Yay! I'm updating again..... (i'm surprised too :p ) probably coz i'm feeling quite perky now since i managed to do my computer test n pass it ..coz i was kinda busy last night..had a flatmates VERY "belated" birthday --- as in like 3 mths late? hehe... and man it was so funny.. like she kept saying "I'm confused!" coz some of her friends sneaked into our flat n all n were trying to play a little trick on her. Ahh.. i have some pics too..hmmm.. where should i put them?
Hehe... anyway i think i'm pretty exhausted.. but happily exhausted :p.. hehe... coz i had to study for the test last night.. n ended sleeping real late..coz i realised at like 12am or sthg that i hadn't finished studying!!.. i tend to get distracted easily -_- hai hai... such a bad habit...
To top it up, today was a pretty long n boring day too. For one things its 9am-4pm. ... n the computer test is at 4.15pm... We had a patient talk to us about suicide which i found really really touching. Its amazing how common suicide is in NZ apparently like youth suicide is among the highest in the world!!! Why that is so is not really known.. but it has been attributed to like social isolation(NZ is quite rural :p), lack of support, the lattitude? ( winter blues ~~) n i wonder if maybe just sheer boredom from a lack of nothing better to do .. hehe... And one very interesting point was that sometimes people don't really wanna die.. its just that at that point in time they just lost all reasonable thought. So I guess this suggests like depression or some psychiatric disorder. And its just the times when people just briefly get to drowned in their grief n depression that they don't care about anything else -- family, consequences etc. And also men have higher rates of "successful" suicides then women... n they are also incidents of parasuicide where the person doesn't really wanna die but just wants to attract attention or ask for help... like swallowing 30 paracetamol n then calling someone up...Bizarre in a way though i think..coz its a pretty high risk way to get attention n wat if something backfires? hmmmm.. But i guess it was very enlightening n though i don't really like the idea i guess sometimes people just aren't in a proper state of mind when they do it.. so its unlikely that a proper rational person would do it. I guess the human mind is just tooo complicated :p
