Photo Credits: Gordon Kang, @gdwkang I am at work right now but I have to write this post. I am feeling incredible. I have not felt like this in what feels like an infinite length of time. I feel like I’m having an anxiety attack, but it’s not because I am in fear […]

I’m at the playground near my house right now, letting time go by as I just swing away at a steady rhythm. Today is the first day I am alone since coming to Melbourne and I’m trying my best to learn and teach myself that being alone is not the same as being ‘lonely’. But […]
6. Anxiety? Anxiety is a completely different topic to what I have been talking about for the previous posts, but depression and anxiety do go together hand-in-hand. Many people will be familiar with the term ‘being anxious’, ‘feeling anxious’ and everyone has had feelings of anxiety at some point in their lives. But many […]

Mum, as a desolate mother, was distraught to hear that what I have may not be treatable; […]
4. Where do (should) I go to seek help? I’m going to change this question to “Where should YOU go to seek help?”. People with depression tend to withdraw themselves from people around them, partially because we feel like no one will understand anyway, or we don’t want to be a burden to our […]
3. When did it start? I only took action to seek the university counsellor one week before university started this year in March, after I was encouraged by an engineering member of staff. He said that he was glad to hear that I was taking actions to look after myself physically, but was […]
2. What am I experiencing? In my second year of engineering, I was unfortunate enough to develop a form of chronic pain syndrome. Chronic pain is described as any pain that lasts for more than three months, as it persists for a period that is considered longer than the normal healing time. It […]
