Feeling Restless At Home

There are some people not only young who are feeling restless at home when you are living in the Philippines and being unable to do normal routine in your daily life you begin to feel helpless. Those who are feeling that way are the elderly people who are use to going out to get some fresh air and walk around to the market to see faces in front of them and gather together just to do small talk.

What happens like times like this when you're prohibited to go out because of your age? 

I was talking to my mom the other day and she was telling me how people her age who are not use to staying home want to commit suicide or they feel they will die early because they are not capable to go out and see the world.

They feel life was easier for them if they follow and reach to heaven because there is no covid-19 there and they would be at peace with no more worries.

I asked, my mom if she had ever felt that way and she said at their age they feel lonely especially if they have no companionship.

I realize not only people who are elderly who gets affected being lonely it is also people who have no relationship with anyone who wants to feel like someone is there for them.

Sometimes when we stay home and we are not use to it in our brain we start making up stories or we start to feel moody because you see the same surroundings from waking up in the morning and until the day ends you are so bored.

This is the time we need to reach out to the elderly people to see if they are okay and to keep in touch with them because you never know what a call can do for a person at their age they need someone to talk to share their stories in which they are use to doing outside when they go shopping to buy their daily needs.

There are some elderly people are not high technology people who live in their own generation where everything is done by hand.

I realized when we stay at home yes I too get restless because I too want to go out and I am not the age who are not allowed to go out but when you have family of your own you need to set a good example so staying fully at home proves to who you are and what guideless you are giving to those who are staying home with you.

Just like anyone else we get mood swings as we see other people able to go out in other countries you start to envy them but in no doubt you worried for them because they are not staying home just how you are.
