This is gonna' be very important for a lot of people for the next few years. Possibly decades. Isolation very quickly drives people mental wellbeing down the toilet. (Yes I am an extreme and rather unusual case after isolating myself for a decade, long before COVID came about)
Signed up to a little three-month game dev course by Princes Trust. Hoping that as many people as possible start doing this because my real worry about COVID is the fallout of a huge degradation in mental health.
I am not going to this course for the topic. Not really. I am going to simply be around humans again. And things like this need to be made available. Those of us in the world who took the hiding to the extreme as of late largely did so at the cost of our minds.
Humans are not meant to be without contact with others for very long. If you know someone who is struggling, please don't tell them to just "go out" or "work it out". It is not that simple. You're seeing real damage there and they need help. If you can help someone recover from isolation, please, for the love of The Maker, do it.
