You should see this. All of you.
Again and again i am mentioning to myself and some of people who afraid of me become deperession, i am saying this again. i never been prescribed as a depression patient although sometimes i think i have the simptoms. so me writing this entry not to declare myself as a patient, but to aware to people how easily we can get this mental illness.
i dont remember if i mention it here but i kind of having a phase of hard time. I have been jobless in two months, while the need for money is getting bigger day by day. I am very not prepared to face this fate, my motivation had been decreased and i choose to not expose myself to friends and relative. i delete my facebook account, not posting any status for a period of time and keep myself busy writing stories. i write story about suicide and send it to a publisher, showing how i was in the bottom of emotion. I become very sensitive, throwing tantrum to everything and everyone including my parents and best friend, overthink about my future and crying so much while blaming Allah swt.
I am not used with jobless life, ever since i graduated i cant just sit at home and do nothing. i start working at a bookstore just because i need money to pay my ptptn. i expect the job to be temporary but God let me been there for almost three years. i do have many complains about my job, but as long as i can afford to pay my bills and be with people i find comfort, i am more than bless.
but as time goes by, the environment become toxic. the pressure that i get from family and society make me desperate for a new better job. suddenly God grant that wish, but unfortunately in a drastic way. as i mention before in my older post, that situation make me blame people. i still not happy as the job is just temporary. meanwhile i also have to live in a delusion of people around me that it is the best decision to change career. and guess what, my debt suddenly stacked up for no reason.
i feel desperate for a job, trying here and there, whoever employer who call me. Even at Kuala Lumpu and Puncak Alam. I know i have to try and i realised that i have to make one definite decision so the spending on going to hopeless interview wont continue. So i take chance to be a kindergarten teacher at putrajaya. i feel i just have to go. i am desperate. i thought everything going to be okay if i do hijrah.
but no.
maybe i am wrong.
as fatin in this video say that she had one year live in a room doing nothing, actually i have been in that situation. but just for few days. one day you feel like reaching out the world and one day you feel you just want going back home. few days in that new place feel like years for me. i dont feel anything, i stare out the windows most of the time, i cry at anytime without no reason, i feel lonely in crowd. the thing about a mental illness is, it only call an illness if the symptoms last for a long time. it is like suddenly you feel your body temperature increase like a high fever and your body totally feel weak. but if the fever going down after few hours, it is no longer an illness. but you still feel the urge to die because of the extreme sickness.
same like depression and bipolar disorder. like haze said in the description, dont just declare yourself a mental illness patient.seek for professional aid or else you are just have a munchausen syndrome (faking illness to get attention). i thought i also need to seek a professional aid, but face it. i dont have money and courage to seek for one. i think my case is not a severe case, so me being the typical Muslim, seek for God only during a great despair.
Fatin is right about a religious person also can have mental illness. it is not the issue of how many imans you have. it is about how your emotion and thinking view reflect with the fate and environment that you faced. it is an individual struggle, but never leave them alone. listening is really helpful, but yes i agree that those listener can do nothing. they may suggest a few things but that only make that person become annoying. just listen would do great.
i am thanking few youtubers especially thinker studios who really give me an exposure about mental illness. it make me feel that, like aiman psikosis said, it is okay to be not okay. like pewdiepie also said, dont push your other feelings (apart from happy) because it only make it worse. face that emotion, feel it and always aware in mind that this will be okay. you can be worst, you can be fantastic and at time you can be just fine.
i am still in rehabilitation phase i think. i can do nothing other than continue with what i have and be more near to Allah swt. whatever happen i really realised only He can help me. i do anything to pursue my happiness from Him.
pray for me people.
and i do thank everyone.
i love you
