Was in one of the lowest points of my life last summer, not really because of covid. Guess that was kind've a part of it.

Knock on wood...but... now I'm at the best point I have ever been in my life a year later. Or at least the best point in the past 6 or so years.

It gets better.

Probably right now, I’m not sure if I’m going to pass my classes and graduate. I’m also working 6 days a week, I just want a break

No regrets. Ate a lot of frozen pizzas, drank too much, played the geetar, built a ramp outside the kitchen.

Def wasn't all gravy but whatever. Just gotta make the best of shit sometimes.

Got quarantined cuz of work contact so many times.... kind of got used to it and learned to enjoy the downtime 😂

last spring (March-early May) was rough for me first time around... got laid off, uncertain about the future, ski season cancelled, spring party wave cancelled, April travel plans cancelled, everyone yelling not to ski/skate or do anything dangerous to tax medical services , gyms closed, yoga studios closed, still shitty/rainy out. Pretty sure I played call of duty for 12 hours straight one day that may have been the low point lol

turning point I eventually started getting really good at building productive chore schedules/home workouts for myself.

Like early pandemic think April 2020-august 2020 I was in the hospital everyday for a super rare infection. They couldn’t do anything so my family had to drive 6hrs to Pittsburg every few days to see their specialists. I was getting holes cut in my eye for slides and pcrs every other day, putting eye drops which were basically acid and bleach every hour to try and fight the infection. And taking this nasty ass pill that made me get blood drawn every 3 days, along with fucking up my liver. Shit all hurt so bad I couldn’t move from my bed without feeling super tired, wasn’t eating more than once a day and the narcotics werent even helping with the pain. Just a rly awful experience and time with no good outcome even in sight at the time

I basically quit school altogether and biked every day for a few months. I'll get my degree later, I'm not a bad student so no worries honestly. At the beginning of the lockdowns, I was going through some other shit which kinda fucked me up for a few months but honestly since fall I've been honestly doing great.

The worst part was definitely not really having a job for a few months. Genuinely surprised I didn't end up homeless (or at least house-less) at one point. I really need to work on having less retarded spending habits.

I punched a hole thru our bedroom drywall (was drunk of course) when my wife’s family wouldnt let us come out to see her dad with stage IV cancer for like an entire year. I get the whole concern about compromised immune system, but i get so annoyed when people dont live thankful for everyday. Just felt so bad for her dad being imprisoned like that. He could have passed anyday, i know if it were me id rather take my chances of dying from COVID and see my kids and grandkids than not and potentially dying anyways

One day I spent 8 full hours on NS. Definitely a low point.

Lowest point of quarantine was a recovering from surgery a spiral fracture on my humerus right before quarantine and then knee surgery the week after i got cleared from Pt and realising i could've had my knee surgery months before if my doctor listened to me.

Late March-mid May

Online school was a joke but at least it was easy. I was really unsure of how long lock down would last and felt like the world would never go back. Biking in the city was weird. I was basically the only person I saw downtown for like 2 weeks.

Once school ended and I started working I got better.

Definitely this December/January. Had to move back to Ontario, was stuck living with my family, and only able to get a part-time job. Ski season was gonna be the thing to save me, but that got cancelled at the last minute. Was probably one of the lowest points in my life.

I'm super routine driven, so it took me a while (like months) to really figure shit out. My sleep schedule was fucked, my work schedule was even more fucked. I got in to a BAD routine of staying up super late by myself, then sleeping until 10 minutes before work. This was not popular with my wife who is in health care and never stopped going to the office.

Now I'm super dialed. Go to bed early, get up early, exercise, and spend time with the family
