haha! i disturb my mummy and dadddy everyday when i’m bored!

20. actively call ur frens/families – ask how r they doing – share some joke – make them happy

(at first, i was sad about no one calling me after i transfer degree to a new university, but after that i found out, i’m the one who is too free to think about anything nonsense, so i try to GIVE my call/fb/ watapps them actively )

in order to receive, u muz give first 🙂

21. consistently do some volunteer nearby ur place ( u can search online)
(like for me, i like children, so i’ll choose to teach, buy something for them
care for them )

22. i oso saw some volunteer grp, they even doing some skype wif children, teach them to read whenever they r free, make some birthday cards/ any celebration cards to them

( u can choose any volunteer base on ur interests)

talk to little angels in the classroom 😀

smile 🙂

make others and urself smile 😉

though it wasnt easy to be a teacher, especially when i have to teach them Mandarin by using English

i got teased a lot by my students and some secondary will also give me a look that “why this teacher’s speaking sound funny?”

and though i had spent a lot time on that student , he didnt care about it and another even end my tuition though i gave him extra free tuition, and i’m bad in manage class and always end up scolding my students and gave me unhapponess though

i hurt a lot from what i cant archieve at first, felt depressed

but i know I HAVE TWO CHOICES:

I CAN CHOOSE TO BE DEPRESSED, SAD about my teaching method

or I CAN CHOOSE TO LET GO MY IMPERFECTION AND LEARN MORE

due to some of my pride, i persuade myself half-half in this situation…

EVERYDAY I HAVE TWO CHOICES:

CHOOSE TO BE SAD or CHOOSE TO BE HAPPY

CHOOSE TO THINK A LOT then get depreesed and anxiety or
CHOOSE TO TALK TO OTHERS ACTIVELY/ CARE FOR OTHERS

CHOOSE THE SAD SIDE OF LIFE or
CHOOSE THE BRIGHT SIDE OF LIFE 🙂

good luck Hannah!!
you can make it!!
nothing is unsolvable!!

pray harder for guidance and sleep early before 10.30pm （because after 11pm we will be more emotinal, scientist said ）
take more morning sunshine, more exercises, different kinds of vegetables, fruits, nuts, seeds, extra virgin oil,

last but no least, be thankful for three small little things everyday when you wake up 🙂
🙂

and Somehow and that very crucial time, i suddenly think about God, haha…

I talked to Him in my head, and then gradually

i calmed myself

and very mysteryly, i stopped crying and start watching entertainment show for almost 3 days

and did nothing, haha…

after 3 days, i suddenly (again) get inspired and wanted to try to be an property agent…

after that although it wasnt successful, but very fortunately i got scholarship and finally can go back

to study…

I remembered I am souless two years back when i wasn’t study in univeristy.

everyday i woke up, i hated my life.

because i’m merely breathing and living just to go to work as a sales promoter

and i cried a lot whenever i back home or i’m alone

I didnt know what to do in my life

I didnt know what can I do or contribute in future, I didnt even know what I’m living for

so sometime i will think about commit suicide, but when i think about my parents who worked hard and loved me for years

then i give up that thought even though my heart was really really pain…

hi dear Hannah, i don’t know that if i can help u or not, i’m just wanted to share something with you… 🙂

i also had depression and anxiety for only almost two years…

it was just about stupid broken heart with a guy…

(please forgive if my English wasn’t good enough, because i’m Mandarin native speaking :p )

but after i change my university, i started get busy with life, catching assignments’ deadline, part-time work as well

i’m busy with everything then i started to forget my grief…

actually i have a long story wanted to share with you but i don’t know where to start…

i know that i feel depression and anxiety and lonely

and get cold easily because

at that time I HAD NOT PURPOSE IN LIFE.

i’m type of person who like to think a lot and sensitive a lot and low self esteem

but i kind of know your feeling…
