Normally, you&#8217;d be going to school, seeing your friends, and trying to get your crush&#8217;s attention by flirtatiously throwing SourPatch Kids at the back of their head (note: if this strategy doesn&#8217;t work, try throwing a bigger candy). But because of coronavirus, you&#8217;re trapped at home, subsisting entirely on Pop Tarts and scrolling dejectedly through Netflix before deciding to watch The Office for the 98th time (we can&#8217;t judge you because we ARE you). You&#8217;ve gone from being surrounded by people to being by yourself, from having a reassuring routine to floating aimlessly through an unstructured day. Stuff you were looking forward to may have been cancelled or postponed, and you might be feeling anxious and frustrated and depressed. If you are, you&#8217;re not alone; we&#8217;re feeling the same anxiety and sadness that you are.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One thing you can be sure of amid all the uncertainty is that <strong>we&#8217;re here for you<\/strong>.
