The painful and traumatic experiences during COVID-19 would vary widely based on everyone and what they went through or dealt with on a daily basis but a few common things which I’m sure we’ve all had to do, deal with or be put in a position of would be…Wearing masks everywhere we go 24/7, having to sanitize everything single thing because of the fear we’d get Covid, having family/friends die due to Covid, being separated from our friends and family, not being able to properly socialize and losing ourselves on social media, catching Covid and dealing with horrible sickness or the possibly of death.
Personally the only good experiences I or people I know got from Covid was learning to adapt to situations fast, being closer with friends/family as communication was all we really had for fun because going out and socializing wasn’t allowed and if it was, was dangerous.
