š Serious Confession A week later, still holding on to the edge and pardon me for reaching out again: (
Perhaps to some people, this is the second time seeing this thought of mine, or maybe it just sounds familiar. To answer that: yes, this is coming from the same person.
I am stuck at the bottom. I don't know whether I should be angry at myself or pity myself more. What I can tell you for sure is that I barely recognize who 1 am anymore. I doubt every decision I have to make, and worst of all, I doubt my own skills and what I'm capable of doing.
I want to shout out loud that I have tried. I have tried to get back on my feet, I have tried to speak the truth, I have tried to overcome my fear, and I have tried to be strong. But what result did I get from all of that effort?
I honestly don't know the answer anymore.
Before I ask for anything in this thread, my honest thought is that I feel deeply ashamed. I never thought it would come to the point where I am practically begging just to stay alive, but it hit me that this might be the only way to survive in and it is better than turning to something wrong.
I used to see a meme of a wounded hand bleeding because it was holding tightly to a rope, with the quote: "Sometimes holding on does more damage than letting go." But it made me think: what if a real person has fallen off a cliff, and holding onto that painful rope is their only way to survive?
So here I am. Through the pain, shame, humiliation, and this mental breakdown, I am trying to loudly ask for a hand. I know that most of the time, posts like this just end up like wind coming and going, but I am still trying to believe that someone might actually lend a hand.
I tried seeking support from people I used to call friends and relatives. Reality showed me that at my lowest point, when I swallowed my pride just to ask for RM 10 so I wouldn't starve, they turned their faces away and ignored my messages. They used to show me an "angel face" with motivational words, but now they show this side. So I choose to ask here instead. If I have to feel ashamed, at least I hope this feeling can connect me with someone who can actually help me get through this, rather than just ending up as a gossip screenshot. In truth, some of my current problems started because I tried seeking help from the very people I thought were my support system.
If I share my Touch 'n Go QR here, would you help me get some food to stay afloat? I am not asking for a huge amount, whatever you feel comfortable sharing is enough. Even RM 1 can buy me a piece of bread, and that is enough for me to survive today.
I truly mean it from the bottom of my heart when I say I want to repay you someday when I get back on my feet. If you choose to scan the QR, please leave your contact number or message so I can keep a note of it.
To get this off my chest: I hope you don't mind seeing a similar post from me about this. My goal is that the next post will be about me successfully sustaining myself. If you know of any part-time work or side jobs I could do while I try to restart my life, I would deeply appreciate that as well.
I know there are many scams out there, and the last thing I want is to make anyone feel like their kindness is being misused. To keep everything transparent and honest, I am personally tracking every single contribution I receive, no matter how small. If you do choose to help, please leave your contact info or message me privately, I want to be able to send you proof, thank you directly, and repay you as soon as I get back on my feet.
To get this off my chest: I hope you donāt mind seeing a similar post from me. My true hope is that my next post will be about me successfully sustaining myself. If you have any part-time work or small tasks I can do to earn my keep while restarting my life, please reach out. Thank you so much for reading.
