Is this a bad situation to be in?

[Wingstofly]

If you are in a bed room every day with nothing to do except stare at the wall.
You might get a visit from your family here and there but you hardly ever leave that room.

(That's a bad situation to be in right?)

[Legendofgenii]

Depends on the context.

What kind of room is it? A bedroom, or maximum security prison cell for murderers?

[cherrystark]

Context is important, as was mentioned. But in general yes. Staying in the same room every day limits your body's need for physical, mental, and social activity.

If there's nothing better to do than staring at a wall, it's boring at best and horrifying at worst.

[Wingstofly]

Bedroom, that's the type of room.

If you're Andrew Tate that's currently the best the world can hope for.

[NickRowler]

If the room is completely empty and it's over a long period of time, it can lead to mental illness like psychosis.

It is seen as a form of torture which is why some prisons will stick prisoners in isolated cells if they act up. Tho there is some debate if this treatment is too cruel.

Doing this to children is a form of child abuse. Doing it over a long period of time can impair a child's development.

If you are literally staring at the wall doing nothing? Yes, it is a bad situations to be in.
It means your mental health is not in their best state and you basically find no joy in doing anything.

If you meant just being in your room while relaxing, surfing the internet, maybe reading, or doing other non-physical activities. Then it is not that bad (still not ideal).
Your mental health is way better than in the previous scenario in which you stared at the wall the whole day.

Realistically speaking you should probably do some excercise to keep your physical health. You can have a good mental health depending on what you do in your room.
Ideally, you should try to go out every once in a while be it a restaurant or the movies just to have a change of pace.

You’re basically describing solitary confinement in prison and by all account it’s pretty bad ya

[SleepingPoppy]

Are you okay? You want to elaborate, or you just asking fun hypotheticals?

[Wingstofly]

My family's house got sold, so my family but me in a home so that I would have somewhere to stay. There is no one to talk to in this place and there no where else to go. When I'm not using the internet on my phone I have nothing else to do but stare at the wall. I'm trying to fix this problem I want to get involved in the archery sport, that will give me something to do. Maybe I can even go pro at some point.

[Wingstofly]

My mom is going to file for me soon, so that I can live with her and the rest of the family in America, so I have that to look forward to as well as the archery sport.

[GamerPrincessXI]

When i had covid, my parents let me live in my room and they would break out the hazard mat suits to drop off breakfast, lunch and dinner. It was really bad. But when my dad got it, he had free roam of the house. That seemed unfair.

[Katzalcoatl]

This gives us lots of context.
You are going through a rough time and you are not staring at the wall because you want to.

In a sense, it is a bad sitiation to be in specially since you didn't choose to be in it.
You are doing well by trying to involve yourself in archery and by looking forward to the future.

Do stay positive and while we may not be able to help solve the situation completely. I hope we can give you small comfort be it by giving you advice, talking to you, or simply by making your day slightly better.

Even though we may be strangers, do know I wish you the best. 🫂
Just know that you are not alone and we are somehow here for you if you need us.

[river121693]

Ok this provides a lot of context. I thought this was an idea for a story or smth.

Just try to stay positive. Find things to do. Ask your parents to get you books, sketchbooks or a computer /phone so you can read, write, and art. Go outside for walks. Libraries are great if accessible. Ask your parents for regular updates.m

[LunarScyphozoa]

Definitely get a bunch of things to do. Boredom leads to way way worse stuff

[YS_og]

So sorry to hear you have to go through all of that. I realize I am assuming something big here but that had me worried a bit, hoping you and your family werent someone caught up in the war mess over in Eastern Europe or so =( Either way, prayers that your situation gets better soon!!

[Wingstofly]

Thank you, what you're saying means a lot.
