Samir Gardner describes how COVID lockdowns pushed him into depression and isolation. Confined to his room, he spiraled into excessive gaming, pornography, and junk food as coping mechanisms, feeling angry and trapped with little money and no way out.
But at that time, because of all of that anger and injustice I felt whilst we were in the pandemic and we had to be isolated and I couldn't go out of my house, I couldn't even go to grocery stores, let alone be out with friends. I was just in my room depressed, like nothing good was going on in my life. I was just playing video games, PMOing, doing all of the bad stuff, eating a bunch of junk food. I would eat McDonald's as much as I could, even though I had no money.
