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

<strong> Second day back after quarantine. Feeling drained, anxious, depressed.</strong> Feeling old (for me) classic symptoms of depression...I don’t deserve to be happy, nothing I do makes a difference, why do I keep trying, nobody cares about my efforts. <strong> I’m tired. I’m hurting. And I know I’m one of thousands right now. </strong> I know people have it worse than I do. Why should anyone care when I have an income, I have a roof over my head, I have my health (for now)? But knowing these things doesn’t make the pain subside. <strong> I don’t want to work at a school right now. I don’t think anyone should be trying to teach right now. It’s too much</strong> expectation on the kids and the adults (parents and teachers alike). I can’t quit. I need the income. <strong> I’m sick and tired of being an American during this pandemic</strong>
