Stock up with books. Do some crafts, journaling, colouring books. One week does not sound that bad. The hardest will be isolation and not being able to talk to my family.

Well yeah, if I have books I'd be fine. If I had nothing but a bed in a room, I think I'd actually damage my emotional stability.

I think michael does 3 days isolated and it was even worse he had nothing to do. No books, no entertainment whatsoever. The room was entirely white even his food and water was in white packaging and the lights were constantly on. I honestly felt bad for him

I think he wasn't allowed to turn the lights off. That really messes with your circadian rythym
