on school to get social time. A lot of us already suffer from social anxiety so quarantine isn’t going to help us at all. We need to reach out to those friends as much as possible to keep them comfortable when things start to go back to normal. There is also a lot of stress and anxiety that comes with quarantine and a lot of people start to over think and it mentally exhausts them so if you have friends that are usually over then you should check up on them regularly so they know everything will be okay.

I agree that we should check in on people during quarantine. I think it is especially important to check on the people that are taking extra precaution or mentally ill. I also agree that it is important to be as positive as possible around these people and make as many positive comments as we can.

I agree with this article so much! I can really connect with the people who are struggling with mental health issues through quarantine. Especially when people have nowhere to stay because of family issues.

I agree with you on this subject especially because every person will respond differently to quarantine. Some people might become more closed off to people or long for social interaction. Some people also might become anxious like you said.

i totally agree that people should be checking in on each other during quarantine. it’s very important to check up on the people you are close with or not because you could never know whats going one in their life and they could be struggling. i also agree that quarantine can affect your mental health negatively.
