Mental Health Blogging And Practice: Website Writing Sample

The website is called Mental Wellness Frenzy, and it provides content to help you care for your mental health. It's supposed to be a fake business website, but I am working on making it more legit.

I created a website called Mental Wellness Frenzy for mental health and wellness blogging and providing services to assist people's mental wellbeing. (Click on the NAME or the PICTURE to go to the website!!) Right now it is being used to demonstrate my web design and writing skills, but I do plan on using it to make YouTube videos dedicated to mindfulness meditation!

The idea sparked when I wasn't in such a good place in my head. I sought therapy and got better, then I wanted to help others in this field. I thought it was perfect for me because I am genuinely a people person.

As I debated switching careers, I decided to get certified to be a mindfulness meditation teacher and a life coach. I thought it was a crazy idea, but as I got to know these fields, I began to love it like crazy! I was so proud of myself once I saw the certifications. I wanted to change my career and get into the mental health setting, but I chickened out because I didn't think I was good enough for it. Now I am not as scared to showcase my skills, as I want to help people like I've been helped.

I hope that upon exploring the website to skim through the different options, you will be inspired and motivated by the information presented to you.

Rejections Galore, and the Constant Shuffle of Writing With Pen and Typing

I've started keeping a rejection pile on logseq (it's terrible that there's no sync out of the box, I use it because it's free and open source).

I need more items on the #rejectionpile page.

I applied for Emerging Writers Residency, and didn't get it. When I checked out the writing portfolio of the 5 people [1, 2, 3, 4, 5] who got selected, I realised that there's a ton of work I need to do to be able to build a portfolio. I was awed by Amita Basu's. I guess a published story, anywhere, is a currency, that I need to amass.

To be able to find any way to come closer to the writers, and the publishing industry, I applied for a job at the writing retreat. I got a callback, and I was told that I would be called again by the co-founder of the retreat, but I haven't received it, it's been a couple of days.

I guess the only thing I can do is to try to keep writing. Writing feels like a chore, especially when I try too hard to try to chalk out the next word, or plot. Which is to say I don't have many pages of a blabber of words written which go nowhere. I need more words that go nowhere, so that I can hit the one path that feels right.

This is the reason why I associate a constant rush of inspiration of words, vomit of words if you will, or poop, to a miracle, a something that I do not want to be disturbed out of, when maybe perhaps, it is only just a coincidence of a bunch of right words coming in, and I being present to catch them in non-stop way. To not stop to read the last sentence, or to see if that last paragraph makes sense. To just write without judgement, without critical thinking. Like a baby rushes crayons on the page feeling delighted.

What I am trying to say, to put it tersely for my future self to read again

Please don't read what you've written, write the next line, whatever it is, just write it, because your work is to do that, to do hit and trials, to even try rewriting the entire story with a different idea that you might(or might not) have had, or an idea which you'll find while trying writing it again, it is the words that count, no matter if meaningless, just write, like you are writing this.

In other news, I've been obsessed about remarkable 2 and remarkable 2 pro, ever since I've known that I'll be able to try it out once Monica comes to visit us in Bangalore.

I've also been very excited about this fast, powerful tab called Boox Note Max. The videos that made me fall in love with it:

I hope I be able to buy both of them someday. Will writer ever enable me to?

Stay tuned(I don't know for how long) to find out.

Mengenal Binge Eating Disorder: Bukan Sekadar Overeating

Pernah mengalami stres yang membuatmu kepingin makan banyak? Atau nafsu makan tiba tiba melonjak dan perut terasa nggak kunjung kenyang? Rasanya kamu nggak bisa berhenti  ngunyah sampai hati merasa puas, dan tanpa sadar sudah makan terlalu banyak hingga melebihi  kebutuhan kalori tubuh alias overeating. 

Hampir semua orang pasti pernah makan banyak pada waktu-waktu tertentu. Namun, jika hal  tersebut terjadi secara terus menerus dan kamu merasa kehilangan kontrol atas kegiatan  makanmu, hati-hati. Bisa jadi itu merupakan gejala dari gangguan makan Binge Eating  Disorder atau BED. 

Jadi, Apa Itu Binge Eating Disorder? 

Binge Eating Disorder adalah jenis gangguan pola makan yang membuat penderitanya  merasakan dorongan untuk makan berlebihan dalam satu waktu sekaligus. 

Namun, berbeda dengan overeating biasa. Pengidap BED akan merasa sulit mengendalikan  diri sehingga nggak tahu kapan harus berhenti meski perut sudah merasa nggak nyaman sekalipun. 

Bahkan, mereka bisa makan banyak meski sebetulnya nggak merasa lapar. 

