Being stuck at home is driving my suicidal thoughts in over drive. Earlier I would try keep the thoughts at bay by going out for walks or meet friends etc. Now its unbearable. I can't stand it any more .. Feel like crying all the time ... Don't know how will I cope with this.. I don't have SN which is my method else one of these days would have been it for me. ... Sorry for venting .

I'm lucky to not have lockdown of that extent, apologies. Do you play video games? Several are coming free to Steam due to the virus, so that could be something. Perhaps, you could do other basic exercises to take your mind off of it? I know it isn't the same as walking, with all the scenery, but possibly. Gyms, restaurants, and others are all closed, so when I get an "AHA!" moment to go somewhere, I realize I can't actually do it. So it still sucks. Sympathies!

Yeah, NC is tightening restrictions and many cities and towns as well as counties have already had orders to stay in shelter and at home. A lot of things have basically grinded to a halt at this time (personal projects and hobbies that I have yet to finish, some of which require access to public facilities to do so). However, I am spending more time on here while this pandemic passes (which I believe, in the coming months it will) and also churning out some ideas that I had in my mind for a long time.
even if i could go somewhere id still be suicidal, so no point, might as well stay home and practice "social distancing"
Here In Mumbai, India , everything is shut .. Can't even go out for a smoke ... Its getting very overwhelming now specially that I live with parents .. I am probably getting clinically depressed ..
Me too. Im literally in the fucking floor.
I lost everything that had a purpose in my life.
I cant even go for a chocolate in the supermarket.

I feel you, i know id still feel awful and suicidal without the lockdown in place so im not sure why its affecting me so greatly but unfortunately it is, but the idea of attempting, failing and wasting a bed for someone who genuinely needs it is enough to wade me off CTB whilst this pandemic is happening, so heres to weeks of isolated suffering.

Our wonderful kids killed themselves - we must stop coronavirus triggering a mental health epidemic
WITH the worldwide death toll rising, there’s little doubt about the catastrophic physical impact of coronavirus. Yet experts and parents who lost children to suicide are are now warning that the t…

Unfortunately in India and other developing countries there is little or no attention given towards mental health ...here we still believe a person needing help wrt mental help is probably crazy n needs to be put in a psych ward.. I fear like the article says suicide rate may soar during this period of self isolation...
I live alone / no car/ and I live in a Hud apt building in lock down ! I have depression ; I feel like I am caged and there isnt anything to do ! My family doesnt bother and I have never felt more alone in my life. And I dont have anyway to get for food or get to the Doctor unless I get someone to help. I do take Meds but it really isnt helping that much and to top it off I am sleeping way too much ! I sleep at least 14 hours or more a day !

Under the circumstances I am currently in, my life hasn't changed significantly due to covid19. I almost never leave the house anyway. Every day I just wake up and try to mitigate as much depression as I can until I can finally go back to sleep again.
I'm the opposite. I'm an extrovert, and I used to have a very active social life before Coronavirus. But I haven't been on a proper social outing since March. I don't want to live like this anymore, and nobody, not a politician, not a private citizen, will give a definite end date. At the rate my state is going, the quarantine could be extended well into the summer. So my motto is: live free or die.
