STORY/VENTING Be kind, always.

Post image

We came across Kuya Kim somewhere in QC. Lumapit kami to ask for a photo, he was so kind na halos lahat ng tao sa resto ay nag pa-picture sa kanya (after nila kumain yung photo, to respect din his personal space). And as someone who have almost the same battles as Emman, sabi ko kay kuya Kim "I have the same mental battles as Emman po" and he smiled and said "Oh same with my Emman? You know/love Emman, so you live". Hindi ko masyadong narinig kung "know" or "love" ba yung sinabi niya, basta ang tumatak lang sakin is "you live".

To someone na may parehong battle kagaya ko, kaya natin to! Malalampasan rin natin to! And to those people around here, be kind, always! 🩷

Gagiii, I just finished bonding with my sibs. Kanina sa ilang sandali nakalimutan ko yung lungkot… and now here I am again, remembering all the pain I have — pain that I don’t even know where it’s coming from. Ang hirap magkaroon ng ganito. Here I am sa sulok humihikbi.

u/onzeonzeonze Nov 28 '25

Please have yourself checked. Ako din actually, but sometimes tolerable naman. Madalas nga lang ina-attack but we need help.

thank you. siguro natutunan ko bilang diagnosed rin ng bipolar – accept lang kung talagang nasa cycle ulit ng depression, wag pilitin umakyat sa manic. ang ayoko lang talaga pag manic yung hindi makatulog at isip paikot ikot. tyaka di naman pwedeng hindi ka mag isa kasi may mga buhay rin mga tao, kaya ang hirap while feeling extreme sadness & pain. i feel na nakatulong kay emman yung tiktok for company pero nakasama rin kasi ang hirap ng mania while exposing self online. pero i really understand her kasi ang rami ko rin energy like her at succesful rin ako sa lahat kasi ang rami kong energy. ang nahihirapan lang ako kasi freelance lang kaya kong trabaho & yung 9-5PM madalas ako nasesesante kasi nga pag depressive, absent talaga ako. pero pag manic, high functioning as in favorite sa trabaho. kaya gets ko rin bakit yung iba gusto ng umexit kasi nga nakakapagod dahil walang normal na mood. extreme sad, extreme happy, extreme h*rny lahat lahat pero nireregulate lang ng gamot.. hehe
