I would gladly say that I have recovered 80% from depression. It's been a while since I felt this happy after long years of suffering from depression and obsessive thoughts. Of course, this doesn't mean I don't have it anymore but it is just more of a saying that I have the will to live my life for the better. There are good times and so does the other....but at least I can say this much to myself that I can live my life normally now.
Guess what, I'm really glad that I chose this college. Not only is it near my home, but it is actually a starting line for me to get up from square one. And even, if I were to get ill again in the future, I can relax that I am close to my family to look after me. My experience studying in Foundation in Medical Studies wasn't pleasant but I hold it to myself as something valuable....as it has taught me the value of family and the life challenges that we need to overcome.
After 3 long years of depression, have I now become someone who is aspired to help the people around suffering the same situation as me. One thing I noticed that people who are mentally ill tend to suffer a lot more and had it rough going through the day. So, to those who actually recover( I won't say completely because there is no such thing as 100%), thumbs up for you have made this far. Let this experience teach you and instill the feelings of compassion towards others and also awareness to the problems faced by society daily.
To you my friend, life isn't easy and I must say that I have a long way to go...But, like what you say as well, life can be beautiful as well. Each day has been a blessing thinking that I may be able to spend enjoyable time with you once you are back. At times, I would also imagine us having fun doing the things we love....eg, window shopping, badminton playing, barbecue-ing, and eating out together...Just imagine all the fun we could have together.
So, I'm glad that I will be able to spend my Birthday soon with a peaceful and happy mind. Being ill for a while and not having to enjoy my time fully really gets me into thinking how it would turn out this year end with my birthday and christmas day going on.... Can't wait for it, hehe.... ><
