I remember when I was in my University. It was thursday and I had classes until 19 pm.
Around 1 p.m. professor said "health minister orders you to go home. It's coronavirus and we must be safe". I was so happy in that moment. I said "Yes, free time", it was perfect situation for me. Then I really didin't know what I'm saying yet.

In the first week I was so happy for this relax and rest. I was time for me and it was really good. Next week my all city was empty. I fent strange. It was fresh for me, zero people, zero cars, only silence. Next I heard about situation in Italy and I was scared. I didn't think about coronavirus, I didn't know it was for real, it was serious. Young people was sick, they were dying.

The most difficult for me was isolation from my familly and friends. I was alone. We could only see on camera in phone or computer. Next, my dad got sick coronavirus and we felt bad.

When I was in quarantine I was only lying and played in computer games. When I felt good after one week I started more interest in art and I sculpted from clay; flower pots, ashtrays and other.

The world changed suddenly, I know that after the pandemic nothing will be the same again. Less human contact, less movement, less life. This is a very sad and depressing situation.

At the beginning you can feel the displacement of the state of this pandemic, escape from reality. Nobody believed that what was happening in the world could ever affect them. It was hard to believe that something could happen in our everyday life, in the hustle and bustle of life.

After learning about the coronavirus for the first time, it was time to think about the fact that it is not only about other people, but also about us, in our country, in our community, and it can happen to any of us: our family, friends, professors, neighbors.

It was hard to accept the idea that this was a real threat among us. You could feel the panic, the fear, the uncertainty about the next day. People lost their jobs, jeopardized their relationships, limited contacts with family and friends, which affects the psyche very much. People feel lonely, they don't know what to do.

With constant limitations one can go crazy, one has to grasp new solutions, new activities, interests. Constant uncertainty leads to a sense of confusion. People want to feel a bit of normality. They are looking for new solutions that will help to forget about the new reality at least for a while.

After a year one can get used to the new standards of life, feel that everything is already as it should be for us. It is tiring, but with the knowledge that we have to survive these difficult moments for our common good. We are more careful, we know what to do and what to avoid. We no longer think that this is a temporary situation that does not concern us. We know that this is a problem for the whole world, and together we must support each other and be there for each other.

It is important for a person to know that they can get support. Emotional support is important. A person needs contact with other people and to feel that he or she is important to others. Emotional support is important to survive in times of doubt and loneliness.

I personally get emotional support from the ladies professors who show me that I am not alone and help me find myself. In addition, I feel personal support during classes. During every class you are asked how you feel. I think that this is necessary, especially now when contact with other people is limited. Such questions give me hope for a better tomorrow. I feel that in bad moments I have people who I can count on and distract me from the situation around me for a moment.

As of today, I know that you can't deny your emotions and you can't pretend that you can do it alone. It is worth accepting help and giving it. This is a difficult time for all of us. We can't pretend that it doesn't affect us, that we don't feel bad, because we are lying to ourselves.
