it has been a long time since the last time i write on tumblr :)
how’s life? mine is god actually
so, i get married and today is my 10th month of marriage
it’s kinda surreal but i love it
my husband, whom i called “mas dadut”, is a peculiar one hahaha
our friends said that nothing has changed after we married than we were on dating
and actually i feel great about that, because nothing really obliged us to change
furthermore, after getting married, i also continue my postgraduate study
after 5 years on working a job, study for a master title surely not an easy things to do
but hey, it is not me if i don’t love being student :D
the another game changer in my life is i recently resigned from my job and i’m actually feel good about it
my resignation is not all about me fulfilling my passion, well passion can be made
me resigning is about caring about myself more, loving myself more, and getting help what i needed
the last 6 months of work was really hard for me, i went by crying all night long, feeling anxious and helpless, and frequently having suicidal thoughts
just imagined how was life without me in it
i woke up every morning with a body without a soul, no willingness to be a better person, no eagerness to have that sparkling lit of living the life
i talk to my friend who has psychology degree, and said that i showed symptoms of work-induced depression
it was hard, sad, scary, and no one knew the severity of my depression, she told me that i should go to professionals for getting help
every night i watch youtube channel about depression and anxiety and how to overcome that. reading the comments is kinda calming me knowing that it is normal to have it
at some point of your life, it is okay not to be okay
then, the turning point come, and i make biggest decision ever to resign from my job
everybody againts it, but who am i to kidding, i have to do it
so here i am, 2 months after resigning, getting help what i need, preserving myself in my own way, understanding myself, and trying to care and loving myself more
if anyone ask, how am i doing, i am happy now
knowing that i have time more to getting know myself, and of course healing my self and getting help to overcome my anxiety
it is a long process but i have to do it anyway, learning that suicide is not gonna solve anything, remembering that my family loves me, and how heartbroken they are gonna be if something bad happen to me
i am trying to be kind to myself, and not letting anyone else undervalue myself
i keep reminding myself that it is okay being not as great as anyone else
not as glamorous as anyone else
not as special as anyone else
it is okay to be i am as it is
it is okay to feel lonely sometimes
it is okay to feel sad, to feel scared, to feel helpless, to feel that world is so full that i would probably getting drowned in it
it is okay to feel not good, but for another second come back to see the light that your dear family and friends holds for you
it is a long journey indeed, but i am gonna make it anyway no matter how soul crashing would it be in the future
