Pandemic Stories: Running Away from Depression

 I met someone online. After graduating from the university, he went on a one-year trip to France just to chill. The plan was to find a legit work after the trip. But then, COVID happened. In my case, I invested most of my money and left a spare for just 3 months of expenses. These are just a few of the horror stories during this pandemic. 

In the process of saving yourself from depression or poverty, so many factors will come to attack you like a flood. This is like an announcement that you have a Cancer and someone tells you that it is okay. It is not okay. A friend told me that I have to feel this. 

1. Acknowledge

Yes. I am bitter, sad and broke. I bought a car, I cannot pay for my tuition fee and I have no money. I had to take an online job because its the only thing that I can do. 

2. What is number two? Take it all in. 

I wallowed in misery. Prayed to God for a miracle. I even thought of  getting a loan but I hate debts. 

3. Chill

I went out. Drank a cup of coffee and ate an expensive meal. I missed this life. I miss the times when I just go to the spa when I am stressed. After that, I packed my things and had to face reality. 

Well, I do not have answers to my questions nor do I have solutions to my problems. I just know that I will not give up. I have survived when my ex-boyfriend left me hanging while I was planning a wedding. I was able to raise a business when it was drowning in debt. There are so many things I have succeeded in. 

4. Remember you are not yet dead

Fight while you can. Crawl if you can. Do not stop breathing. The world does not end here.
