Boom! I changed from a healthy, vibrant lady to a sickly lady who practically made the hospital her home.
I watched as my dreams of attending the prestigious university flew through the window.
I was in the hospital for months, and a lot of the drugs prescribed by the doctors messed me up with adverse side effects.
At some point, I told myself, "You know what? I am not doing this again." I asked for my discharge papers and left the hospital.
Over time, I learned how to cope with my movement disorder. I learned what to do and what not to do when it comes to having spasms. Gradually, I got used to it, and I became better.

During this experience, I was at a point where I lost hope of getting better. I was so down and depressed that I was just a line away from committing suicide.
Then, there was a day I had some reactions from one of those drugs, and I was rushed to the emergency unit of the hospital. At some point, I felt myself slipping away, but I could hear my sister calling out my name and begging me not to die. My grandma was on the floor, rolling in tears. I passed out.
When I became stable again, I promised myself to cling to hope and stay alive for these people whom I love.
This experience taught me to always hold on to hope. I need hope to stay alive. I need hope to have a positive mindset. Hope also helps me to achieve my goals.
Various experiences I've had have taught me to always be hopeful in every situation.
One of the things I have done to boost my belief and conviction is to list my goals. For example, when I was ill, my goal was to recover and get back to my normal self.
I continuously reminded myself that my condition isn't permanent, and I loved to reminisce about how happy I was before the movement disorder and how happy I'll be when I recover.
I also learned to pray to God for my recovery.
Thanks for coming to my blog!

I often wonder how really useful or effective drugs; Citalopram, Bupripion, etc that actually useful for treating depression. In the past, I've taken my fair share of various drugs that hardly help relieve the main issue. Getting sufficient exercise, eating right, having enough sleep and socializing with positive friends got me out my mindset.💙
I'm glad you're better now.
Mental anguish through pain, your decision to walk away from drugs, learn to cope on your own, a mental power few realize is able to pull one through exceptionally negative times.
