Come Back Safe
I have a few friends working in the NHS. And I'm getting scared for them now. Like actually, properly scared. I'm not going to pretend I know everything about COVID-19, but I do know that it's thrown everything through a loop, given me an extra week for some of my assignments (the only good thing to come out of it) has forced all my meetings, classes and plans to take place over Zoom (a program I'm almost 100% sure didn't exist until this whole thing started and people realised Skype is a garbage fire).

COVID-19
We're in the middle of a pandemic. The world is at a stand still and you don't want to leave your home in case you get infected. Right now, the world is a scary place, stepping out your front door is dangerous because an interaction with an infected person terrifies you. However, I think in order to get over the fear of COVID-19 you need to understand it more and do the research.

I can't sleep!
"I can't sleep!" It's the story of my life. I always complained about this when I saw a therapist to talk about my mental health, and sleep medication doesn't help me either. My sleep pattern lands me in a bad mood, not great when you have to study, write and clean the house the next day. Many of you will understand when I say this problem can make you feel agitated when you are a parent having to do the school run the next day. Luckily I don't have that issue at the moment, but when the clock is ticking, come morning you lay there, confused because its daylight before you know it! I have another problem with lack of sleep and going to sleep, it causes issues with restless legs. You know the one! The one where your legs want to move all night for no reason, and whether your tired or not, you just can't control it.

A healthy lockdown
COVID-19 is causing people to stay indoors for their safety. Dreadful, right?! If you're reading this article, you're one of the lucky individuals during this pandemic. We are all struggling with depression and boredom (even celebrities in their big mansions #iwish). Jokes aside, celebrities are just like us. It's absolutely normal to be afraid and worried about our health and the health of our loved ones, as well as our economic situation. Not knowing what will happen next is very scary. Extroverts, how are you coping? Even introverts are starting to complain. Anyone else misses cancelling their plans? You would think people would love a break, but most of us miss the routines we often complained about. We should all be thanking key workers and thank YOU for staying at home. I'm hoping this article will help someone out there (and myself) and be a sort of guide to consider in these uncertain times.

Define essential during the covid lockdown
As I say in the sub heading this is based on my experiences and anecdotes in the uk as that's where I am. Ever since this lockdown started there's been disagreements on what's essential and what isn't. If one kind of shop is open then why isn't another kind is common. One large sports chain wanted to stay open because it sells fitness clothing and said that was essential for health. After a backlash in the press they closed. At the same time bicycle shops were deemed essential, though that's mainly for maintainace and alternative transport for key workers.

My Heroic Wife
My wife who is a Pharmacist & Pharmacy Manager of her company workplace has been one of the companies out there that are open during this horrific time. She is truly an inspiration due to the fact she can get exposed to this virus that has been going around for quite some time now and yet she still choose to work despite how she can get exposure from other people who could potentially be sick and aren't following social distancing or lock-down rules. I'm thankful for all her hard work, to all the other healthcare heroes and workers of other industries who are doing everything they can to save lives while they are at risk of getting infected. I'm hoping and praying for this nightmare to end so everybody can go back to pursuing their past normal lives. My wife is about 5 months pregnant and her appointments have been getting delayed due to the circumstances we're currently in. She's expected to deliver around late August or early September 2020 of this year.
