    I’ve been feeling my worst this week. I got sick since last friday and now it seems I reached the peak of my illness. I have amygdalitis, and I feel like dying a little bit everytime I swallow the most imsignificant liquid. It’s forever interesting to me, how I lost my temper over the simplest things because the physical wouldn’t go away. I didn’t allow myself to share what I was feeling with anyone, I needed to be a pilar of strength, I was certain my health would bounce back quite fast. Only it didn’t, and there I was talking (or trying to lol) to my dad like a little baby. I was taking my medicine already and was resting too. But it seems like I had to be vulnerable with someone. To acknowledge that the pain was making me tormented and depressed and that I needed support and pat om the shoulder. Ultimately, my father took me to the hospital and I was quickly taken by the doctor. She was a very lovely lady and she prescribed me some medicine that would be better for the severe condition I was in. I also had a needle on my butt which is not very cute lol but that’s okay. After that experience I just felt so much better. The pain is still here, diminishing very very slowly, but I felt a comfort I couldn’t feel throughout this disease. Anyways, bottom line is: open up guys, don’t suffer in silence, be it physical or emotional, let it be a “thing” in your life and your conversations instead of keeping it hidden. And this one is for me: be patient, everything is gonna be okay.

    Dear Donatto:

    Welcome back and thank you for your pleasant post regarding your unpleasant experience with illness. I am glad you opened up to your father who responded well to you, taking you to the doctor and providing you with the comfort you needed. It is amazing how another person, when it is an attentive, loving person, can comfort us in times of distress. I hope your physical discomfort is gone very soon.
