I'm feeling really anxious these days. I'm finding the COVID online learning experience to be too much for me at this time. I want to stop school, but I don't think I can afford to. I need to get done with school.

School was always hard. Now it's gotten harder. I think a lot of people are stressed.

What are you missing most? Friends?

A balance in life. I spend so much time online. I'm always staring at a screen. I would like to get aware from the computer.

As the vaccination started, I believe we will be back to normal soon..
assistant

Yeah, I can't wait for things to return to normal. Until then, I don't know what I can do to feel normal.

I saw some of my friends hang out in zoom... having virtual drinks.. have you tried that?
assistant
Providing Suggestions
No, I haven't. I thought it wouldn't be the same as really hanging out. I don't drink. I do like to play board games though.

It will not be same.. but better than being alone..
assistant
Providing Suggestions
That's true. I wanted to play board games online with some friends, but they weren't interested. It's not the same thing to play with strangers.

I have a group with my elementary school friends.. we hang out in zoom because we all are spread out across the globe.. some times.. it;s fun as we can share a lot of memories..
assistant
Self-disclosure
That's great. I wish I had kept in touch with my friends from those days. I'm not really much for just socializing though. I like some kind of activity, like games.

Got you.. try to form a group on-line with the people you know.. at least until this CONVID thing is over..
assistant

Ok. Not really sure how to form a group. I want to reach out, but so many people are flaky. They makes plans then bail at the last minute.
