Under Construction - MHWA Challenge

I understand why you are closing this but it has a place for those of us with mental issues. I posted in 'newsfeed' just now:

Please do NOT send me a "Stay at Home" merit badge. I've already informed friends: "I realize that you have good intentions but this badge really hurts. I would return it if I could. Sorry." This badge depresses me. 1. Travel = movement = life. I am not at home by choice. I had planned to travel. I came home to rest not to die. This imposed isolation is not restful. 2. I need human contact. The internet is NOT enough. I need real hugs. Virtual ones don't count no matter how well intended. 3. At the best of times, friends and family do not visit me, do not call. Most of you have no clue how lonely this is. 4. My place feels like a cruise ship without a way to properly avoid people since we share toilets and showers. I feel trapped. 5. "happy, happy, cheerful, cheerful" only depresses me further. I don't need to be cheered up when I'm angry. I need to be acknowledged where I'm at, not where you would like me to be ... No one here is wishing me ill, but this badge triggers crap, so please STOP!

My rant doesn't come close to how I'm feeling. My experience? If I'm feeling this then I'm not alone. Others are finding this time stressful in ways that has little to do with TP or 401k plans.
