BCH keeps me sane BCH undeniably brings a lot to the table. Since getting to know BCH, my life has changed for the better. It helped me in a lot of situations, some urgent and some are just for wants. But the fact stays that Bitcoin Cash is there for me despite knowing about it for less than a year. Perhaps, I found something that made me the most grateful to BCH. The reason for this is because BCH funds my journey to becoming mentally healthy. Yesterday, I shared about my…
Three ways to make your own crochet scrunchies (Part 1) Crochet is the only hobby I picked up during the start of pandemic that I still regularly do to this day. Perhaps it is because crochet makes sense to me. Following new patterns may sometimes be difficult but I enjoy the challenge a lot. I also figured out that I liked trying to make simple patterns of small projects as well. They are not as amazing as the ones being sold but they are mine so I am proud of them. Since…

NCMH E-Consultation Experience Mental health used to be something largely ignored. Most believe that mental problems are easily set aside by positive thinking and other similar things. Thankfully, as the world progresses people are starting to understand that we must take care of our mental health as much as we pay attention to our physical and emotional health. But a problem still remains Just like most healthcare, professional help for mental health is expensive. Just the…
I told my parents I am sick One of the things that I have a difficult time doing is opening up to my parents. I love them a lot and I work hard to give them a future where they can just relax instead of worrying but our perceptions in life are vastly different. I have learned fron childhood that sometimes being honest is punished so I have learned to keep secrets from them. However, as I grow older I got tired of keeping things from my parents. So I did my best to be honest…

No energy at all Today I woke up at 5AM to have a morning walk with Moshi, and my sisters. This is a great way to start the day if only I could sleep early. The medication I am taking makes me sleepy but not enough that I could actually fall asleep. So I am just stuck yawning all day wondering how many hours of sleep I could get. Having a short sleep at night is usually okay since I try to take long naps in the afternoon between my classes as well as the free time in…
Taking care of two kittens Last April 6, my father found kittens left for dead on a busy road. The kittens were dirty and crying. He saw them as he was going home from buying my medication. He gave the kittens to me along with my medication that day. He knew that I wanted cats ever since and this is his blessing in letting me adopt. Honestly, my first reaction is not joy but frustration. I knew that my medication will leave me sleepy most of the days and I wanted to sleep…
It is a process These days, I have been too hard on myself. Instead of acknowledging the strength it took to get professional help, I am bringing myself down for even needing it. A part of me feels as if I am weak to have these problems. A fragile little thing that will break with one wrong move. Even though my family tries to hide it, I can see it bothers them. They have been trying to be understanding but I could see they are not understanding what is going on with me. It…
Buying kitten essentials with BCH A few days ago, I wrote an article introducing Oreo and Presto. In that story, I also told how I ended up taking care of them despite not having any plans for it. Because of the abruptness of the situation, I was not able to buy a lot of essential things and just make do with some alternative things. For example, I have yet to buy the kittens their own bed as well as their own carrier. The bed is self explanatory because I want to give them…
Selling BCH during the dip In my article a few weeks ago, I have shared about how BCH helped me in finally getting an initial consultation with a private clinic with regards to my mental health. I alsp mentioned there that the treatment plan will be emailed to me along with the details of the next consultation. https://read.cash/@ZehraSky/bch-keeps-me-sane-09b65388 Well, after waiting for more than a week, I finally received an email about it. I received two emails actually.…
Thanks for the help, BCH Life is funny because it is full of unexpected twists. Just like this week, I was so content in not touching my BCH since my stipend is going to be given next week after the Holy week. Unfortunately, needs can not be delayed. I could not wait for the stipend when I had so many things that needed to be paid. The first one was the kitten essentials. The next is the fee for the therapy session I will have on the 30th of April. Today I thought the…
I'm sorry, I can't keep my word One of the things that used to make me proud of myself was that I always keep my word. No matter how the situations changed, when I promise something, I make sure I fulfill it. Over time, I realized it was toxic. Well, it was my bestfriend who made me realize it. At first, I was in denial. I thought that people who can not keep their word are just looking for excuses. I believed that because I had been able to keep my word all throughout those…
Payday sale: Duke Petshop feat. BCH Last time, I converted BCH for some bills to pay. I decided back then to also withdraw some money for the Payday Sale. Today, I want to share some items I got for my pets. I will be writing 2 articles since I bought many things and it will be too long if I include them all in one article. Just like my routine from months ago, I stayed up waiting for 12 midnight so I can immediately checkout the items I want to buy. I do this because…
Payday Sale 2: Buying Pet Essentials with BCH Yesterday, I shared some of the items I got from Duke Petshop for the Paydy Sale. Most of the items were for the kittens since they are new members of the family. Today I want to share more items I got for Moshi, Oreo, and Presto during the sale. This is the life of a fur parent. Instead of spending my money on myself, I used it to provide for my fur babies instead. Well, I m not complaining since I enjoy buying things for my…
