Chapter 317: Emotions.

Have you ever felt like you're not good enough? That you're not DOING enough?

I don't always feel that way. But I do now. So it's the perfect time to jot down everything on my mind now.

I'm the type of person who always feels like the world is against me when a lot of shit piles up on me. Sure, they can be solved - but when everything comes at you at once, you just don't really know what to do. My problems are probably minute compared to kids starving in Africa, or people stuck in war. In fact, my problems may not even be called a "problem" at all.

I am a very emotional person. I understand that a lot of things are not under my control, and that I shouldn't blame myself for it. But sometimes the burden is just too much to handle - not everyone can understand what you're going through. Even so, other people have demons to fight on their own. They're going through the same, if not worse issues than you. Who are you to even utter a word of complaint?

Sometimes I just feel like I'm not doing enough. Am I really doing my best? Have I allocated enough time for my family? Have I completed my work effectively? Have I treated my body well? Nowadays I don't even feel like going out to do anything. I've lost the fire to even have some fun. I just want to spend my rest days at home. Am I a normal human being?

When I compare myself to others, I'm not doing at all bad in terms of work. But it's tiring. It's so tiring. You think you've completed your work? Ha no. There's more. Sure, I've just got promoted, hence it's normal to have more responsibility and burden on me. Sometimes I feel like I'm not compensated enough for all the work I've been receiving? But then I tell myself that it's normal and everyone has gone through the same thing once upon a time. I don't know.

Not sure if I mentioned before, but I have PCOS. It means I have irregular periods, sometimes going up to 8 months of having no period at all. I've seen a doctor and he says it's something I'm born with. When he scanned my ovaries, we noticed that my right ovary is swollen with cysts. It's because the eggs are produced but not triggered to be released to the uterus, so it accumulated in the ovary. He prescribed me some pills to try to regulate my period. He also asked me to exercise more. And to basically live a healthier lifestyle.

This year had been the worst for my body. It probably relates to the stress and the kind of lifestyle I have. I'm trying my best. I'm trying. I really am. I'm not sure if I should even continue with audit anymore. I really do want to continue.

I'm feeling so terribly down now.

I just had the pills a few days ago so it's probably the hormones, I guess.

Chapter 290: Being a CAT-ACCA student

Hello. I just wanna get this off my chest for a bit. DISCLAIMER: This is merely my own understanding of the whole programme. Please don't flame me for wrong information lol. WHAT ARE CAT AND ACCA?  CAT stands for Certified Accounting Technician. Yeah, people laugh at the term "technician" but in layman terms it is just another name for Foundation in Accountancy. No idea why they used CAT though; probably because they don't want people to mess it up with Foundation in Arts? Anyways, one thing I dislike is when people ask me what I'm currently doing. When I say CAT, EVERYONE doesn't get it. So I just say "Oh I'm doing accounting." which sounds pretty weak but then it's easier than explaining the whole shit a gazillion times to different people and yet they STILL don't get it. :( ACCA stands for Association of Chartered Certified Accountants. Alright, so here's the thing. ACCA is a professional body (sort of like a club, really.

Chapter 319: Reflections

It's 12:44am and I have a lot on my mind. I feel like I haven't been able to give my 100% since the beginning of the year. I'm not entirely sure why but I guess it was because it was fast approaching one of my goals in the firm which was to get promoted to Senior Associate and subsequently tendering afterwards. The plan in my head was solid - I start applying in June, just slightly 2 weeks before the official promotion announcement, I get a call from HR after a week or so, an official interview by the managers after 2 days, and in July I was good to go. Plans always deviate, don't they? In June I find myself still in the midst of peak; whoever said that June was the start of off peak is a liar. However I also found myself avoiding to update my resume; I think a part of me still wanted to stay. I believe it was the comfort zone calling - I have good bosses, my portfolio was okay (I am taking over a job meant for an Assistant Manager), I am familiar with everything that

Chapter 320: I've not been well recently

 Not sure how to begin this post. My heart is beating really fast right now and I need to vent my feelings somewhere. I haven't been in a good mental state for a while now. I am suffering. I have been trying my best to see the good in everything and it has been exhausting. I guess I'd been dismissing my negative feelings because I feel like I should be grateful and appreciative for everything I have right now - which I am, don't get me wrong.  I'm having a difficult time relaxing properly recently. Even when I'm just chilling and watching Netflix, a sense of uneasiness just comes creeping on me; and it stays with me. I can't find anything that makes me happy anymore. I just feel so restless and on most days I feel like I've lost my sense of identity.  All the things that once make me happy have lost their ability to do so. I feel like a lifeless robot each day, just surviving and not living. Achievements aren't able to make me feel anything too. In fact
