    Uhh, better than usual actually...
     
    As a small business owner and full time college student i hardly had any time to tend to myself. It was just get up, go to school, manage my business, go home, do my school work for the day, go to sleep, and squeeze in a half assed meal or two somewhere. Now I have time to dedicate to myself, cook proper meals, drinking enough water finally... I haven't felt this good in ages.
     
    Classes of course moved online, but the way my professors did it was just throw all the assignments up online and tell us to have them in by the end of the semester. So, i have a solid 3-4 hours to focus on myself now. It honestly feels great.
     
    With that being said, the whole stay at home order really sucks. I am, for lack of a better term, and introverted extrovert. I love going to parties and hanging out with friends, but only for a couple hours. If i go any longer than that i just crash, and i crash really hard when i do. I haven't been able to really have any human interaction, other than my parents. It's honestly really tiring, but in a different way than too much social contact is. Overall up from a month ago, by quite a bit.
     
    Im sure you have, but have you tried oolong teas? I have chronic migranes as well, though they are somewhat infrequent now a days. Oolong helped a lot when they were really bad. I personally can't take any medication, so I searched high and low for anything that would. 
     
    This is my preferred tea. Normally i'd link amazon rather than the company directly, but amazon estimates a delivery in ~29 days from today...: https://www.revolutiontea.com/collections/dragon-eye-oolong-tea

    I am blessed to work from home with Amazon. We are required to take on more hours starting this week. It has been hard to work the part time hours I had so full time is going to be fun. I know I should just be thankful I still have my job but with everything going on sometimes it is hard to just get out of bed. The only reason I did today was to play with friends online. The LTT Discord is quite active. You guys should join if you haven't already. This invite expires in 1 day: https://discord.gg/QGXYPF It helps to talk with my friends. I don't know what I would do without this community honestly.

    It has definitely kicked my OCD, ADD, and Depression into overdrive. I try to stay away from watching news or reading too many articles about it. There have been a lot of self inflicted deaths in my hometown because of it. I think it is important that we stay in contact with each other and be there for everyone who may be struggling. I have to go to the grocery store today and I admit I am panicking a bit about going out into public.

    Its in August. Thats still 4 months away. As a realist I understand what you mean. But it could still be a thing for Canadians. For people coming from outside Canada? Maybe bit more difficult. Still, I would recommend you wait for official announcements from LMG than spread any rumors.

    It's been quite shit, but for different sorts of reason then most people I suppose.
    School is now remote, which has proven difficult as some classes were not able to switch to an online curriculum. That will surely make it so I miss out on some lessons. I find it very difficult to find the motivation for it. Speaking in front of the class is difficult, but I find it even harder online as well.
     
    Thankfully I still have my job, as I have heard of many people who lost theirs in the last couple weeks.
    Workloads has tripled however, with basically mandatory overtime as well. I mean, I guess I would rather have that over no job at all.. But it's not good for the mental health. All current scheduled days off have been cancelled too  
     
    Most of the things I like the most in the year are during this and the coming month, which has all been cancelled (I like flea markets, which would be impossible to have, while imposing a 1.5m/5ft distance between all humans + no human contact).
    I don't really have any family in danger of dying from the virus, so I at least don't have to worry about that. But with basically all daily talk revolving about that subject, it's not good.
     
    Free time has been difficult to manage, as all my outside hobbies are basically gone now and I just find myself browsing the internet in the time left over.
    With no end in sight, I am growing quite worried if I can keep all this up with a straight face.

    I'm Working tons of hours, covering the miles to deliver medical supplies, paper products and food to stores across the US and Canada. I haven't been home in over a month and won't be anytime soon. I only get to speak to my family on the phone now and watch my kids on video for now.
     
    My request....stop hoarding crap. Give us time to catch up. I'd like to actually get some rest. And stop raiding the truck stops for your supplies. We need stuff also.

    I'm basically the biggest millennial stereotype: highly-educated and frequently on the dole complaining about the lack of opportunities. 
     
    In the past 2~3 years I was hired full time to only work (and get paid) when my employer needs me. And yes, it's a very common issue for trades people in the oil industry in Canada. You get steady work for ~4 months out of town for 24 days on & 4 days off then absolutely no work for ~2 months etc... Then I was so fed up with this lifestyle that I moved to France for work (there are lots of work opportunities there for construction workers, the opposite of Canada). But I moved to France at the worst time of the year (when everybody was on vacation is business was slow AF) ! So I was on the dole for ~5 months between May and September. 
     
    Being so frequently on the dole as a millennial stereotype prepared me so much for this confinement! I am not phased out by it, not one bit! At least with COVID I get paid "Woohoo!!". And I still have my job, for now.

    Still working. While at home, I'm buying more games but keep playing the same ones I've been originally playing. And binge watching whatever I find on Hulu, Netflix, Youtube, and Prime. Mostly anime.

    Not gonna lie, if there was ever a motivation of beating people, I think the assholes who raid stores with shit they don't need are a valid motivation. 
    I've been collapsing and this bullshit has not made it any better, especially as my job's hours have collapsed. I can't use this to better myself unfortunately, nor can I care enough to do so. Please, people, if you can, take this time to better yourself.

    I've done a week indoors and have been socially distancing for a month now, and I'm completely over it. Yeah, video games are great and all that, but I desire to do things outside. Another month of this is going to be terrible, if that's all the requirement will be. Fully expecting that my offsite work will dry up in the coming weeks, and even if it doesn't, after this lockdown is lifted I doubt our clients will be willing to spend money. I'd love to just get on my motorcycle and ride off into a remote place even for an afternoon, but because of the way my states order is written I cannot even do that; Not worth a $1000 fine or jail time. I understand the purposes of social distancing and would gladly keep abiding by it if I could leave, but there's no gradient in the rules.

    I am coping with it quite well, but I still miss being able to go out anywhere, anytime for any amount of time. I did some diy stuff I wanted to do for a long time (painting all the doors in white since the old color was almost beige, which was nasty).

    After having experienced almost 3 weeks of lockdown, I really want this to return to normal. I do understand why all this happens, but it is still difficult to endure. It is also a shame that I cannot visit my parents (who are in their early 70s).
