So, I landed on the psychiatric ward......

What the heck had happened? Not wanting to tussle with my new medications, I decided not to recall the pre-hospitalization. If not, Dr. Rimmed Egghead, or the quarterly bald psychiatrist who saw me wouldn’t be happy. He would look like a dented ostrich egg, you know. Suffice to say I was at the lowest low of my Clinical Depression. On 22 June 07, I broke down and hence touched down on the Planet of the Nuts ‒ again.

That was psychiatric ward of Selayang Hospital, Selangor, outskirts of Kuala Lumpur. No nut case, no peanuts served there, but another psychiatrist with the pot belly of Nutty Professor. Followed by the three other Medical Officers, they were the psychiatric ward squad of Selayang Hospital.

I had only one regret. I had forgotten to ask my brother to take pictures with his hand phone when I was wearing the wasabi-green hospital uniform. I felt the green color of it also painted on my face. I looked greenish pale and grayish haggard. Imagine. I was with the excitement of an 18 years old but looked 10 years older than my real age, 37. (Do that Gwen Stephanie sultry moves, the ala Madonna hungry eyelash fluttering!)

There was something that I did not quite understand. Is the mental health standard in Malaysia still remained in the Third World? I was given 300 mg of Seroquel at different doses per day, and injection of Fluanxol per month. I was diagnosed with Clinical Depression, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) and Eating Disorder (ED). So, why the heck that I was given and injected with antipsychotic, which were meant for Schizophrenia? Or OCD not in the hospital vocabulary? Strange.

No wonder. The strong doses worked in the beginning. My deep, excruciatingly painful Depression was swept away. I was constantly feeling lifted, high on my tip toes. Too bad, this isn't the happy ending that I died for. The awful side effects from Seroquel and Fluanxol such as severe drowsiness and weakness, suffocation, loss of coordination and focusing, and muscle stiffness only manifested after 3 weeks.

Feeling great in the hospital, I became chatty like a crow and did my stiffed-tendon creaky dancing in front of the TV whenever there was a MTV.

And very much to my delight, a young Medical Assistant (MA) named Mohd. N., aged 25, followed me everywhere I went! (Not bad for a 37 years old, eh?). We talked like , played like , watching TV together like till he was scolded by the nurses!

Well, he liked me, so? Anything wrong for a MA to spend time with a patient after finishing all his paperwork? And he complimented that I looked like the dead Mongolian model Altantuya Shaariibuu! (…Whut?!).

Next. I finally discharged on 9 July 07. Nothing went well the rest of the month. What a great mess. My medicines had to be rearranged and a new medication, Zoloft added in, after I was struck by the deadly side effects. I only feel better TODAY. I’m hoping for brighter days ahead.

Ah Looi....long time no see.... for someone on medication, you write very very well.....which led me to think either the medication helped in your blogging or if without it, you could do even GREATER.

So....you are one heck of a lady........ayoh...here is a kiss.. 'swhiiit'

五百里滇池,奔来眼底,披襟岸帻,喜茫茫空阔无边。看东骧神骏,西
翥灵仪,北走蜿蜒,南翔缟素。高人韵士,何妨选手登临。趁蟹屿螺洲,梳
裹就风鬟雾鬓。更苹天苇地,点缀些翠羽丹霞。莫孤负四围香稻,万顷晴沙,
九夏芙蓉,三春杨柳
  数千年往事,注到心头,把酒凌虚,叹滚滚英雄谁在壈想汉习楼船,唐
标铁柱,宋挥玉斧,元跨革囊。伟烈丰功,费尽移山心力。尽珠帘画栋,卷
不及暮雨朝云。便断碣残碑,都付与苍烟落照。只赢得几杵疏钟,半江渔火,
两行秋雁,一枕清霜

Long time no see 乜都會變
鬥快拆鬥快起樓 花園升上天
灰灰的天小心空氣驟變
你我有冇變 各位即刻去片

嘩個世界變到變到冇唱片店
嘩個世界爆炸爆炸冧晒港產片
嘩個世界會唱會跳相當罕見
來吧讓軟硬軟硬捍衞地球 Long time no see

*來吧變身我變 全場人嚟大嗌聲 好久不見
時代快過火箭 有兩個老人撞見 約你去廣播道見
你想見 我想見 見咗會點 你都變我都變*

Long time no see 終於再見
你有冇再咁天真揸筆寫信件 想想當天到今天再遇見
我氹你氹我笑聲走咗去邊 有冇見過有對愛侶永冇收線
有冇見過有個派對永遠冇終點 有冇見過有對拍檔一起廿年
來吧讓軟硬軟硬捍衛地球 Long time no see

斟茶灌酒 鱼翅朗口 最紧要大富豪

翻版正歌斗抄得快 系创作既就徙晒
填得好又得个桔 乱甘填反而仲得
Remix乜乜物物乱甘dub 都唔知似乜

健康形象好 巨食烟扮环保 要夹口形夹唔到
最怕唱mmo 要发誓唔结婚 最好未失身
究竟D大红人 系假定系真

白金升降lift 要搞搞red hot hit
想罗金铜银大奖 要林既样 去出本写真集
要笑到哈哈哈 直逼白金数乱报
销量好高真系高 靠煲

你红当系宝 唔红变杂草
封面海报 知名度 尽地一铺
所有大路小路 歌照唱 戏照做
究竟进步定退步 总之好过无

卖力地为你唱只迷人情歌
慢慢地步入你的星座
故事情节总会坎坷
唯独有你靠在我身旁
尽力地为你抹去眼角泪光
尽力地避及猛风海浪
凡俗世间太彷徨
无奈青春不够耐看
我深怕我会连累你
让你翻山倒海般痛悲
自问已经筋歇力疲
没有力气歇斯低你
我奋力追 追到没法追
追到没法分清我是谁
不止爱一人 感到疲累
翻天的雨水 能令你我都粉粹
我继续追 伤痛亦要追
紧接下去想不想倒退
不管你的人 被谁占据
都请你原谅我 始终带不到
墨尔本的悲翠
尽力地为你抹去眼角泪光
尽力地避及猛风海浪
凡俗世间太彷徨
唯独青春不够耐看
我深怕我会连累你
让你翻山倒海般痛悲
自问已经筋歇力疲
没有力气歇斯低你
我奋力追 追到没法追
追到没法分清我是谁
不止爱一人 感到疲累
翻天的雨水 能令你我都粉粹
我继续追 伤痛亦要追
紧接下去想不想倒退
不管你的人 被谁占据
始终爱不起 雾雨火的差距
我继续追 伤痛亦要追
紧接下去想不想倒退
不管你的人 被谁占据
都请你原谅我 始终带不到
墨尔本的悲翠

I want to really commend you on be so very open and honest about your personal situation. I feel very sorry for you and I know the kind of suffering you have endured. I too have suffered from severe depression at various times in my life and at least you are very open and honest about it. I am going to pray for you because that is all that I can do from so far away. I pray that this new year will bring joy, blessings and peace of mind to you. You deserve to be happy.

I am an addictionologist and I am familiar with the medications that they have given you. Sometimes they cross over medications because some work for other ailments but sometimes the doctors really don't prescribe the correct medications because it can be a hit or miss sort of thing.

I am wishing you well and perhaps your experience will greatly benefit others.

Best wishes

HUGS!!!
