When I was deeply depressed a few months ago, I experience significant anhedonia. I didn't look forward to anything. Previous to the episode, I was a girl with a lot of interests. I look forward to learn new things. But then, I just want to disappear. I saw no point in everything. I wanted to [...]

headspace | emdr: patient’s perspective [part three]
Hey guysss.. ❤️ I had my real first EMDR session last Wednesday, and boy was it tiring! I drove back to Melaka right after the session, and had been sleep-wake up-eat-sleep for two days after, much to my psychiatrist disappointment since he told me to exercise more. Hehe. Oh well, exercise can wait. But seriously, if [...]
headspace | jitters
I'll be having my third EMDR therapy tomorrow. It's the first actual EMDR session, and I'm getting jitters. This is just a post where I ramble about the jitters. Soo.. this may be a tad bit boring. 😅 Art from Google. Nadirah, you're doing this for yourself. This is your life, and you have to [...]
headspace | emdr: patient’s perspective [part two]
Here is the [part one] of the series. Whilst writing this entry, I'm not in the best of mood. I don't know whether I am annoyed or angry or am I feeling betrayed? Whatever it is, I am aware that there's quite a big chance that this lovely brain of mine is freaking out and exaggerating [...]
headspace | emdr: patient’s perspective [part one]
As part of me recording my journey to recovery, I'll write down how the sessions go for my Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy. There will be some things that I prefer not to disclose, but I promise that I'll try to jot down as much as I can so you peeps who are searching [...]
headspace | shrink and meds
I finally managed to drag myself to find a psychologist last Saturday (yay me! 😆). However, as life turned out to be, I met a pretty awesome psychiatrist whom I click with immediately. Basically, I went to The Mind Faculty in the first place because I was drawn to their effort to educate Malaysians about mental [...]
headspace | part of me
I facetimed Isabelle today. Both of us were in our gym clothes, about to have a jog. But, facetime sounded more interesting! 😂 I feel better emotionally than before. Andd.. There she was seeing right through me. AGAIN. 🙄 It annoys me that I can't lie to her! She sees through all my bs. And God [...]
headspace | wall [part four]
My fingers got tired from typing too much too fast. Just in case you're wondering (I don't think you'd care), I'm doing a Bridget Jones' marathon on telly while writing this. Bridget just makes everything better, doesn't she? 🎀 . Art from cinyma.tumblr.com. . Dealing with anxiety is an uphill battle, and it does take [...]
headspace | wall [part three]
Okay, okay. I too hope this is the last installment of the wall posts after wall [part two]. But it isn't. 😅 . Here are some of the tips for how to help a friend with anxiety. I couldn't emphasise it more - note that every person is different, and each person has different needs. [...]
headspace | wall [part two]
I had to reread my post on wall [part one] because..I've forgotten about what I ranted about. 😅 And when I reread the post, I can't remember what I wanted to let you know on this post. Heh, I'm a grandma, guys. A few days (weeks) after, just as I was eating my lunch, whoop-de-dooo! [...]
