Sock puppets gotta eat too, though he seems to be hoarding those cars. Save some for the other puppets dude!
We all know how beneficial laughter is to our bodies and states of mind. However, it’s not the only way to protect your mental health. Especially if you’re staying at home and distancing yourself socially.
Bored Panda reached out to Mind, a UK mental health charity, to learn more about staying mentally fit during the coronavirus lockdowns we’re seeing around the globe.
Stephen Buckley, the Head of Information at Mind, explained that media coverage may increase people’s concern about the coronavirus, therefore, you should think about “taking a break or limiting how much you read or watch is helpful to maintain your well-being during this time.”
Most of us are guilty of following every tiny update about the coronavirus pandemic. But it’s far from healthy. It leads to anxiety. It leads to low-key panic. It leaves us mentally and emotionally drained. Though it’s important to stay informed, try to limit the amount of time you spend reading the news, especially stories about the ‘Coronapocalypse.’ Also, try to stick to reputable news sources so you don’t get worried over misinformation.
Staying mentally fit also means reducing the amount of time you spend scrolling through social media. After all, nearly everyone’s writing and posting about the coronavirus at the moment. You deserve a break from all of that. The good news is that sites like Twitter offer you the ability to mute certain keywords, to follow or mute accounts that might be making you anxious. So use those tools to filter your social media feed and go for wholesome news stories.
Even my introverted hiney has a limit. At some point I will need some kind of human contact to remain sane. I mean, just a little, but still.

I've been working from home for 10 years and one can get a bit 'hermitey" but once I adopted Zoe, everything changed. I HAVE to take her out and I've met some really nice folks at the dog park. There are allot of advantages working from home but the isolation can get to you.
I meet lots of other home-workers when out walking my dogs - I agree the isolation can get to you but right now I'm feeling so glad of it.

We have 2 ducks (male/female) that come daily to take a swim on our pool cover. It has definitely been the highlight of our day when they take thier daily swim!
I work this way for over 10 years. I am happy. Low social needs anyway.
i'm intrivert, still happy 2 weeks in, there's plenty books to read and i don't need to shave my legs which is bonus, heaven :)
*when you complain about something that some people are literally dying for
I'm an introvert that lives alone with my two dogs. They are still going to daycare every day because they have to maintain their routine. I have been working from home since last week. I am going freaking insane. I never thought I would miss the annoying three televisions loudly playing the SAME news station, the four male voices competing to be the loudest (I'm the only female) or someone hacking, coughing and sneezing outside my door just to annoy me and hear me yell, "get out of here and keep that c**p to yourself!!" Being home all day actually sucks, because I don't get to COME HOME TO the quiet sanctuary of my home and chill with the dogs. I'm in a damned tomb listening to the birds waiting for the giants come along and close me in. I thought, as an introvert, this would be a piece of cake. Not so. I don't like spending a lot of time with large numbers of people. However, working in a small office with only a few others is actually the perfect fit for me. I miss that.
When people go back to the office, a common complaint will be: "That meeting could have been an email."
I've been working from home for about nine years now. I'm fine - I share my garden office with my dogs. Always a distraction!
Didn't realize I missed other people's voices till I talked on the phone with a coworker!
I've been in stage 1 for 2 years. I don't think I'll ever leave that stage.
According to Buckley, some people might find that staying at home alone might not be ideal. “So try to think of alternatives, for example staying with a friend or family member. You can also keep up to date with the current government health advice about whether you need to self-isolate.”
If you’re self-isolating, first of all, congratulations on making a smart decision. Well done. Unfortunately, quarantining yourself might be a bit, well, lonely. So keep connected to the people you care about by phoning, messaging, and emailing them regularly. We’re social animals, after all. Take away the social aspect and what are we left with?
Yep. Tech and video conferencing - who actually needs offices really? Very few jobs need to be held in buildings where you are all penned together these days.
Finally, remember the basics. Eat well, drink plenty of water, exercise regularly. Read a good book, maybe practice meditating as well. If anything, this crisis is the perfect opportunity to reexamine your priorities (and maybe even start a new hobby!). Above all, remember to laugh and smile a lot. Having a good sense of humor is going to help immensely in the months to come.
“Our physical and mental health are linked, so make sure you are eating regularly and drinking enough water,” Buckley explained. “Think about getting food delivered or asking someone else to drop food off for you. Being at home might impact your routine which can affect your appetite and when you drink water. It can help to create a new routine to make sure you are looking after yourself.”
Buckley stressed the importance of staying active and keeping your mind stimulated. “Keep your brain occupied and challenged. Set aside time in your routine for this. Read books, magazines and articles. Listen to podcasts, watch films and do puzzles.”
Yep, sorry anti-vaxxers. Though to be honest I'd give you a pass and let you have the vaccine (if you wanted it) because it would help OTHERS be safe.
Nah - stopped believing a long time ago that the world knows it's in a new year and that it magically resets.
Not your average flu ooh, better stay in your home. Not your average flu ooh, this is not the time to roam.

Been downvoted whenever I repeat from briefings with the infectious disease specialist at work, so I'll stick to this: I had ordered goofy socks, new kitchen towels, and ant traps from Amazon. The box arrived two days late, with a note from someone saying they had stolen it hoping for Covid19 supplies. Finding none, they decided to let me have the box and its contents, and a brief apology in the note.
Some of these are pretty funny... some, not so much. But as an Asian with allergies... Slide1-5e7...a8b5d2.png 
Talked with my white 78 yr old down-the-block-neighbor who thought is was a good time to ask me my racial heritage. I told him bi-racial, black and anglo (why does spell check keep changing anglo to angry?) but I was raised to identify as African American. He proceeds to tell me what he thinks about blacks with dred-locks (dumb a******s) and about his fears that the isolation will cause people in the cities to go crazy with break-ins and such before moving on to the Florida Keys and his place (unlikely in my estimation). I listened, surprisingly unoffended - I really did like - something about the guy. I asked him what he thought the color of the face of these break-in artists was? "black" he said. I told him he was far too fearful and quit watching Fox News. In an effort to redeem himself he pointed out that the thieves were Haitian not African-American - I guess he wanted me to share in his fears. Oh well. Some days six feet will not be enough.
All years that end in 20 starting from 1520 have had big diseases -,_-
It amazes me people are still trying to be productive and go to work. Really underscores the inability of most people to think outside the box of capitalism. Folks need to just go home, ride the couch for a few weeks, netflix and chill. Stop trying to do things. Just be. We are human beings, not human doings
"...think outside the box of capitalism" he says, and then suggests we watch Netflix and f**k. Netflix is capitalism, you dummy.
