No matter what happens, I'm still grateful. I'm still grateful that I have people that I can depend on when I'm down. I don't expect much from people, but I'm just happy to have those I can talk to about anything. Opening the problem to someone is my form of coping mechanism. I feel better after talking about my situation. The problem is choosing the right person who will listen to your stuff no matter how trivial or silly that stuff to them. I'm just blessed to have those people around.
Don't worry, I'm okay now.
I was really unproductive (at least to my standards) last week because everything just became too overwhelming. I think it started last Friday when I suddenly felt this sudden surge of emotions for no apparent reason. It was so overwhelming that I couldn't function. I just wanted to sleep, which I did almost the whole day. It's mostly sad and angry emotions, but it was a jumbled mess. I feel sad for no reason. I was angry at the world but grateful at the same time. It was really strange that I couldn't think straight to achieve my tasks for the day.
I was supposed to go to USC for my part-time work, but I didn't. I didn't want to get up. I even said sorry to @acidyo for not being active in my OCD duties last Friday and Saturday. Good thing he was cool with it (as always). He even advised me to keep on working because everything will be worth it soon. I'm just grateful for this kind of work (since I'm working for Hive full time) because I don't have a deadline. I think that if I was still in manufacturing during that time, I would have been grumpy and irritated until now.
I guess I'll be better at handling it next time, if ever it will happen again.
I realized that the best way to deal with those kinds of episodes is to recognize the emotions and let them flow. Suppressing them or brushing them off won't do any good. I had similar situations before where I felt a sudden surge of emotions that I couldn't understand because there's no reason or situation that warrants those emotions, but I didn't mind those episodes. Compared now that I recognized it, I felt better sooner than before. I'm just grateful for my constants in life.
I felt sorry for Ivana because we were supposed to meet last Saturday, but I was such a mess that I bailed out last minute. Good thing she totally understands.
Everyone's dealing with their own battles and I think the hardest fight happens inside of us. So, it's a big difference to be kind and considerate. Some might just be smiling and being bubbly, but they're dealing with a lot of hardships in life. They might be shouting for help, but no one listens to them.
If the people I talked to didn't understand what I've been going through at that time, I might have felt bad and I think that would have worsened my situation. That's why I'm grateful and I'll always be grateful.
Please be considerate to everyone. Peace out!

Wishing you a quick recovery, @ybanezkim26. People are emotional beings so it's part of our life to feel this way. However, you can talk to a friend or mental health professional if it is beyond what we can normally process on our own. Take care. :)
Thank you! I'm okay now. I'm just so happy to have people that I can bug when things like this happen.
then your tag is the bottom line of your writing 😝
Well, grateful makes you powerful. 😊 then you’re lucky to have those people
When I was struggling with my internal problem, I haven’t active about a week 😞 sometimes you just need to take time and maybe swimming for yourself 😝
Yeah! That's why I put those tags there to remind myself.
Yes. Need to be in the sea soon!
Copycat, only I do that.
Patent pending.

Thanks, man! I'm taking life as it is.
Totally understand were your coming from @ybanezkim26 you are not alone in the way this world is conducting itself lately but you are fortunate to have good people around you to talk to and listen to you, real friends make a difference. Nice to know that you are back on track stay strong and positive :)
Thank you! I now realized that maybe the trigger was my Facebook that looks like an obituary of people dying from covid.
It's true that real friends make a difference.
I have stopped looking at Facebook and watching the news and getting on with my life enjoying every moment of my life my work, swim at the beach and a walk in the afternoons followed by good food and a beer and I am all content :)
You're not a machine, you can't go full speed all the time. Take a break and refresh yourself
I always take a break tho. 😂 That's why I'm enjoying Hive.
Alright Kim the pool here is open at 7am tomorrow, okay! 😁
In all seriousness, wether you subconsciously/ unconsciously acknowledged those emotions rather than denying it, you chose a better direction... am glad you're okay now. Remember, only fight the most important one, let the rest go.
Should we just move the lechon party very soon? Lol
See ya soon! ❤️
Thank you, Gil! See you soon! Don't worry about me. It's just an episode. 😄
Dili maguol. Hapit na. . .
Trut. Pero set lang ta daan sa atong expectations kay ang covid cases nagsaka.
Hang in there, brother. Sometimes, we need to back off a step to aim for farther jumps. We are not machines. Go for a walk, without your cellphone, talk to strangers. Internet life rushes our mind sometims; too much information.
Thank you, brother! I miss the hikes! I will definitely try to do it one of these days.
aww.. We all have our own battles in life and sometimes we just really felt that we're too down to function. I'm still proud of you Kim! True! You need to recognize those emotions for you to be able to overcome it. Always remember that there are people around you who loves and cares for you. :) Sending you our virtual hugs. See you soon! :)
Thanks girl! See you soon!
I hope that you will go through this rough patch. I admire your attitude in the face of the challenges. Way to go bro and all the best.
Thanks! I feel better now.
