A Day In My Life (Mood Swings)

 Today, I felt suffocated with a wave of overthinking. I couldn’t handle my thoughts. I went for a walk on the beach, hoping to get them released. I couldn’t!

I kept taking photos and videos of the sea to distract my mind. That distraction didn’t work.

I cried and just talked to the wind! “I can’t manage it anymore. I want to leave this world. I can’t do it, not only because I don’t have the guts to do it but because it might get others into trouble. The police interrogators would ask why she took her life. If they knew my secret, this would be a scandal to my whole family. I don’t want my death to bring me relief at the expense of bringing shame to my family. I’m not self-centred or inconsiderate. I care about my family and those who care about me."

At some point, I came to an area of hotels where it’s not allowed to walk. I decided to turn back and go home but I saw some puppies. I get closer to them and I found that a man was feeding them. He started a chat with me and offered to walk with me.

By the time I arrived home, I felt more relaxed and comfortable. I didn’t have these suffocating thoughts anymore. What a magic! Just a small chitchat with an unknown person could improve my mood. I always believed in people. Humans are evil but they could make a change, a good change. They have magic powers. It’s said time is a healer. I believe that social interactions can heal better than time.
