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

My dog has cancer and I haven't really told that many people, mostly because it feels weird to reach out and have it be the main reason you are reaching out. If I was seeing people regularly, I would be able to tell them as a normal part of our interaction, but now it is a whole thing to share information. I have also been eating a lot out of boredom and frustration. My job is boring, but I don't want to get another one because I am able to work at home. I am frustrated a lot just in general. I have noticed myself wishing I was hungry more often that way I would be able to eat and have something to do. I know I've gained weight, and although it is a little stressful, I am mostly just seeing it as my body and mind adapting to this situation of not being able to do much. I don't think I would be able to handle the uncomfortable feelings of being at home all the time without food, so thank you food! The weather is a lot nicer this week too,so I've been able to go outside and just enjoy the immenseness of the sky and nature. That has been uplifting to me. I am really glad I have a backyard so I'm able to do this.
