Yes it indeed is

I have also been worried recently about finding another job because of the pandemic, but I found that getting back into my hobbies has helped keep me distracted and get my mind off of it.

It is very difficult to stay home doing nothing, it is very upsetting I have started to paint which I have always enjoyed doing but again when I see others close me work and settled it makes me feel sad that I don't have a job
