Coronavirus Pandemic

So a global pandemic has hit, the whole world has come to a stand still and the virus is killing mass amounts of people, sweeping in country by country. Everyone is being forced to stay home, stop working, social distance and queue for miles to get into shops. But all precautions have to be taken. University has taken to online teaching sessions and tutorials, which I guess is good in some ways as it gives us the opportunity to have some kind of routine in our lives as everything has stopped. However, it has been extremely difficult to stay focused and be creative in this time as in my family we have a key worker and is forced to work, which everyday in itself has been difficult, just having the stress of what we're going to hear when she comes home. Money worries and other situations have hit my family hard and I am very unmotivated at the moment to even look at my work due to the stress. I think the fact that my whole life has been flipped on its head too, I am stocked indoors 24/7 with members of my family which I am not used to, as nice as it is it can be difficult after living alone at university and living my own life. I am away from close friends who I spoke to everyday and was able to express my feelings with, which I can still do but not like I used to. Everyone is in the same position I understand that but this has definitely taken a huge toll on my mental health.

Hopefully I will be able to get back into the swing of things and become more motivated to create. I have tried a lot of self help and lots of organisation so that my work is only happening in small chunks so that I don't have to overload myself.
