Family Ties

-
Missing my family got me crying on my commute to work lol.

Hardest time of the year to be away from them. Ramadan is always so lovely, but I’m not able to celebrate it with them at all. I see funky things, do crazier stuff, but I have to wait until they’re awake or I’m available to tell them. They’d have so many things to say about my listening to Bayoshkop at midday.

People don’t realise how lucky / blessed they are if they get to be with their families still. I don’t realise how blessed I am that I still have my own set, alive and waiting for me to come back.

Can’t wait to go back, even if for the briefest period of time. I miss my land and I miss my people. Even if I build a life here, this place will never be my own. Bangladesh will always be home. That’s where my heart is.

absolutely cannot wait to go back

if someone has any tips on moving on, please let me know. i never learned how to get over anything ever. there is no way in hell that i'm sobbing while my friend sleeps peacefully next to me. i genuinely believed being around other people and spending time away would help with my head, but i think i just carry my sorrows with me no matter where i go. i can't escape it. it's a never-ending hell. and tomorrow is another day. i'll be commuting to work, then making my way home. hopefully watching some lectures and catching up on the massive backlog of work that i should really get to as soon as is possible. i'm going to be so fine again. as always, i'll be at my best. 10/10. happy and smiling every damn time. saw pictures of myself on my society's page by the way. i look so incredibly happy, laughing at something i can't even remember. i hate the pictures. i hate everything about me in them. what i hate the most is how unlike myself i felt that day, but no o

TW: Sensitive content. one last post about this while i'm still at seclab and the jukebox plays. thanks for your advice, chat. this is my final goodbye. - this is a lot more difficult than i thought it would be. i genuinely believed that i could just sit down and spill everything, but i may no longer have any tears left to cry. which would make sense. all i've done is cry about this for the last 39281923 days anyway. we'll see where this goes. i'm going to write whatever comes to me. it won't make sense. - i have the greatest friends in the world. people who are happy to listen to me talk and talk again about the same thing. and give me advice too, even when it's the same advice they gave me the first time i talked about it. people who are actually willing to go to war against me, for me. i'm convinced that i wouldn't be alive today if i didn't have some of these people in my life. to the friends that i used to have and the ones whose presence still

on stress and anxiety (and other things)

Batman's really been going through it, no joke. I've been falling ill more often recently. I called in sick to work on Monday because I went to sleep at 5AM after finally submitting an assignment that was long overdue. I woke up at 7, in time for work, but the thought of having to see people was making my head spin and I wanted to throw up. The stress and anxiety was getting to me. My deteriorating mental health has been manifesting itself in physical symptoms. It's been getting worse. I absolutely spiralled that day. I also didn't have that many people who I could speak to, and it felt like any minute now, I was going to crumble into tiny little pieces. Thoughts of suicide have been more common again recently as well. I haven't been wanting to actively commit, but I've thought that maybe waking up the next day wouldn't be too bad. Could hang myself. Could cut myself. Could jump in front of a moving car right now. I almost did too. The more I try to sort thi
