ADAPTIONS
I rarely see the sun anymore.
World seems to have changed.
How to deal, to online school.
Bought a computer. Financial burdened.
Adapt.
PLACE
Another room, working in my room,
different areas of my room.
Sitting at desk, on couch, on floor
I went home, I moved back,
back in with my parents.
"my back hurts and my brain too from all the internet."

COPING
It feels like all of my best coping strategies
have turned against me.
It's hard.
Plan how to find the strength to carry on.
Take a step back, meditate.
Schedule for self-care, take care.
Stretch a lot, going for walks, going out to walk.
Remembering to get outside.
I just want to go outside.
coffee…black tea…herbal tea, helped me cope.
This branching out has really helped me cope
EMOTIONS
Emotions after periods.
My emotional state.
My mental health.
My motivation and my mental health.
My mental state.
Everything is so mental these day.
A little bit dead emotionally,
Feel the negative effects.
Feel sort of unaware of my environment.
Witness myself spiralling more. Not depressed in the debilitating way
that some of my friends are.
My best coping strategies.
A mental way, to feel safe.
I just hope
I also have started talking to a therapist.
"sometime you feel okay
feeling not okay--and that's fine"
_survey participant
"I have started making a lot of different forms of art instead of just my original focus"

SOCIAL
On a down ward slope, after my social life.
Lost some social skills. Hard to connect to people. Meet new people.
Isolated, I could not handle the loneliness.
Quarantine alone, stuck completely alone.
Get lonely, completely alone and empty.
Not hard on myself anymore.
Got myself, my life, more deep self talks.
Viewing myself as just myself. Myself hugging myself. By myself and only myself, telling myself.
Guide myself into a better life.
Do not end up weeks not going out and not communicating with anyone.
See people online, online socializing. Have people to call, plus a good friend.
Sleepovers.
