A letter to your friend about lockdown situation

 Dear Shihab, 

At the top of the letter my cordial greetings to you. I am optimistic that you are quite fine by the grace of Almighty.I am also fine by His blessings. Today I am sharing my lockdown situation due to corona pandemic.

When the lockdown started, I was ecstatic. There was no routine bound work like attending classes in college, doing homework. I was happy, and confident I would be OK. After all, how hard could staying at home possibly be? After a while, the reality of the situation started to sink in. Gradually I felt bored staying at home all the time. I used to spend all the day playing video games, facebooking over internet. I suffered from regular panic attacks, frozen on the floor in my room, unable to move or speak to my friends in person. I had nightmares most nights, and struggled to sleep. It was as if I was stuck, trapped in my house and in my own head. I didn't know how to cope. However, over time, I found ways to deal with the pressure. I realised that lockdown gave me more time to the things I loved, hobbies that had been previously swamped by schoolwork. I started drawing and writing again, and felt free for the first time in months. I had forgotten how good it felt to be creative. I started spending more time with my family. I hadn't realised how much I had missed them. 

No more today. Let me know about your experiences during pandemic. Convey my best compliments to your parents and love to the younger.

Your loving friend
