My Life

As I am writing this, I am feeling a little bit sick. The throat feels a bit sore, just a bit. The temperature is probably 0.5 degree Celsius up too.

Since I got the thermometer last night, I've been checking my body temperature constantly, and probably excessively.

It's always ranged from 36.9 to 37.3.

Went back to the clinic today to collect the results. The HIV, urine chlamydia/gonorrhea, and syphilis were all negative.

I know I should be feeling relieved by now. But no. At the clinic, the GP asked me if I've got any symptoms. So I told her about the feverish feeling I had for a couple of days or possibly for a week already.

She took the temperature, with the ear thermometer, and it was 38.1, a low grade fever. She told me not to panic and proceeded to check my throat, the lymph around the throat and the armpits.

She said my throat was slightly red/inflamed. It could be upper respiratory tract infection she said.

When I got home after that, I kept checking my temperature. It's almost the same as yesterday, highest being 37.3.

I was panicking. I messaged KK and told him about it.

It's been 41 days (almost 6 weeks already). I've had many tests. But I'm still freaking worried.

He said I need to stop this. Otherwise, I am annoying all my friends. And I should probably seek help from a psychiatrist. I'm not living my life he said.

I think he's right.

I am annoying everyone. This blog, though it's my blog, my space to express my feelings, has turned into a rather unhealthy, unattractive space.

While everyone else is blogging about their lives, what they did, their thoughts, and all that, I only talked about my health worries all the time.

I am in a depressed state. I still can't get over with my ex. I am not doing anything else, other than feeling sad and worried.

I know that many people around me are sick. It's the weather they said.

I hope it's really the weather, it's really the common cold.

But I couldn't stop worrying. No matter how hard I tried.

I could still go out with friends, laughed and all that. But when I reached home, it's all quiet again. And the fears and worries will start to haunt me again.

When will this ever stop?

    when u go out and live life, not just passing through it. Make full use of it. What's the point of having a good health if u dont enjoy it? Even people with cancer or HIV live a more enjoyable and stress-free than u

    Its most probably the stress. No amount of comments or advise here will make your mind shut down and relax. Just try your best.

My Progress So Far

In my previous post, I made a list of the things that I wanted to do, in order for me to start thinking and feeling positively. I have moved into this brand new studio apartment. I have also been cooking up a storm. I could now simply heat up my food when I get home from work, without having to rely on expensive take-away meals. However, I haven't been able to tick off items 3-5 yet. The apartment could be tidier. I have no one to invite over for meals. And lastly, item number 5, I don't think it will ever happen. Couple of weeks ago, after moving in, I texted Jay. I asked if it was possible to have a conversation. I told him I wasn't being emotional, I simply wanted to talk. He declined. And my last text to him was: "I have given you 10 months". Recently, on Facebook, I discovered videos made by a lady called Xandra Ooi which I found highly helpful and inspirational. She would end each video with ".... be happy, always". Her ideas made tota...

Not sensitive

I am feeling annoyed for no real reason. Actually it's since last night. I was dismayed by his lack of sensitivity and reciprocation. How could he just leave like that. I know it was late, but honestly i felt a bit degraded. Should I tell him? But how? Perhaps it's just a one-off and hence it's not necessary to bring it up unless he repeats it? He probably didn't realise I feel offended, and am still feeling the resentment. He is usually sensitive but why? What's worse is that he probably thinks I am fine and did not even call me until I did so this afternoon. Well I told you I got to do my readings in the afternoon, but you could still ask me out for dinner. Totally not in the mood to do anything. It is tormenting having to guess what the other person is thinking/doing/feeling. I need a stress ball or a punching bag right now!

How long is 20 months?

It's been almost a year since I last wrote. So what prompted me to write again? I still haven't gotten over Jay. He left in June 16? Yes, its now March 18. Shocking right,? How can someone, especially someone like me who can be so determined in my career and studies, who is so rational in all other material aspects, fail to marshal the power to put an end to it. I wanted to write, to remind myself how much time has passed, as his second birthday post our breakup is coming up. Last year, I mailed him a gift and a card. There was no reply. He finally agreed to meet over lunch about half a year ago? I texted him on a monthly basis to say hello. He would give me a simple reply if he felt like it. There was this perpetual urge to see him, to talk to him. I took photos of the baked goods I made. I used the 'save' feature on Facebook to save cute or funny videos. I hoped one day I would have the opportunity to show him all these. How foolish. I noticed I did ...