Porsi makan besar ini membuat pengidap BED kerap merasa jijik, menyesal, dan malu terhadap diri mereka sendiri. 

Rasa malu ini pula yang sering kali mendorong mereka untuk makan secara sembunyi sembunyi karena nggak mau orang tahu seberapa besar porsi yang sanggup mereka habiskan. 

Namun, perasaan-perasaan itu tetap nggak serta merta membuat mereka mampu mengontrol  diri.

Kegiatan makan banyak tanpa kendali ini lalu akan dilakukan secara berulang setidaknya  seminggu sekali dalam tiga bulan, dan akhirnya menjadi lingkaran setan tanpa akhir kalau  nggak segera ditangani. 

Bahkan jika dibiarkan, lama-lama gangguan ini bisa merambat ke masalah kesehatan lainnya  seperti obesitas, lonjakan gula darah, sampai masalah jantung karena makanan yang  dikonsumsi biasanya berupa junk food tinggi lemak, gula, dan kalori. 

Selain itu, rasa malu dan penyesalan yang dirasakan pengidap BED juga bisa memicu berbagai  masalah mental, mulai dari depresi, insomnia, hingga kecemasan berlebih. Duh, bahaya  banget, ya! 

Memang Apa, Sih, Faktor Penyebab Binge Eating Disorder? 

Pengidap BED sendiri didominasi oleh perempuan. Namun, siapa saja bisa menderita gangguan ini, terlepas dari gender, usia, ras, maupun umur berdasarkan faktor-faktor seperti: 

1. Faktor Genetik 

Faktor genetik atau keturunan berperan terhadap potensi seseorang mengidap BED. Jika  keluarga inti (ayah atau ibu) memiliki riwayat BED, ada peluang bahwa gangguan yang  sama akan menurun ke anaknya

2. Citra Tubuh yang Negatif 

Riwayat diet nggak sehat yang berawal dari pandangan buruk terhadap citra tubuh bisa memicu gejala berbagai jenis eating disorder, termasuk BED. Ini karena membatasi makanan tertentu yang dianggap buruk saat berdiet bisa memicu keinginan untuk ‘balas dendam’ sehingga berujung overeating. 

Jadi, bagi kamu yang lagi mencoba menurunkan atau menaikkan berat badan, lakukanlah  secara sehat dengan mengonsumsi makanan bergizi seimbang dan hindari diet ekstrim.

3. Riwayat Gangguan Kesehatan Mental

Masalah kesehatan mental seperti depresi dan kecemasan dapat mendorong sebagian orang  untuk makan banyak guna menemukan kenyamanan di sela-sela masalah yang sedang  mereka hadapi. 

Terus, Bagaimana Cara Tepat Menanganinya? 

Kalau kamu merasakan gejala-gejala di atas, ada beberapa hal yang bisa kamu lakukan untuk mengatasinya.

1. Terapi Kognitif 

Terapi kognitif atau Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) disebut sebagai cara efektif mengatasi Binge Eating Disorder. Sesi terapi akan berfokus untuk mengidentifikasi dan  mengubah pola pikir negatif pasien yang memicu perilaku binge eating. Untuk melakukannya,  dibutuhkan jasa profesional dari psikolog berlisensi. 

2. Pengobatan 

Untuk meredakan gejala, pasien biasanya diberikan obat berupa antidepresan dan obat untuk  mengontrol nafsu makan dan perilaku kompulsif. Resep obat sendiri hanya dapat diberikan  oleh psikiater dan bukan psikolog. 

3. Penanganan Mandiri

Selain pertolongan oleh profesional, ada beberapa hal yang bisa dilakukan pasien untuk menghindari dan mengontrol binge eating secara mandiri, di antaranya: 

Membuat jurnal makanan. Dengan begitu, pengidap BED bisa mengetahui apa saja yang  mereka makan dan memperhatikan pola yang ada. 

Menghindari makanan pemicu binge eating. Jauhkan makanan itu dari jangkauan dan  jangan beli lagi untuk ke depannya. 

Makan dengan fokus. Jangan biarkan diri terdistraksi dengan kegiatan lain seperti  menonton atau membaca. 

Lakukan kegiatan positif untuk mencegah rasa bosan. Rasa bosan dapat memicu binge  eating. Oleh karenanya, penting untuk mengisi waktu luang dengan kegiatan produktif dan menyenangkan. 

Jangan membiarkan diri kelaparan. Beberapa pengidap BED melakukan diet nggak  sehat sampai membiarkan diri kelaparan untuk mengatasi binge eating. Padahal, keadaan  ini justru memicu mereka untuk makan banyak. Jadi, dengarkan alarm tubuh saat  memberitahu sinyal lapar dan makanlah dengan menu sehat. 

