I had a very hard week, but I guess I'm proud I survived it. I struggled with my PTSD and had a lot of anxiety and obsessive thoughts. However, I managed to get through it and didn't give up.

In the future, I look forward to finding inner peace and learning to manage my symptoms better.

As for my favourite drinks, I enjoy piña coladas without alcohol, fruit juices, and cold iced tea.

Not sure if it counts but... I finally opened up about one of my career issues with my friends which I initially wasn't thinking it would be a burden on them. Turns out, they were rather very enthusiastic to answer my queries and even motivated me to take the risk I was fearing of. This was suffocating me for a very long time now and I had no idea whom to turn to to get a clear idea.

Feeling better after months. Whew!


What is one thing that you are looking forward to in the future?

γ-Normid Meteor Shower peaking on 15th March!


What is your favourite drink? (hot or cold!)

Anything that's readily available and I don't have to prepare XD

Nothing, since my father's death last July I can't do any progress in my MA thesis, and now the college sent me the annual installment and I still don't have the motivation to do anything.

To finish my MA thesis.

Coca-cola and hot tea

I am so sorry to hear about your father's death, DinaElwy. it must be so difficult trying to grieve his loss whilst also maintaining your MA thesis. I really hope you can finish it soon, remember we are here for you 💙
