It has been a stressful year for me especially for the past 6 months. So stressful I got, one fine morning, I had a meltdown.
I called May and started crying. Then she told me to take the day off and go to her place. So I called my boss and told him I am having a bad day and need to take the day off and he said okay – no questions were asked.
I grabbed to see May and she saw how tired I was with so many things. Then she asked me, “What do you want to do?” I told her, I just want to go away. Then she said, “Let’s go then. Let’s plan a trip to go away.” And that was it.
We planned a trip to go to Bangkok. I went away with her so I can take a breather and find peace. I came back. Then esok, I will masuk kerja balik.
Our own mental health is important indeed. Don’t go crazy. Seek help for support. Take a break. Make our own mental health a priority. Pace ourselves if need be, so we can finish the race without burning out.
And remember, it’s okay to fall down sometimes. When we do, we just need to also remember to get back up, and go back up.
