I am trying to go to work and finish my essays in the post studies but I am using The covid-19 for not doing anything, so I feel that I am useless.
@DinaElwy
Dina,hugs, you must have a hard time seeing your own value.
What is something that makes you feel good about yourself?
Please don't let the situation block you from what needs to be done. It's very tough right now but the future will be even tougher if have to catch up with everything what we are postponing now. 
@amiablePeace77 Thank you,
I am trying to be positive and finish my duties and tasks, but I feel lazy and useless.
@DinaElwy I get that way when I push myself too hard. Sometimes I just need to listen to the rain on the window and watch the wind moving the branches, and following my breath.
I've learned that I REALLY don't ever need to watch the news. :) It has been extremely beneficial to my health and well-being to avoid it.
@thoughtfulmomma
Glad that you keep yourself healthy in this rough time and do what is most beneficial to you.
@thoughtfulmomma amen to that. i have never watched the newsmuch at all and i get nauseated when i do
@islandgypsy
That's because they just want to focus on the bad/negative. Fear sells.
I think my antibiotics are finally beginning to get rid of my infection. I feel a little less toxic today. I have a bit of anticipatory anxiety over the dirty dishes my son-in-law tried to get either my daughter or I to finish washing-my daughter is currently the only one working & I am disabled.
I'm learning to unfollow people on social media that don't inspire me or make me feel bad about my self. I'm working on changing my perspective to a more positive outlook.
What have you learned recently that improved the quality of your life?
I've learned that I need to identify what I'm feeling in my body when I'm triggered.
@amiablePeace77 (beautiful tulips...)
Nothing...but I keep hoping...
@ButerfleeDreamer
I believe as long as we keep up hope we are on the right path 
@amiablePeace77
Me too and I am glad to have the opportiunity to thank you one more time Tazzie (happy-happy birthday, you are a child of April like me😶, offers you dandelions..)