Stuck in my throat I thought that getting a diagnosis would be easy or that it would be natural for me to say it. I mean, I managed to inform my bestfriends, and my partner about it the moment I got the diagnosis. I even let my family know about it. Well, except for my younger sister. She was sleeping when I told the other members of my family about it so she never knew the reason why I am taking a medication. I asked her about it Randomly, I asked her if she knew why I am…
A Surprise Date I just got home from a date with my partner. I was not actually expecting much to happen today. It was a Monday after a short break and I was not excited for it. I know my youngest sister feels the same way too. You know the feeling when your body is getting used to resting then all if a sudden you have to grind once more. Yeah, I am not that happy about it. Anyway, my partner got to his work today and was mostly busy during the day. While I spent my time…
BCH saved me from going crazy Today started out great as I still have my good mood from the surprise dat yesterday. I wad actually pretty hyper than normal which freaked out my youngest sister. But my mood turned downhill when I realized that today is April 19, and I have yet to receive information about how my follow up with the psychiatrist from NCMH will happen. When the realization sunk in, I decided to call the contact numbers but it seemed that all lines were busy. It…
Life with three pets This is going to be a very honest article coming from someone who never had to take care of any pets and then suddenly has to take care of three pets. I would like to preface this by saying that no matter how tiring it gets, I love our pets and they bring me a lot of joy. But the reality of taking care of more mouths to feed is not as sweet as many portray it as. To provide a bit of organization to this work, I want to divide it into my life before we…
Craving Satisfied Even though my partner and I had a ramen date a few weeks ago, I still continue to crave ramen. I do not know why, but I just really like noodles even though I know they are not exactly healthy for me. Anyway, let us not talk about health and all since food is something I truly enjoy. I do not want this to become a part of my life that I have to stress over too. Going back to the topic, earlier we ate Jjampong cup noodles which made me crave ramen more.…
More Shopee Budol Today I have been busy catching up with some academic responsibilities. As much as I would like to ignore these things, I want to keeo my scholarship so even if I am too drained to move, I am still fighting to keep going. In a different matter, my Shopee payday sale budols finally arrived and my pets are using them. I was planning on doing a review of the items I bought but I have just not been in the right mood to write that article yet. Maybe soon I will…
Cook Samyang with Me Today, I had a psychiatric appointment to get more prescription for my medication. I also managed to get a second opinion in my diagnosis, and the new diagnosis given to me actually feels more like what I am experiencing. However, I am not ready to talk about it here for now as I have yet to inform my family about this new development about my illness. So for now I would like to share an article that I wanted to write before I got too busy with…
I need BCH now more than ever Last night I was unable to publish an article as I started taking a new medication prescribed by the psychiatrist. I did not time it well since I thought the side effects will be mild but I was wrong. Just a few minutes after taking the tablet, I could already feel my eyes getting heavy. In an hour, I was knocked out after finding a good position for my stuffy nose. I even set an alarm to wake up and write an article but I did not hear it. I…
Food trip with sisters One of our favorite bonding as sisters is having a food trip. People will probably not have to guess that hard if they see us together since me and my sisters are all at a healthy weight, some more so than the others. A few months ago, we had an established routine of buying midnight snack since our elder sister was working from home. But since goin back onsite, our usual bonding time has since stopped. But there are some weekends when we could…
Hello, I am Zehra Sky I planned to write a similar article like this on my anniversary here on read.cash. However, what would be the difference if I write it now or in the future? I see no big difference at all so I decided to just go ahead and write this article. When I was planning this article, I wanted to write a bit of an overview of my journey here. The story of where I started my self-love journey and where I am currently at is the main theme I had in mind. Right now,…
A Funny Miscommunication Today is a bit better than the last few days. First of all, we only had a short class and the professor did not give us an activity. So I was able to rest comfortably. Then, we received the confirmation that our stipend is going to be sent to our respective accounts. This made me incredibly happy. My father bought ice cream from us withthe stipend I received. I really like ice cream because it makes me feel better all the time. I guess that is the…
Living is tiring I am writing this article while fighting the side effects of quetiapine. Quetiapine is the medication I take at night for my disorder. It is an anti-psychotic drug but it can also be used for other illnesses like bipolar disorder. I am thankful for this medication since I could feel the... I could not take it I was writing that article last night but my body was not having it. I thought I could fight what I am feeling but eventually I decided that it would…
Things I learned since becoming a fur-parent It has been a few weeks since I adopted 2 kittens. Back then, I was hesitant about my ability to take care of such tiny creatures especially since I had just been diagnosed with major depressive disorder. I thought to myself that I can not even take care of myself, how would I be able to take care of 2 additional pets? Thankfully, my youngest sister helped me out quite a bit. She reminds me to get out of bed and feed the pets…
April 2022 Articles Summary End of the month is here so it is time for another monthly summaries of the articles I have written along with some realizations for April 2022. But first, wow I can not believe that we are already entering the fifth month of the year 2022. It feels just like yesterday when I was writing my new year's resolution and now we are already halfway through the year. Anyway, this April is a wild ride for me. This is a month full of confusion, fear,…
