be thankful enough
okay..
so i have just finished my duties for this summer..
*thank god*
and the most memorable one would be
during my
PSYCHIATRIC exposure..
i really enjoyed it.. and i Learn to
APPRECIATE THINGS
WHY?
at first i was scared because
I DON'T KNOW how to interact with the them
i mean,
it's my first time to meet people who are not really oriented to reality..
as in.. each of them has their OWN WORLD.
in every corner in the ward
i could spot 2 or more patients doing different things..
and they don't interact with each other..
it's also my first time to observe someone who keeps on pacing..
and i meant it.. as in.. walking BACK and FORTH without stopping..
and i always wonder.. DOESN'T SHE GET TIRED?
and then there were also those, who's just on the corner..
staring out on the window.. while TALKING..
and there were also those who will suddenly cry and then shout
while the others will laugh at her..
each of them has their own story
and they knew very well why they GOT there..
some of them are very willing to share their life, while some will just give random thoughts..
schizophrenic patients were kinda hard to handle
because.. they have flight of ideas...
they jump from one subject to another in just a mere second..
while Bipolar patients were easy enough as long as they are not on their depressed mood.
because if they are on manic phase.. they are willing to participate in every activity and often share stories.
but if they're not.. then..
it's hard to persuade them to talk.. because.. it might cause them to OUTBURST..
most of the patients were there for already a long time..
different stories..
Some were there because of being abused, while some were brought by their relatives,
there also those who were abandon, maltreated, and lot more..
i know that all of them missed their home
and always longing for the love of their family..but
on the SAD SIDE..
they have NO FAMILY
i mean.. only FEW of them recieves a visit..
and it's not like they visit every week.. but ONCE IN A BLUEMOON!!
how frustrating can that be?
we always need someone to talk to ,right?
someone who is willing to listen..
someone who is willing to help
but for them..
arggh!! I DON'T KNOW!
i have enjoyed talking to them..because by just listening to their stories
i know they feel loved and cared.. even for a short period of time..
i know that they appreciated our presence as their NURSING STUDENTS!
I Know that
because..
for the alotted time we were there..
WE HAVE MADE THEM SMILE!
*IN A LITTLE WAY*
so..
enough.. with my STORY...
what i'm trying to say is that
we.. who are not on their world
MUST BE THANKFUL TO WHATEVER WE HAVE RIGHT NOW!!
we must appreciate everyone who's always there for us
SPECIALLY OUR FAMILY AND FRIENDS
I ALWAYS THANK GOD that i'm able to survive every problem that comes..
and that i have a stable life.. that i don't need to undergo some risky jobs..
so before it's too late..
LET US ALWAYS THANK GOD FOR EVERYTHING WE HAVE!
WE MUST NOT FORGET TO APPRECIATE EVERY LITTLE THING THAT COMES IN OUR WAY...
*JUST SHARING*
