It’s been maybe more than a semester since I’ve felt “alive”. Got broken up with (my first ever heartbreak and probably last), close family relative who had a huge role in raising me passed, family issues back home, and I’m still studying medicine abroad away from my family and “home”. Honestly, it feels like the friends I made when I was so full of life are the only things keeping me alive and maybe how my mother and sister would react if I was no longer here.
I feel frozen in place, with no energy whatsoever. I’m sure it’s another depressive episode. I want to be back alive - like I used to. I feel so disappointed in myself and I hate myself for being this way.
I know I can be alive again because once I felt so full of it. I once believed in life and what it has to offer, accepting whatever may come. And now, I feel so dead and tired and alone.
