Mental Health during MCO

Mental Health during MCO

     With the pandemic, COVID-19, increasing worldwide in many countries, citizens are forced to
stay home for months, regardless whether they are students, white collars, or workers. Some are even
unemployed during this period as the companies prefer to minimize their costs. Students, ranging from primary schoolers to university students were also forced to have their education online instead of physical classes.

     It is reported by many reliable sources that individuals who are suffering with mental issues are resulting to suicide during this MCO lockdown. Dealing with mental issues is difficult and challenging, especially trying to think positively all the time. It’s completely okay to break down once in a while for having to go through all the hardships in life but always keep yourself reminded that whatever happens, it happens for a reason. Also, remember that coming back stronger each time, you'll be able to solve your problems eventually.

     One could deal with these mental issues by keeping oneself busy. Start off by doing things that
you like, for example, cooking, painting, or even reading some of your favorite novels. Doing
things that you like could help to tick off one of the tasks that you have been longing to do due
to the busy schedules on normal days. It is certain that an individual would have more than one
liking, therefore, it will help to pass time at home.

     This current MCO lockdown also allows many families to bond and reunite. Spending time with
family members helps one to understand and learn more about one another, which could lead to
better communication and harmony. Being close with family members is an advantage as one
could express their feelings and emotions, whereby having people who love you spend their
time around you, would be the absolute feeling and comfort.

     Not only that, one could spend their time in the kitchen baking cookies or cupcakes with family
members. Additionally, you could start up a small business with reasonable prices to get a side income during this pandemic. On the other hand, one would be able to have fun times which creates new memories; the sidetracks during the process of baking the cookies and cupcakes could be cherished.

     Forget not, there are hotlines to certified organizations who are able to help with mental issues,
such as Befrienders (03-79568145). Keep in mind that you are always loved by the people
around you, and do not jump to conclusions during hard times, for it will result in bad decision
making and regret. Spread positivity to the people around you and help those in need during this period of time, as we are all struggling together. With a little help of hand and positivity, there will sure be light at the end of all this.

A Dark Hallway

InkSpill Competition - Writer of the Month!  [Goodness] In the dark hallway, I see a light. A light so bright, I cannot shy away. I see hope, I see promises. Up the slope, I climb, I am astonished. Astonished by the goodness, Admonished was the ID. In a game of chess, Two winners are forbidden. Who should win in this hallway? The ID or the Superego? Should your conscience be prey? Kill your inner Draco. [Temptation] To be feared or loved? To be supreme or to rust? Even an angel was shoved, It’s now the power that I lust. In this hallway I see passion, Fires of ambition and refashion. Inn for the Machiavellis, Choirs of glory awaiting me. Respect is what I demand, Power is what I crave. I give thee to command, Thy obedience is what I enslave. [Consciousness] In this dark hallway, My brain is beating. Who should come out to play? I don’t want them to compete. To embody Heyoka or Machiavelli? That is my constant battle. Written By: Hannah Ee (StudentInk 🥺🤍)

The Year I Peaked

My Prime Year I was scrolling my Facebook feed when this showed up in my Facebook Memories. This particular picture taken from Mass Comm Society’s official Facebook page from 2018 from their album titled “Hollywood Night: Trip Down The Memory Lane.” If memory serves me correct, this was the second Member’s Gathering by MCS that year, and the one thing that attracted me to this picture was my long hair tied up in a ponytail. My hair was also thick, which is a far cry from my thinning hairline today. Seeing me in this form today instantly triggered something within my brain and made me come to the realisation that 2018 was the year where I was in my prime – something I definitely have taken for granted, or that I have completely forgotten considering what I ended up going through between then and now. I wasn’t a wealthy man, but I had pretty much everything a teenager could have fantasized – long hair, loud car, lots and lots of good times. I prioritised fun above all else. A Rebel W...

Our Origin

Have you ever wondered? About what, you may ask? About the language we speak? Isn't it strange that everyone around the world, ourselves included, simply put our trust into the people who taught us the language that we speak, write and even think in? When we were growing up, we blindly believed the information that others may have told us. And when we questioned them, some valid reasons were provided but most often, we were told that we'd understand when we grew older. But, for some unknown reasons, I still question many things in life, simpler ones such as colors, for instance. Why is blue called blue? And green called green? Why is anything named and called the way it is? Thus, in my opinion, our culture has shaped humankind into what we are now. These information had its origins and were passed down for generations till it reached us today. It's very easy to forget our roots when we're so caught up with achieving and completing our daily tasks. It...
