Fighting Against My Depression

Jakarta, 18 June 2020

It has been 6 months since I was diagnosed with depression and treated with medications. My emotion has subsided yet I am not feeling any better. I tend to feel down and gloomy. It is so difficult to stand up again. I am not like I used to be, who was always optimistic and diligent. I have lost myself.

First, I have made mistakes in relationship. Just because I couldn't be with the guy I love, I make relationships with other guys but they couldn't replace him. I am feeling so guilty for hurting them by giving them false hopes. Now I am with a guy whom I don't love but I couldn't just break up. I don't wanna hurt someone's heart anymore although I have to be dead inside in walking through this relationship.

Second, I gain weight quite significantly. Previously, I have successfully lost 32 kg from 86 kg to 54 kg. But since I consumed medicines, my body weight increases quite rapidly. I am now 72 kg and it seems to never go down again despite I have exercised a lot and reduced my meals. I feel all my effort is so useless. All my clothes doesn't fit anymore. I hate myself every time I see my body.

Third, I feel an intense worry about my future study. I really want to continue my study to pursue PhD degree, but I am so lack of confidence. I have made a mistake by impatiently going to the university that I didn't want to go. Now I have to pay all the consequences of my impatience. I don't have much research experience and I don't have someone to discuss and guide me to prepare a good proposal.

Now I feel I am a real looser for falling too deep in regrets and failing to get up again.

Okay, I fully accept that religion can never agree with homosexuality. I don't mind about that. Any religion may believe whatever they think it is true.

But then it cannot be a reason for them to justify their actions to other people merely based on their religion.

They, without they realise, have accused, degraded, slandered, discriminated and opressed other groups of people just because their religion don't like. They made up those accusations just to justify their religion so that they think they have a right to punish others.

Let's say, to them, homosexual is bad, nasty and evil. There is no bargain about that.
