<i>Hell, as a 10 year veteran remote software developer it some days I feel like I'm already there. One time I spent a year where I didn't say anything out loud to anyone.</i>
How did you get food?
I'm married nowadays, but my mental health used to suffer after a long weekend when there was usually a day or two when I didn't speak to anyone. Before that, when I was living overseas and had ptsd and depression, I think I would go a week without meaningful conversation (on occasion two weeks, if a certain event was cancelled), but I would buy food or something most days that would at least involve a half comprehended exchange "(hi) hi (some amount of money please) thanks (receipt?) no thanks (nice day)". These were at least useful since my tone of voice varied - sometimes I sounded happier.
Do you cope a lot better through that than me, or was your mental health in decline at the time?

Not the parent, but this isn't hard: self-checkouts are common these days, and even if you take food deliveries, you don't pay the delivery person directly, you pay through the app.
