Before COVID-19, I struggled with Isolation due to my hearing loss and Autism. It's common among disables like myself, so when COVID-19 happen made what was problem and a struggle into a nightmare! Now, that we all on lockdown it's making everything that much harder! Talking to others was already difficult because of the hearing loss and the fact that I don't have working aids makes it that much harder. Now, with social distancing which is recommended to be six feet about I can't hear at all which just makes the isolation and depression worse. Before this, I would have to be up close in face in order to hear or use my Pocket Talker which also required close contact. Now, I can't do that have to have my Dad translate which makes him frustrated and verberally absive. But choice do I have, I already had people do that to me before COVID-19 and it's like people have this rude attitude and there is nothing you can do about except isolate yourself. I understand you want too and need to be safe and not get sick, but your not making situation any better. Then there is the matter of being safe if someone wants to be safe it's a problem for wearing mask it makes lip reading which I depend on SO much harder! If I do the same I get judge or criticized because I am Disabled. Which again makes the isolation and depression even worse! I don't want to do, I am trying to keep myself and my dad safe but, this "force" into isolation and social distancing has cut me off from the WORLD. Yes, I can call my friends, but then trying to have a phone conversation can be hard due the lack of volume and their voices(certain voice tones are harder to hear than others). And of course I am limited to what kind of phone coveration I can have because I don't want my father to them and in order to do that requires going outside and that is not the current policy. Don't bother mentioning video chat which is may be better Mentally but for me is even harder and more difficult than over the phone because the audio does line up with video and again I depend on lip reading so that doesn't help and I don't have unlimited data so I can't leave the house and video just going outside will drop the call so while video chat is better, it is not possible for me! So what am I suppose to do now? I can't go see people in-person, I can't video chat, calling is my only option, but requires leaving the house. Whiling the isolation and depression are bad, I am able to clean my room and work plant properagation which I am going to school for. Eventaully I want to work on the backyard, but right now I am recovering with antibiotic from being sick for the last two months. So, I don't have a lot of energy right now, but hopefully as I slowly recover I'll be able to do more outside. If that wasn't bad enough now there is problem with school! Before, I would ask for many of these accommodations that has be to be done thanks to COVID-19 and now it's like really, you said you couldn't do that for me and now all of sudden your doing it no problem. Which not only frustrate me, but also makes me angry. And of course on-line classes, before I resisted and fought the idea of doing on-line classes because I need that in-class experience do to my disabilities. In-class is more disciplined and structure things because of my ADHD. And now, I have to take classes on-line which I know I am going to struggle with because I am already struggling with that with an on-line Math class I am taking through Arizona State! And now, I have choice and I am worried that I will fail and incompletes on assignments, missing important information which I struggled with before so, it's definitely stressful. Like everyone else I have no choice but to avoid an activity that helped with the isolation and depression! So now what? It will be at least another month or two before I can begin to start communicating with the rest of the world and get out this isolation and depression! But until then like everyone else I am under lockdown, forced to stay inside as much as possible for the well being of myself, my father, others. I hope lessons will be learned when this over, I hope accessibility and access will be better, I hope people will understand what it is like to consistently feel and be isolated and depress! Until then, all I can hope for dream for is that this nightmare this Isolation and Depression will soon be over and I and the rest of the world can get back to living our lives. The one good thing about this is that second hand stores are closed which means no shopping for my dad who is a hoarder, but that more time being around him which is downside! Like I said, hope and dream for this nightmare of isolation and depression to be over and that can get back to living with the world's 8 billion people!
