Sure, she had a mansion to stay on quarantine, but as if rich people don't suffer anxiety and depression. Do I have to give examples? 

No. And she has worked her ass off for the status and privilege that she has. But it's still privilege. Not having to leave your home for work, groceries, exercise, etc. It's a privilege in and of itself to not have to leave your house for nearly a year during a global pandemic. I don't feel bad for ha.

But she isn't saying that she was self-isolated for depression... I quote from the article:

I haven’t lost anybody in my family so I’ve been very fortunate. My dealing with it comes from hearing of other friends, and other people who have experienced it. My empathy and understanding of what that must be like to go through that is how I have been relating. I’ve been so careful with myself that my own friends make fun of me. I didn’t leave home for 322 days — literally did not leave the house. So it has not been for me personally a heavy burden to bear.

I know, I was just making reference to the rich, privilege, etc comments

I think most of the people (if not ironic) don't like the stress put on the "not leaving home" instead of the depression itself... But that's just my reading! 

Sorry if I'm not clear, my English is broke as my wallet

Sure, I think you are so clear! The thing is that if she didn't leave her home was because of some mental issue, call it anxiety, depression or whatever, and that happened regardless of her status or privilege. That was my point

Thanks for understanding!
I do get what you mean. I think it's same if I complain for my mental health for isolation in my small studio apartment and someone tells me to cut off my complaining because there are people who don't have a house and they have to deal with covid too...

My parents have a very large house with hot tub and infinity edge pool that overlooks the city. Not a Mansion but still a very nice house with 4bed/4bath.

 

Going there from my 1bed/1bath apartment in April of 2020 relieved my anxiety like 10-fold. It really isn’t the same experience when you have more indoor space and plenty of private outdoor space, compared to being stuck in a small place with no private outdoor spaces.

From march 2020 to march 2021. It's not that complicated

People are bitter and unhappy with their life and like to have scapegoat to blame.  And rich and famous people are always easy targets for this, cos they think they owed them something.
