The coronavirus has many effects on my present day to day life. With the onset of the coronavirus things has changed drastically in my life. My previous work has since closed and transfer me to a different department in order to keep me employed. I am still working but it has affected my family schedule because I now must start earlier than I use to. In addition, my two children are home from school closer but still have schoolwork to do, which I am not there to guild them through especially my seven-year-old. So, joggling my work and all their extra schoolwork has left me exhausted. On top of that I also have my own schoolwork to complete which I am always behind on. Another way in which the coronavirus has affected me is the ability to feel safe and comfortable when am at work or outside grocery shopping. I am so worried that I may catch the virus that I get headaches just thinking about it. The coronavirus has limited my mobility in terms of visiting family because of the social distance restrictions in place. I come from a large family and we are all very close and always get together but now we are not able to. Finally, my family financial situation is also affected because my husband got laid off and now, we only have one income coming in to support the family. I feel like I am at rock bottom and emotionally I am fighting to keep strong and praying that this would soon be all over. I am grateful that we are all still alive and have each other.
