Yeah, not sure if this is the sign for people who live in a developing country or what. It seems the the rate of people having mental health problem or depression in developing countries are slightly higher. And I think it is true.
I can really list down all the things that will stress me up and I am shocked to find out that there's really no reason for me to not being tensed or frustrated for just a moment. Let's see one the typical daily life I have...
Morning...
That annoying alarm dutifully wake me up. After grooming and dressing up, it's time for me to hit the road. As you should know, KL always having traffic congestion. No matter how hard I try, I can never calm down and stay cool. Not because I can't drive slowly following the car in front ever so closely while fearing that I might accidentally knock the car in front (especially if I have a late night sleep the day before), but some drivers were so rude they just cut your queue without even giving the signal.
Hey you! Give me a sign before you do anything, will you?!To add oil to my already burning fire, some stupid motorcyclists don't seem to care about their own life. Even on a highway, I can't really shift to another lane (even if I have put on my signal for ages) because the motorcyclists seem blind enough to not see it and drive even faster to not let me shift to the fast lane. Don't they know that if accident happened, they are the one who will have more serious injuries?
Working...
Gosh, work equal stress. Worse still, programming equals problem-solving. Not only I need to entertain customers with different attitudes and characters, I have to collect their ever challenging requirements and deliver whatever they want on time!
That's not all, when problems come, they expect you to be there 24/7 to fix it until the problem is solved. Of course, we're paid to do that. That's what they thought. And yeah, we should. Even though that will stressed ourselves up! Luckily I don't have any political issue in my office. Else, that will add more burden to my already stressful life! Not to mention all those increasing and overwhelming workloads that always manage to suffocate me...
After working hour...
Again, traffic congestion problem after the tiring day. If I don't drive, well I need to squeeze in the commuter. Gosh, squeezing in the train! I hate it! Hate it so much! The smell! The sweat! The heat! The germs & bacterias! Gosh! I wanna vomit! And guess what, I need to take one and a half hour to reach home! Yes, standing and squeezing! Breathing the "fresh air" in the crowded train! And I can curse continuously in the train if the train was delayed! It's like out of 10 times, 8 times I will have to wait for the delayed train to finally reach the station so I can get on board! Train delayed means longer hour will be taken to reach home. And I hate waiting! Come on, after working my ass off for hours for the whole day, I want to get home as soon as possible! No wonder KL still congested with cars!
And getting home late means dinner late. Dinner late means sleep late. And waking up early next morning means not enough sleep. And not enough sleep + the next horrible day contribute to mental health problem! Ta da! And now you've got an mental health patient here!
I need a long long long long long ...... vacation!
