betapa aku kecundang sekali lagi depan Val. her words poked me, directly hit my soft spot and i burst into tears.
lewat tengahari - hari ahad.
aku keseorangan, literally. i thought i'm going to be ok even if i'm alone on these days because Val has taught me several techniques to deal with my emotions.
example,
1. breathe properly.
all you need to do is to take a deep breath. breathe from your belly. inhale slowly and exhale slowly. do it for two times first. do not rush.
2. use your five senses.
first, run your fingers to the nearest thing to you. you can run through your cheeks. feel it. do they feel warm? cold? wet? dry? relax. can you feel your back against the chair you sit on? can you feel your mattress you lie on? how does it feel? soft? hard? wriggle your fingers toes. can you feel your socks? close your eyes. listen to the sounds in your surrounding. can you hear buses honking? people on constructions yelling? the couple next door shouting and throwing things?
3. if you are crying, it's ok.
walk several steps away from where you are now. go to the kitchen. take a glass of water and drink. slowly, take a sip. breathe. now, take another round to drink.
4. always have your phone with you.
well, things might get worst sometimes. so, quickly reach the Youthline or Crisis team. text or call them. make sure you save both teams' numbers as the first one in your contact list. or perhaps, save them on one of your speed dials.

nampak mudah. nampak senang. but believe me. it's never been easy to fight the SHA.
try walking a mile in my shoes - i bet you won't get the slightest chance to take even one step ahead. you'll stumble the minute you attempt it.
