How COVID-19 turned my life upside down.



Many of us still don't believe that this Covid-19 virus exist. Yes, this virus is real. This is not a joke or something that the Government made up. It will affect your mental health and it will increase the levels of your anxiety and depression. This is my worst nightmare, an experience that I will never forget.


My whole system enveloped fear as a new experience in my life is about to happen. Imagine yourself in a white room with no one else but you. You can't stand, you can't talk properly or any motor skills that you can think of. You have an oxygen that you can't live without and a diaper that you wore day and night. There's no one to talk to, except for the assigned nurse. Imagine yourself being in that same room for 15 days.



Aside from the virus I'm thinking about my bill. Where I am supposed to get money to pay my almost five hundred thousand bill? Those questions keep popping to my mind. My health card is not enough. We don't earn that much money so there's no way we can pay the bill. So, I have to stay more days at the hospital even though the Doctor said that I can go home. They can't release me because we can't settle the bill.

I looked at the alluring glass window, If I jump our problem will end here.



I started to cry out loud because of that evil thought. I prayed, I pray to God to give me strength and clear my evil thoughts. After that I received a call from my boyfriend saying that I can go home. He was able to talked to the Doctors and scattered the ₱30,000 payment and wrote each Doctors a promissory note.


To all Covid-19 patients don't lose hope because God will always make a way, in the most unexpected way.
