Writing has been my escape from reality. I wrote to release my range and disappointments that hunt me even in my sleep. I sometimes made a simple narrative form of expressing my feelings, and I wrote a poem about it.
There are things that we could not tell anyone, were terrified of judgment and rejections.
Self-proclaimed, this is what I saw on my friend's news feed account he's making fun of social media's content about mental health issues where some students online updated a status that they were depressed. My friend stated that here in our country, most of the teens post online about how they feel about how they have this anxiety and depression without proper consultation from an expert. He added that most of these people were just self-proclaimed sick. I understood what he wanted to deliver a proper consultation was indeed necessary before claiming to have these mental health problems but considering our current situation where the economy was having a fluctuation, where most people lose their jobs due to this pandemic that we are facing right now. Most of us Filipinos were striving to find a solution on how we could eat three times a day I don't think that they had enough money to do a consultation tho.
What I wanted to point is that everyone has their level of sensitivity and everyone has their coping mechanism just respect what they want to do and respect what they feel. We wouldn't know what they have truly been feeling just by listening to their story not unless we put ourselves into their shoes. Several impacts could make that problem massive and most of them were the untold ones.
I was not used to blurting out all of my thoughts not until my problems were solved. What I usually did was to write all of my thoughts in a document and make a poem out of it. I usually burst into tears when I did this but it was a great coping mechanism rather than finding myself begetting self-harm. It felt like the only one who could listen to me sincerely was my laptop/phone. You should try to write down all of those regrets and burn them or toss them down. It helps me to recover from various regrets, I hope that you too.
