who is that person you want to seek forgiveness from?
i would like to say
I’m sorry
to myself
For being wrong.
I know that medicine has always been the ultimate dream. its not only- oh yeah, for the sake of you to understand my story, after spm, i went to egypt, specifically tanta, to further my study in medicine. its a 6-years course, i came back for good after 3 years. i didnt finish.
I wanted to do medic not only because i want to help people, the course itself is vast & fascinating. its one way to understand how we, the complex creature, is made. i always has something for medicine.
depression introduced itself to me on my first year when i failed 2 of my subjects. at first, it was only sad, negative vibe, nothing much. Approaching the end of 2nd year, i develop anxiety, i got really sick few days before exams and i cried. a lot. During that 2nd year, egypt was having revolution. remember the arabs spring. i was there. I was there when egypt declare what do you call, darurat. i was there when the curfew is 24/7. even Egyptian was not out when the sun shine so bright outside. no shops open. i was one of many malaysian that go evacuate to jeddah. we have to wait for almost a week there before we can go back home that experience is interesting & worth telling, but thats not my point today.
on my 3rd year, after the egypt is done with its revolution, i came back to continue my fight. i cried at every chance i get. of course only when im alone. thats why i dont like being alone. im an introvert, i love having my own space, but what choice do i have than to be with friends, when that personal space of mine has been invade by monsters that i do not know how to defeat yet. why i cry? i cry for the damnest things. i think thats the hardest to explain when depression is involved. i cant seems to stop crying, i even wonder to myself, just how much tears i have in my lacrimal gland
i give myself kata dua. which i regret until now.
if i want to continue medic, i need to seek help from professional for my depression, because i dont know how to fight this heads on. if you dont want to seek help, quit medic
the thing that i didnt know that time is even if i quit medic, depression will still be there to torture me. nobody told me that depression is like a house guest that didnt know when to leave. i thought if i eliminate the source where i get to know depression, it will be gone as well. i didnt know i was so wrong.
Admitting i have depression is easy. but admitting that i do not know how to control my depression is extremely difficult. i thought to myself, if i didnt know how to handle it, how is you gonna help me do that. you do not know it. im trying to protect you from it.
i tried to describe my hopelessness in just breathing at the presence of depression. everything is pitch dark, my limbs are amputated, i cant even mengengsot to move, i cant do anything to move. the earth seems spinning, but i cant seems to move. so i give up in moving. in hope, i will be let go.
when i tried to describe it, my best friend told me, dear, everyone has depression. it was like a stab to my heart, i know she meant well, i dont hold it against her. im telling not so you can identify with me, im telling because i want you to help me kill the beasts. i hv nothing on me, i cant even make a sound. my voice has been taken by depression. i just want everything to stop. help me. kill that beasts for me. free me.
when she told me that, i stop asking for help
since i do not want to seek help, i quit medic.
it was not the end of depression.
i got a place to do my degree in acc & fin, i secured a place in this course and also land a job before my grad ceremony. it seems like im fine. but im not.
during my degree in acc & fin, i develop a suicidal thought. do you want to know how i would want to kill myself? i never like the idea of hurting myself. i have experience enough hurt. i just want to go easy. i just want to leave unhurt
close all the doors & windows. open that aircond. light up my fave aromatherapy candle. did you know that if you light up a candle in an air cond room, you gonna be suffocate? i thought thats the nicest way to go. death in my sleep. without feeling any pain.
i am a mess. even with everything i have so far, which is not that much but okay lah i earn some money, im actually a wreck. last sem, during our final exams, my career is taking off fine, seniors & boss is noticing me, i got exams but im fired up. so i thought wth, i can do this. i can bring this down.
until my ex starts with his soon marriage on fb. he’s an ex, i dont really care. until he told me that he has not move on from me yet. All this time, i thought he was not interested, org dah tanak, kita nk paksa buat apa kn. so i put my heart at rest. but bila dia ckp mcm tu, my heart, its tetibe... i guess this heart of mine still thought him as idk. how do you convince yourself that that someone is a future that never gonna happen? i was devastated upon learning that.
i immediate call my friend. i cannot handle this alone. i cant do this. i dont know how to nail this. im afraid depression gonna grip me hard this time. i need someone to catch me first and make some sense out of these. so i called my friend. a friend who is as crazy as me, bcoz only like-mind can make me understand & understand me without me saying much.
Alhamdulillah, everything went well. if you guys tak buat study group, stay at hotels, i dont know what kind of result im getting. i dont even know if im going to show up. you may not know how important your role is at that point of my life, but i pray to God everyday that you will be blessed for the rest of your life. i got 3.59 i guess, so thank you. thats more than i could ever ask for, given my situation.
i did sign up for professional session, following the situations. but i cancelled last minute. the dr asked why. i told her the truth, that im not ready yet.
so you see, even after 4 years since i left medic, im still struggling. had i knew that i will still be struggling either way, i would have never let myself let go of medic. i could have been a dr rn. maybe we will meet under very different circumstances.
im sorry that even after all this years, i still cant take care of us. im sorry that im not strong enough. im sorry. im terribly sorry for not ending this misery already. im so sorry.
