At the time when the war started, I was in the hospital. I’m sick. I have schizophrenia. Our city is relatively calm now, thank God. Therefore, my life has not changed much. The scariest moment since the beginning of the war: I was lying in the hospital, it was very scary that bombs would be dropped on us. We went down to the basement constantly, 5 times at night. The nurses and some staff wanted to just leave us in case the attack started. There were 40 of us. It was very scary at that moment. The second shift of doctors, on the contrary, was very kind to us, supported us morally, and reassured us. It was very scary to hear the first alarm when it all just started. I was afraid that a bomb would fall and tear off my arm or leg. The most terrible thing in such a situation is to stay alive because when it kills immediately, it is still easier. Before the war, I worked as a plasterer, salesperson, and bartender. I do not receive any help. My youngest child learned the hymn and sang it all the time. When the alarm sounded, he cried a lot and came to sleep with us, asked us to calm him down, and the child was panicking. My children: Vladyslav is 15 years old, he is studying at college, Dmytro is 10 years old, he is studying at school, the youngest son is 5 years old, he went to kindergarten. Kindergartens are closed now, he is at his grandmother’s now. She has her own house, there is fresh air, it is good there. The name of the youngest son is Mykyta.
