And so, it shows that I haven’t been active on the blogosphere for some time now. I can’t even remember when my last update was.
I’ve not disappointed without a reason, though. Life took precedence once again with me focusing on my current position. I don’t know if I’ve ever mentioned it, but I’ve managed to secure a job related to the field that I studied in. The amount of paperwork in my current position is enough to keep me busy to such a stage where I’m working through lunch. I know that it’s not the healthiest option as lunch hour is there for a reason. It’s to provide employees with an hour’s break to refuel or to catch a breath.
Yet I love it; I’d rather swim in continuous stress in the workplace and fry my brains than to harbor feelings of boredom. There’s another reason; being nose deep in the paperwork allows me to lose myself in the tasks on hand. It’s dangerous because my brain can never rest. It’s forever checking off the work-related mental checklist. The effects of this is perilous. As if to make it worse, I’m suppressing my thoughts and emotions whenever I’m in public. It’s only when I’m alone, away from prying eyes and judgmental ears that it shows in my eyes. I know that it’ll worsen if I don’t do anything to resolve it.
It’s not that I don’t want to take precautionary or mitigatory steps. It’s more along the lines of not wanting anyone to know what I’m facing with. Ever since I’ve been kicked to the kerb after that critical period, it’s given rise to the feeling of abandonment. No one deserves to know what’s happening in my life or to me while life moves forward without me.
If I’m left alone to lick my wounds, then I shall be left alone, away from those judgmental ears.
I recently read an article about Post Traumatic Growth. Instead of focusing on PTSD, they focused on the growth that many people were able to develop after going through difficult times. It was fascinating. "What doesn't kill, makes us stronger?"
ReplyDeleteThis is the first time I've heard about Post Traumatic Growth, Yum List. As we both know, there's been so much emphasis and coverage on PTSD that people think it's bad.
DeleteI'll have to read more about it. =)
