Hi @lewisma9 and welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect and the Depression & Anxiety group. You'll notice that I moved your message to this existing discussion called "Isolation: How Do We Handle it?" I did this so you can meet others, like @hopeful33250 @woogie @lioness @zeiracorp @coloradogirl @mayofeb2020 and others talking about the ways they are weathering the new isolation reality.

In the COVID-19 group (https://connect.mayoclinic.org/group/covid-19/), there are several discussions about coping that you may be interested in, especially as a walker and dog owner:
– Let’s Go Walking! Join me for a virtual walking support group https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/lets-go-walking-join-me-for-a-virtual-walking-support-group/

– My plans to lessen the stress of Self imposed quarantine https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/my-plans-to-lessen-the-stress-of-self-imposed-quarantine/

I, too, am an introvert by nature. Give me a cup a tea and good book and I'm happy as a clam. Besides getting out for walks with your dog, what activities do you enjoy?
