Fertilizers for Motivation

Never let people define who you are. Or tell you what you should be doing or your goals in life. You are you. You create your own dreams and chase them because dreams can be a reality. 

 

Comparing is a disease of the mind. Don't compare yourself to anyone. Just carry on at your own pace

You don't need attention and compliments to feel good about yourself. Being confident can make you happier. Happiness starts with you. 

Only focus on your goals. Don't be distracted by others. The only way to succeed is to focus on yourself and what is best for you.

Be kind. Be nice. Think good of others.

It makes a difference,

a good one.

" Mental illness is not a personal failure"

I know #WorldMentalHealthDay falls on the 10th October but I just needed more time to craft this post so that it would be more meaningful.


Mental illness have been a taboo topic to talk about ever since young. Like how older generations would say that you are crazy or just link mental illness to black magic and so on... Only during this day and age, there is more technology and research being done about this, we found proof that mental illness is a legitimate illness just like cancer and just like any other disease or illnesses that people face today. How do I start talking about this? Mental illness is a really heavy topic to understand especially for those who do not go through it or do not have any friends or family members who goes through it. I believe that you wouldn't really understand the pain and sufferings until you are in that position. (I actually wrote a whole long post about how raw and honest about how I would feel when I am not mentally healthy but I decided that I wouldn't want to go back one day and read such things that could trigger it further. I may not know if I would be mentally healthier in the future but all I know that I think it would be best if I did not post it at all. Maybe I will post it one day if I ever changed my mind.) THE DARKNESS It is somewhere no one would ever want to be. It is somewhere no one would want to live in it. It is somewhere no one ever wants to talk about it. It is somewhere no one ever wants to remember about it. It's a place where darkness surrounds you and you struggle to get out of it especially when you have no support, no love and no help. Even if people tried to help, there was no point because they would not understand what you are feeling and what you are going through. That is the hard part of having this world of darkness. SEEK HELP For myself, I start seeking professional help a few weeks ago. I realise that I was sooo in pain, I couldn't take it most of the time. You are basically in that world of darkness every single day and you are so desperate to end it. You want to get out and see a bit of light. It was really hard for me to come out and seek the help I needed. With support of N and a few of my bestfriends, I managed to bring myself to it. Many people would say I was strong but I know deep inside, I am just a weak Servant but with a huge determination to help myself and just get out of this darkness. (I would want to blog about how i started to seek help but there were a lot of triggering factors and thus, decided to keep it for now. It was personally wasn't easy for myself. Maybe if I had the courage to post it, I would change my mind to post about it.)


I am going to end the blog here because it is such a heavy topic that one blog post is not enough. There are many triggers and I just need to stop thinking about it for quite awhile as I know it wouldn't make me better if I kept dwelling about it.


May Allah s.w.t always protect me and all of us especially the ones I love. Aamiin.
