Recovery?


6.50pm now. It's till very sunny outside, the sky is clear and blue. As it's summer now, it only turns dark at around 8.30pm.

I just had a nap. It's been such a long time since the last afternoon nap. Don't know why. Not that I don't have the time now, perhaps the routine, the habit somehow got messed up.

It was quite a deep nap. Kept getting dragged back into the dreams when i tried to wake up.

Last week, at work, Carol asked me if I was ok now. Without too much of hesitation, I managed to say 'yes'. I didn't want to talk about it i guess.

Today, on the phone with a uni staff talking about recommencing my studies in the coming semester, she asked 'are you sure you're ok now? let us know if you have any issues as early as possible...'.

Again, I said I was ok and ready to start everything again.

Actually, I don't know if I'm truly ok. I haven't been doing my project for half a year now. I probably lost the ability to concentrate as I did allow myself to slack so much during the past 6 months. I play Dota when I am free, and am now reading fictional books, blogs, Facebook, news. Nothing academic. Will I be able to cope?

Also, physically, though I have been going to gym regularly in the last 2 months at least, I am not feeling like I am at my best state. I am not gaining weight, as what the weighing scale and the mirror have been telling me. For a person who is active, sleep shouldn't be a problem right? But my insomnia has worsen, though I have been trying to stay optimistic and finding excuses for myself for the episodes of insomnia, blame it on the computer, the temperature, the overactive mind, etc. I feel tired throughout the day, from the moment i wake up till i finally fall asleep again.

Do I have a cancer now??? Tell me! I am so frustrated like seriously! Can someone give me an answer??!!

I have lost 6 months. I want to 'restart', I want this year to be better. But there's only so much I can do.

Maybe my gene is fucked up! I don't have energy. I said to Carol that I look more sick than John who is recovering from prostate cancer.

I am trying. I sorted things out (uni, money, visa), trying to get a dental appointment, reading books, going out, etc....But why do I still feel like shit?!

Even eating grapes makes me worried. Because it's antiviral. Because I am afraid it will give me a false negative result if I do hiv test.

Got a minor cut on my forearm. Don't know how and when I cut myself. Maybe in the gym? Immediately I got worried. What if it's a MRSA infection? It's rare I know. But I couldn't help but to get worried if it's to do with my health.

I am so afraid something will go wrong with my health because I can't afford to be distracted by health concerns anymore. I need to be perfect this year..

    Just enjoy life and pursue your dreams. Fulfill your dreams. Stop worrying about this or that. Time is not wasted in worrying over things we cannot predict or control. Use time wisely to do things you want to do, things you want to accomplish.

    Cancer? =__=
    wuddddd...... No, you don hav cancer. Unless u r 50 years old and u have been losing weight. So no, you don hav cancer. There, i said it. =p happy? hahahhahahahaha

    no, eating grapes wont make u have negative results in HIV. There are always exceptional cases, but no.

    and yes, getting MRSA in a public setting is rare, like, super rare, i think u hav a higher chance of getting eaten by a shark. if u r scared of mrsa i suggest you stop driving too, since getting killed in an traffic road accident definitely has a higher probability. =3

    so don worry dude, getting worry will even lower ur immune system, hence it will make u sick. I rather u not stressing things out than worrying abt MRSA.

    hakuna matata XD

The "Emergency Contact"

Got a letter from the insurance company this morning, confirming that my conditions are not 'pre-existing'. Glad that they are willing to pay for my colonoscopy and endoscopy (with an 'excess' of $500, which means I would have to pay for the first $500 in a calendar year for any claims I make).  I called the clinic quickly to make an appointment for the procedures. The earliest they have is this Wednesday, so I will be 'admitted' this Wednesday afternoon.  The lady over the phone said that I must arrange for someone to bring me home after the procedure because I will be sedated (as opposed to anaesthesia) and under NSW laws it is a requirement that I go home accompanied.  I can't think of anyone really. No family, no friends, no one, just me alone. I told her I have no one that I can ask. I wondered what she thought, poor kid maybe. Fortunately, there is a specialised cab service that I can hire to escort me home.  Then, there was the pre-admi...

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 ...

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...
