It's interesting how many posts I can think back and identify with on here. This was me a while ago, but ya know without lock-down.
>The excuse of covid has only made justifications against self improvement easier.
Recognize that and address that problem in the tiniest way possible. For me, when I was at one of the lowest parts of my life, I started flossing every night. It was literally the only new habit I hated to do that I added to my life at the time. It cascaded to working out and a lot more self improvement. I ABHOR structure in my life, but I also very much need it. If you're anything like me, set something small up and keep that structure while you figure out new and awesome things you like to do.
Group activities also worked well for me but aren't for everyone. For me it was DND and Rugby. One I did online, and the other isn't really an option right now.
Good luck, and I hope things get better. I can't imagine COVID hitting when I was in similar place mentally.
- MivLives 6y ago> I ABHOR structure in my life, but I also very much need it. This hits the nail on the head. Someone on Reddit suggested like... basically doing as much cleaning as you can in five minutes. The lack of need to be perfect at it really helps hide the work, and I've been doing it every six or so hours awake. This isn't my first bout of depression and the slog to get out is real. The biggest difference this time around is I don't feel hopeless. I'm tired, I'm cramped in but I'm confident this will end.
