  • I am posting this story because I am feeling grateful

    I found out I was pregnant two weeks after the first lockdown began in March 2020. It's been a huge silver lining for my husband and me to spend so much time together while I was pregnant and then later with our newborn daughter!

  • I am posting this story because I am feeling anxious

    During the COVID pandemic getting out in the world is very stressful, feeling like you will come down with the deadly virus!

    疫情讓我們更珍惜相聚時間。能相聚不是必然的。

    五千年的祖先智慧告訴我們,世事多變, 但都會否極泰來。讓我們作好準備,迎接疫情過後的美好世界!😄

  • I am posting this story because I am feeling sad

    I feel really sorry for kids who will likely be missing camps again this summer. I wish the provincial leadership would have been clearer sooner for parents, kids and camp directors.

  • I am posting this story because I am feeling inspired

    I am hopeful this will mostly be behind us by September! I'm sure we'll need to be careful for a couple of years, yet hopefully the worst will be over soon.

  • I am posting this story because I am feeling grateful

    I don't worry much about information on COVID as my partner keeps me posted and worries for me.

  • I am posting this story because I am feeling sad

    I'm missing being physically close to my friends.

  • I am posting this story because I am feeling frustrated

    One of the most difficult aspects has been the various numbers tossed around, sometimes without a context and other times without being specific enough for the area in which I live.

  • I am posting this story because I am feeling grateful

    It gave me the courage to let go of things that weren't healthy in my life, and made it easier for me to work on healthy habits.

  • I am posting this story because I am feeling sad

    I miss the freedom to travel and to be with family and friends across borders.

  • I am posting this story because I am feeling sad

    Quarantine is hard :(

  • I am posting this story because I am feeling grateful

    Having anxiety in "normal" times can make you feel as though no one understands you...it is a daily struggle to do little things that others wouldn't think twice about. People might finally understand what it feels like on a daily basis to live with being on the verge of panic. But, I digress....this post is not really about anxiety. It is about GRATITUDE! This Pandemic has made me grateful for everything I have. The health of me and my family, the (forced time) to spend with the ones I love, the ability to slow life down and focus on what is really important.....and to top it all off, I now see the strength in my "Super Power" of Anxiety :)

  • I am posting this story because I am feeling grateful

    Thankful that my family and friends are healthy and safe.

  • I am posting this story because I am feeling sad

    Sad that I'm not able to hug my family and friends.

  • I am posting this story because I am feeling frustrated

    Frustrated with the circles we continue to go in with no end or resolution in sight. (This is our third lock down, right? Who knows anymore.)

  • I am posting this story because I am feeling anxious

    Young children even under two have probably been more negatively affected than older children because of the very limited social opportunities. Time will tell how much this is affecting their emotional, language and social development

  • I am posting this story because I am feeling grateful

    COVID has been a good reminder for everyone to pay closer attention to infection control including healthcare workers.

  • I am posting this story because I am feeling grateful

    It strengthened my relationships with friends and loved ones.

  • I am posting this story because I am feeling inspired

    I found my love of cooking

  • I am posting this story because I am feeling sad

    It has been so hard to watch teenagers lose such big milestones in COVID like Prom and Graduations. Many started high school and university during this tough time with little to no understanding and support.
