As someone who is about 4 months into their first remote job I can speak to this. It is so easy to turn into a hermit with a remote job, especially if you're the type of person that is usually fine with being alone. Unfortunately, I took for granted daily office interactions and didn't make a lot of efforts to go out. I began to notice about 2 months in that social interactions (even work ones) became a lot more difficult. I would have more anticipation anxiety to things like demoing work I've done as an example. I still haven't taken care of the problem yet, but I know the solution is just to get out and interact with people more even if it is meetups or something. The other problem is that it is really easy to have a weird and unhealthy schedule if your work doesn't require you keep core hours. I've had periods of time where I was just working from 7pm to 3-4am. I fixed that recently though. Point is, remote jobs require some degree of self discipline. I would not actually recommend it for people who struggle with anxiety or depression unless they're willing to make an active effort to get out, otherwise they will just exacerbate their symptoms.
