I been feeling down for quite some time with episodes since 2015. I felt I wasnt myself and was trench in guilt and anxiety. But somehow some lessons earlier this year brought me out of it and the transition/transformation change my thinking and I knew I wasnt facing those depressive moods again. Here's my journal entry on Facebook on 7 jan which I like to share how I got rid of my mood and thoughts from 2015. ▫◻▫◻▫◻▫◻▫◻▫◻▫◻▫◻▫◻
Just one lesson in Abnormal Psychology, I learnt that being abnormal is perfectly normal. Some of abnormalities are just definitions, society constructs. Actually being diagnosed as abnormal is actually more common than you think it is.

I used to think why arent I like most people? Why m I like this? Is something wrong with me? Well first of all there is one thing called stubborness and status quo. But there's another thing called plasticity which is related to changability and adaptability. BUT LAST OF ALL, there is acceptability.

Sometimes we just deviate from the norm, we want to know if its correct or wrong. But the world is not black and white. In between these two there is a spectum of colour called grey. Even white and black have different forms, some are warm black others a cool white. Being fixated on becoming a flawless version of myself is bringing me no where. Humans are not perfect beings.

Somehow in (Asian) culture, we always think that as long as we are hardworking and care enough, we can change ourselves. But when we cant and fail on expectations we may become depressed.

There is always an ongoing struggle between accepting unconditionally one's own flaws and ignorance to change. Some people can be too hrash on themselves trying to improve themselves others are just indifferent about themselves. There is struggle to recognise what requires acceptance and what requires change.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts and experiences in the description!
I like this picture mostly because there is some kind of emotion there. I can't exactly tell which emotions, but their faces somehow speak.
