I'm healthy and I'm proud!
For years, one of my new year resolution
is always not to get hospitalized at all. But it always failed. I never knew
what’s the real problem with my health. Doctor never confirms anything.
Not only my physical health, my mental health was never at
the best shape. I drown in depression during 2011-2012. I know I should feel
happy with my life, but I didn’t.
I kept visiting the hospital again and again. I even
hospitalized 4-5 times a year. Those are the worst year ever in my whole life.
I couldn’t find anything good about this world.
But it didn’t mean that most of the time I was just mourn, and musing
about myself in a locked room.
I tried to do as many as activities that I could did, so I
have something to pull me out of my room. I join a German language course, I
voluntary teach the street children on the railway area, join a futsal club, or
just simply registered myself to the nearby fitness center. Not much that I
could do at that time, journalism is a time consuming activities. Even more
when one is just a junior reporter.
Those were just didn’t work.
Every time I got back to bed, I cried till I can’t feel my
head, and asleep with the river of tears on my pillow and my cheeks.
Though I did so many researches for the easiest way to die,
I tried as hard as I could to stay alive for one more day, since I was afraid
my mom couldn’t handle her life if I commit suicide. What was the problem, I
don’t know.
Don’t tell me about medicine. I will have no idea how much
prescription that I took during those years; it was enough to fill up my
drawer.
I didn’t know whether those medicine work or not. The fact,
I didn’t get any better. Vertigo kept on coming, and I still wanted to kill
myself.

these dudes are not solution |
And here came this morning.
I was clean up my room, and found a bunch of medicines in my
drawer. That was when I realize that I never open the drawer, and I didn’t
consume the medicine in it. I supposed for the whole last year!
I didn’t know what happened, but earlier last year was the
time when I told myself that I should take the risk, and quit my job.
Earlier last year, was the time when I told myself to stop
thinking too much, and to embrace the life. I told myself that I need to meet
more new interesting people, and find a lot of new ideas, to face the biggest
fears, travel, and don’t worry much about money.

I put this on the wall, and read all the points before sleep. |
I met a lot of new people and new group and found people who
later become best friend. I even met my (ex) boy friend among the strangers.
It was also the time when I commit not to suicide, but to do
more yoga, be a vegetarian once again, and consume less sugar and salt as well.
Guess what, I was too busy enjoying life and forget about
the medicine, as well as the gloom.
That was my giant leap. But I can’t share a recipe to share
about overcome depression, because I don’t even know which one was really the
factor to made me happy again. Also I believe each person will need a different treatment.
One thing that I know, tell yourself that you could stay
alive for one more day. So at the end you could say: I’M HEALTHY AND I’M PROUD.
SO PROUD!!!
