Grandma died
Grandma died peacefully during her sleep. I am going to her funeral today. My mum said she doesn’t have any more reason to live. I pointed out I’m here. She said I am abroad so it does not count. I felt pain. She will never change. Image credits

The nightmare goes on
Tonight to go to a place in which we celebrate my best friend’s birthday I had to pass in front of the house in which the person who touched me when I was little lives. I talk about that trauma in this post. It happened in that house. I almost cried, but I didn’t. I […]

I was asked how I am always happy
The other day my housemate asked me how I manage to be always happy. I was about to say “well you don’t know me”. Which is what I would usually say when someone commented on my happiness. But… I realised my housemate in fact has seen me only after my depression recovery. And that is […]

Everything is bleak
It has been a while since I last wrote on here. Thing is, I am lacking of motivation and I cannot find the words to write anything interesting. My life at the moment is great, and I guess that for someone who is used to problems this might result boring. I am not saying I […]

I want to write a book
I would like to write a book about my journey through depression, as now I feel as I learnt to deal with it. The book will be divided in chapters of which a typical question by a psychologist, such as “how about your parents?” is the name of the chapter and the answer is the […]
