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

I have been lucky in that I didn't lose my work or get furlough.<strong> I work providing legal services to indigent criminal defendants and my workload grew.</strong> This has left me in a difficult situation:<strong> thankful to have a job</strong> while reading of so many people that have lost theirs,<strong> but also mentally and physically exhausted</strong> and unable to complain because at least I have a job. I'm lucky that have many hobbies and feel comfortable being by myself. Still, <strong>I fear the pandemic has made me even more isolated, too comfortable being alone</strong>. Right now I'm debating whether I should quit and go back for a post-graduate degree just because<strong> I need a break. However, the stability of a paycheck holds me back.</strong> My mind is torn.
