How is the coronavirus pandemic affecting your life right now? Tell us about your experiences, feelings, and thoughts.

I’m a nervous wreck. A second lockdown (in Israel) is so much worst than the first. And no one even believes it will help. We don’t see a way out of this. Now they say: maybe December. December??? And how are we going to go through tomorrow? I am exhausted. I am on partial umemployment. I also barely work on the small job I have left. I can’t really do anything when my daughters are at home. I wasn’t alone for months. Yet I feel so lonely. The only people I see are the parents in the playground. And the conversations are always the same. It’s hard for everyone, I know. But I feel it’s especially hard for me. A few days ago, my daughters didn’t want to leave the playground. It was already late, and I was already too tired so I leaned back on my bench, and that’s when I saw the moon.
