Dealing with Boredom and Loneliness During the Pandemic

I wanted to come on and add some resources that have been helping me with dealing with the current situation of social distancing and isolation. I know that as an extroverted people person, this has been a trial for me and finding ways to connect with others has been key. Phone calls, zoom meetings, and constant text messaging have all helped me to continue feeling sane and comforted.

Some resources that I have been personally using include:

*Facetime, zoom and google hangout video calls.

*Making ‘dates’ with friends to virtual do activities together. My best friend and I have watched movies at the same time while on the phone together. I also have ‘auntie time’ with my nephews and my nieces, where I just watch them play.

*Playing games with friends. I am currently playing Words with Friends and Evil Apples. Both available on iphone and Android.
