Hi guys, how are you feeling? I’ve been wanting to do an official post regarding my situation but I never had the time until today.
As some may already know my dad has been in and out of the hospital since April-May for serious health problems. I along with family members have been looking after him. He just got discharged a couple days ago for the I don’t know how many times already. I lost count tbh. THIS IS THE REASON WHY I HAVEN’T BEEN UPDATING ANY NEW EPISODES FOR MY CURRENT LAKORNS!!!!! I know some people don’t have social media so they’re not aware of my situation so hopefully this post you are aware now. I can’t physically be on the computer translating like I used to anymore but I try to sub here and there when I can. I don’t like being behind either.
Taking care of my dad these past few months have been hard on me emotionally and mentally. I’m the kind of person that doesn’t like talking about my feelings much or personal matter overall. I keep everything to myself especially my emotions. It’s even difficult to write this out because I feel it’s personal to me but last month in June (if you remember I had to be offline) I was at a breaking point. My emotions were overflowing (just imagine pouring water in a glass nonstop). I think I developed anxieties along with other mental health issues I didn’t realized I was living with until last month. It may seemed like I was doing fine because I was online most of the time tweeting and fangirling. It was my only way of escape from the environment and situation I was in. I really wanted to pack my bags and leave everyone/everything behind, like I really did but I couldn’t. I lost like 7lbs during those shitty weeks because I couldn’t enjoy the food I was eating. I cried almost everyday in my room because I was feeling hopeless, helpless, frustrated, anger, sad. I cried to strangers when asked how I was doing. I couldn’t even enjoy the things I enjoyed doing. It was just bad.
I’ve put everyone’s needs and feelings before mine which is sometimes bad. I feel like just because I’m quiet and nice people take advantage of that. I’m learning how to say no or to speak up when I feel I need to defend myself. I’m learning how to pause and breathe. I know sounds silly but it does help calm my nerves when I do get anxieties. I’ve actually joined an online community to talk about the struggles and I get to read other people’s struggles as well. It does make me feel kind of better knowing that I’m not alone and there are people out there that are doing worse than me.
If you’re asking how am I doing or feeling, right now I am doing just okay. I wish it was better but it’s not so bad. So I just wanted to write this to let everyone know what’s been happening and if you don’t see any updates of new episodes, or I’m not online as much just be aware of my situation I’m in and be patient and kind. I know some of you guys are, but some of you don’t know or do know but still ask for new episodes so….that’s just inconsiderate :/
Have a good day and be kind to people because you don’t know what struggles they are going through 🙂

Hi Thippy, my experience is take one day at a time, when everything seems to be lost try to find one bright/positive thing and focus on that. Cry when you have to and hope that this is just the downside of the roller coaster ride and now you are on your way up. Take care of yourself and I hope everything works out well for your dad and your family

I haven’t been watching much Thai dramas lately and so didn’t realize you’ve been gone. But I do come back to check your website here and there when I have time. Anyway, I’m so sorry to hear about what you went through. But oh my goodness, I think feel you because my dad also had a serious health problem this year too. He was in the hospital for well over a month and more than one discharge too. It was very tough on the family and as it’s during the pandemic, it’s even worse. The hospitals are very strict at this time. But not only that, we had to deal with bad hospital staff and I pretty much cried one night too. It’s such a horrible experience. And we almost lost my dad. It was so hard. He’s currently in a stable condition at the moment but we have a ways to go. I really just wanted to get up and leave at times too. I hope everything goes well for you and your family and that you could get some rest and feel better after all you went through.
thippy
I hope for your dad’s speedy recovery too

It’s okay not to be okay Thippy. All these things happening to us are really really depressing. Like you, I’m also in this state of anxiety and depression because of this pandemic. I am a front liner and it really really breaks my heart to think when this will end. It feels like forever. All of us have are experiencing struggles in life and I know we can do surpass all these adversities. Don’t hesitate to share your feelings with us. Su su na kah!

Hi Thippy, I’ve been in your, situation years ago before my mom passed away. She was in and out from the hospital, I have 2 other siblings but those two passed on the obligation to me of taking Care of my mom. I have 1 daughter she was high school that time, that I had to leave her alone in the house because I had to be with my mom in the hospital and my husband is working overseas. Imagine the dilemma of being physically in the hospital but my mind is occupied with my daughter being alone. I surrender everything to God and I feel blessed too because I have dogs who gave me strength to overcome it. Be strong and keep the faith alive you will surely survive all the trials. God bless you.

I wish you well moving forward and may things become better soon. (:

Dear Thippy,
Very sorry to hear about the trauma that you are going through now. I know words are too little to comfort you and relieve the anxiety from your heart/mind but please do remember that these bad times are here now, they’ll be gone tomorrow. It’s a phase of downturn that you’re facing now, soon it’ll be time for a better turn of events in your life. So please keep fighting and keep chanting positive ‘mantra’s to counter this period of darkness. Also, you know in your heart that you’re doing whatever possible for your dad to recover, so keep faith in your efforts and leave the rest to the Almighty. You are loved by not only your near and dear ones but even strangers like me, please be assured….we’ll keep you in our prayers and hope that you come out of this state of despair and despondency as soon as possible, CHEERS

I understand your situation. I lost my mom and grandmother within one year. I looked after them. The only thing that kept me afloat was cooking. I cooked a lot of all kinds of recipes. I hope you will be fine. And you can find a hobby that can relax you. Take care! Su Su na

You continue to do you, until your ready. Take a break, it’s summer! Spend time with your family & love ones, that’s what matter the most.
I pray that God gives you and your family health & strength to endure, whatever life throws at you.

Hi Thippy,
I completely understand your situation. I am currently taking care of my mom almost full time, working and going to uni. It’s really stressful so don’t worry and make sure to take a break for yourself. I know its harder said than done because I still need to take care of myself too. We’d rather have you take a break than disappear completely. Just know that we wishing happiness and good health for both you and your family!

Hi Thippy,
Thank you for sharing your thoughts and feelings with us. I am sure it’s not easy to go through everything you have been and still going through. Life is never an easy road, so I truly hope you find the strength to fight whatever you are going through and become an even more stronger person to face anything that comes in your way. Let’s live with hope, I am sure better days are ahead of you.
Just like you, we, including me, have faced or will face these moments in life. Something that had helped me during tough times is to think of at least one positive thing within a situation that has 99 negative things. Like you said, some have it way worst than others, so some of us are actually blessed to have what we have. Take all the time you need to heal yourself; especially your mind. Do whatever that makes you happy and feel peaceful.
Trust me, you’re not alone. We all have our own battles. Sending you and your family prayers and love. I hope everything gets better soon.

Thippy, I know how you feel. It is due to all the years of mental/physical and sexual abuse since I was a child…I brokedown in my 30s..And I had to hide myself in a dark room. After 10yrs of weekly therapy..I am now able to face the world. I am sorry to hear of your experience. But the love you have for your loved one can take alot from you when they need you. Please stay strong. Your project here is secondary to your own life. Dont let pressure get to you. Just pace yourself to recovery. Each day please remember you have tons of fans supporting you. Time will heal your soul…

That so true, no one knows what’s happening behind the doors ! I think 2020/2021 taught us not to take things for granted and to be patient. Fans should wait patiently for the subs. That being said, I know you are strong person and things will get better eventually 🙂 su su na
