 Hi guys , today I am going to be talking about myself. My name is Jocelyn Ng Shu Yee. You can call me Joy for short. My Korean name is Kim Eun Ji. I am an INFJ and an empath.  I have three lovely hamsters. They are winter whites and one Robo hamster. I am 20 years old this year. I'm currently working as part-time in The Everly Putrajaya Hotel. I'm planning to take diploma in counselling later after I finished my papers on Biology and mathematics. I am currently battling depression ( MDD with anxious distress) and I have borderline personality disorder. I also battling self-harm. Sometimes I have suicidal ideation. I even attempted suicide before. But that's ok. Battling mental health can be hard for me. That's why I chose to become a mental health advocate to help others who are having the same issues as me. I am a Christian and I go to church on Sunday to get the word of God in me . God is so good to me. And sometimes I ponder about Him. Haha  I have two brothers that...

Suicide is often a taboo to talk about . Suicide should be considered as a serious topic and should not be forbidden to talk about . In here , I going to explain what is suicide and we as a society can help those with suicidal ideation. So what is passive suicide ?  Passive suicide is someone having suicidal thoughts but has no plan to go initiate it . What about active suicide? Active suicide is when someone has the thoughts about suicide and has a plan to carry it out . Either one , we should take all suicide seriously. So how can we help someone who is suicidal?  1) Use empathy 2) Recognise the warning signs  3) Reach out and ask " are you ok ?" 4) Be direct ( ask about suicide)  5) Access risk and don't panic  6) it's a crisis, stick around 7) Listen and offer hope 8) Help your loved one make a safety plan 9) Help them tackle the mental health care system 10) Explore tools and support online 11) Encourage them to talk about their feelings What are the warnin...

 Today I'm going to talk about self - harm .      What comes through your mind when you hear about self -harm ?  Self-harm is a non suicidal self injury ( NSSI ) that caused intentionally harm to one self's own body. Self harm can be in a form of cutting, pulling one's own  hair , punching and burning of the skin . Self harm can also include abuse of alcohol and drugs and etc .  The main reason why people self harm is because they want to escape from their emotional pain . Self harm should be taken seriously and should not be taken as attention seeking 🧐 Signs one might self harm would be : 1) Wearing  long sleeves or pants that could hide their self harm scars .  2) Pulling of their hair  3) misusing alcohol and drugs 4) Expressing a wish to punish themselves 5) Signs of low self-esteem such as blaming themselves for any problems  6) Becoming very withdrawn or not speaking to others  7) Signs of low mood such as depression or...

I don't have anything to talk about.I feel lonely and I often ponder why other people can have ideas to talk about . I mean like seriously saying. HOW THE HELL THEY HAVE IDEAS ? I always like to listen to other people's speech instead of talking  And now when I ponder about it , it makes me feel strange but exciting as well .  Exciting meaning that I am able to listen to other people's messages and speech .And I find it very interesting about people. They can just talk about anything while I am just sitting being quiet most of the time.  Now it all makes sense to me haha By Jocelyn Ng Shu Yee 

 

 Here's another favourite song of mine . A very powerful and meaningful song to encourage people that they are not alone .

Aaahh loneliness...... Have you ever felt that before?  Some of us, or probably most of us, do.  Now, what's the definition of loneliness? To me, loneliness means being alone in this world with nobody beside you holding your hands or the feelings of loneliness that sit right at the core centre of your heart. The excruciating fact about this is unexplainable. How does loneliness affect us, and how does overthinking about it make it worse? Being alone in any situation has already made it worse,  right, folks?  But overthinking about it is like making you suffer in hell ( even though we are not in hell ).  Loneliness kills, and that fact never ceases to be true. It is actually eating you alive from the dark pit. For example, Lucy feels alone cause she has nobody to talk to or anybody in her life to rely on. However, Lucy overthinks it as she feels she will not be able to be free from loneliness.  And that overthinking makes Lucy feel 10 times worse.  But ...
