Isolation kills
ShareLong after covid many continue to experience levels of isolation that effects their mental health to the point it effects their body and mind.
There is such a term as skin hunger, but I just see it as we are social, tactile creatures. This goes for people who have sensory processing issues who need touch but just in the right way.
I know from experience how isolation and lack of touch from another adult can begin as a basic need that may be satisfied by talking to someone online, or spending time at a friend's place,
building up to an all consuming mental battle between values, beliefs, anxiety and all the rest to the point you struggle to live your day to day life.
This can be eased with a simple one to one conversation where you each truly see each other right through to physical touch.
Isolation effects so many of us in one form or another, weather you live in a house full of people or live alone with no support.
