Life is a gift. By remembering that I am still alive, it gives me hope, new strenght to survive and to fight again. And the most important is to not give up on life.
If I am still #alive today.. it's a miracle and it's a gift from God.
These 2 years are really difficult for me. In 2019 I experienced major depression. It was such a dark moment in my life. After that I was diagnosed with bipolar disorder. Having mental illness is totally difficult. It changes my life.
Many times in those days I just thought about how can I die. I just wanted to die so I could be free from this pain. I also tried to do self-harm to make me feel better.
Almost 2 years I did some treatments and medication to recover from my mental illness.
It was tiring. Many times I wanted to just give up.
And last year while I was still in my recovery, the pandemic came. It gave me more preassures and stress. Some of my plans were failed and made me feel frustated. Also the worst is I lost my job.
But today, I am still alive. I am getting better and become more stable.
I have family who support me. I have place to stay and good food every day.
I couldn't thank God enough for giving me another opportunity to tive my life in better way, and for becoming a light in my darkness.
#IAmAliveChallenge will be my reminder whenever I am about to give up because of hard situation. I will remember that my life is a gift and I can't waste it.
It will remind me also to be more grateful about my life. To live a meaningful and useful life for others. To spread #mentalhealth awareness to as much as possible people outside there.
I am writing in my blog to share about #mentalhealth so there will be more people become aware about mental health and they don't need to suffer like me.