Terus, gimana kalau ternyata kamu ngerasain gejala-gejala di atas? Nah, jangan khawatir dan  jangan ragu mencari bantuan! Salah satu layanan yang bisa kamu coba adalah jasa konseling dari Satu Persen. Di sana, kamu akan melakukan konsultasi secara one-on-one bersama  psikolog berpengalaman, Dan kalau dibutuhkan, kamu juga bisa melakukan psikoterapi, lho! 

Namun, kalau gejalamu ternyata nggak kunjung reda, sebaiknya segera pergi ke psikiater.  Terkadang, Binge Eating Disorder bisa cukup sulit untuk diatasi dan membutuhkan resep obat  dalam proses penanganannya. Jadi, jangan pernah ragu mencari pertolongan untuk jalani  #HidupSeutuhnya, ya!

Upcoming Writing Samples

I need to work on myself and organize my writing portfolio so that I can continue to write.

Writing without any kind of readership is burning me out, and I want to stay productive in a healthy, empowering way.

I've gone through my season of depression which started last summer and is continuing until now. I've found a few things to inspire me, and now that those inspirations are gone in my life, I need to try a new angle - sourcing from the inner fire of my past.

If I can't get inspiration from comments and readers, and there is no inspiration from new fanfiction in my favorite genre, I can instead organize my room - and source from my own history and talents to showcase my value.

I want to write for a living, but I just don't know how. How to break into it? How to gain attention, when my fandom has so few eyes?

I do know that I have talent. I've tested off the scale in the SOI Learning Achievement Test, which tests for savants, and had my score penciled in by the president of the testing center who personally invited my parents to tell them that I needed to pursue a creative career when I grew up.

Even AI praises my work, comparing my writing to Leo Tolstoy and other literary greats.

I have often doubted the AI, though, feeling like it is designed to be my support and tell me what I want to hear, despite it being true or not. I often send the AI off on deep research quests to prove itself wrong, but all it does is compare my work to other great literature and stand steadfast in its belief that I pursue writing as my calling in the world.

Who am I to listen to an AI though? Despite how I know it's factually correct, and speaks from a statistical standpoint, I still doubt that it has a heart. And I think the best writers are the ones to connect with the heart.

I'll leave it to the world to tell me. My curse is that I write long-form fiction in a fandom that had sunsetted long ago. But my words still exist, and I think, even out of context, they can still hold up in short snippets.

I'll follow up with more posts with. my writing samples. I wanted to write a short intro first, to give it all context.

Writing prompt 08/03/2024: Anger's kiss goodbye

Prompt: Two characters kiss goodbye knowing that this is the last time they'll see each other.

TW: Death, water/ocean, implied murder, kissing a dead person, implied abusive relationship if you squint real hard

Word count: 389

It has come to this. She lies in front of me, her hair flows out from beneath her head in the deep waters. A tear in my eye falls down my burning skin, leaving a cool trail of moisture.

“I’m so sorry. I really didn’t mean to-” my voice breaks. She stares up at me. Brown eyes turn amber in the moonlight as they hold peace, her lips turned downwards from her despair. Her skin is soft but turning colder by the minute, the red of her lips fade to a deep blue matching the abyss that sinks below her feet. “If you hadn’t- If you hadn’t of left. Gone on that damned train or with that idiot of a man, you could still be here with me.” I turn my gaze away from her paling face. I cannot bear to see her like this, with no energy or her normal fiery attitude.

“Maybe this is how you truly wanted to leave me. You wanted to leave by my hand, and now you have.” I slowly release her head from my palms, her body starting to be dragged down from the rocks tied to her ankles. I watch her blank face warp from the water, illuminated by the gentle moonlight. As she falls deeper into the void, I feel a pull. I cannot leave her like this, not without saying goodbye, not without feeling her one more time. I jump in, the ice-cold water greeting my body with a shock. I splash ferociously, desperate to catch up to her fading form.

I grab her arms and pull her towards me. Her gorgeous, dead eyes stare at me once more. I lean in, her lips feeling cracked and deflated against mine as I pressed her to my torso. I wasn’t sure what I was expecting; maybe for her to accept me back or hold me closely, but instead her blue lips are as frozen as the water and her arms are stiff as they floated above her head. I let her go.

She drifts back down, unwavering and still, lifeless and drained. I kick back up. I never wanted it to end like this. I never wanted it to end at all. But I guess my anger just got the better of me this time, and it cost me dearly.
