Coping with Depression
“Depression is a state of low mood and aversion to activity that can affect a person‘s thoughts, behavior, feelings and physical well-being.”
I have read so many write-ups on how to cope up with depression. I did not really give much thought or attention to it until I lost my dearest dad. Going back now to those nice articles I read, though full of assurances and comfort, all I can say is it’s easier said than done. Losing a love one in death is really painful. You don’t know who you have until he’s gone. That’s when you miss him. The suddenness of it makes it almost surreal but reality sets in. In a blink of an eye my father is no more. Sigh.
Extracurricular Activity
Schools do not only focus on teaching academic curriculum but they also have activities where students are encouraged to join for them to exercise their talents and social skills. Such activities are called extracurricular activities.
Last February, the school, where my sons were enrolled, celebrated their foundation day. My sons were among the performers so I filed for half day leave from work to watch them. However, my eldest got sick he was not able to perform what he has been practicing for weeks. My last minute decision was to let my youngest son attend their event accompanied by his nanny while I was left with my eldest because he was having a high fever at that time. My youngest didn’t mind at all that I am not going with him, he even told his brother to be well so they can play when he gets back.
