My invisible barrier is working as a freelancer.

I experience this strange time with two sides. On one hand, I experience a lot of stress due to my financial situation. On the other hand, it has also brought me a lot. I am a freelancer and this time is very uncertain for freelancers. In addition to my work as a freelancer, I work in a massage parlor, this work has unfortunately completely disappeared due to corona. My income is therefore very low and insecure, this causes me a lot of stress and I am tired. In addition to this stress that I experience, I think that I have also learned a lot of new things in recent months and therefore try to view this positively. I learned to do with those oars that I have and this went pretty well for me. Incidentally, I do think that the government should offer more perspective. Now it is all so uncertain and this does not make it any easier for me as a freelancer. I don't feel lonely or depressed, I try to make the best of it. I have nice people around me and I still look them up regularly, online or offline. The financial stress that Corona has on my life. I hope that the government can offer more support and clarity here.
