Got to know a young man last Friday on the street. By the conversation he look ok to me. The only problem he have is his poor vision.
Saturday he called and visited me at home and I got to know that he suffer from depression. After talking for 1 hour, I hug him before I sent him to the bus stop.
Out of my concern met him for lunch on Sunday. He brought me to his house and shown me the medicine his is taking currently. And he review to me more of his problem : Depression, anxiety, panic attack and can't sleep at night.
Brought him to Sun Plaza for window shopping, but after a while can't felt he get stress because of the crowd and I have to brought him to a corner to cool him down and hold his hand to take to him.
Monday he suppose to report to work but because of the stress he face in the train he reach the work place and straight away return home. Received call from him in the evening and we chatted for 1 hour at Yishun Safra.
Tuesday evening received call from him get to know that the hotel called him and ask him go back to work in shorter hours. He sounds happy.
Wednesday evening called me again to inform me he go back to work.
Thursday after his work met at my place and we watching movie together. He look quite enjoy with his smiling face. But when we aboard a bus and the bus driver didn't greet him when he said thank you he told me he is not happy and I can see the change of his face expression.... wow his mood change so fast.
He off today and received a call from him at noon just to tell me he is doing fine.
I am a person treasure friendship and have compassion for people who need help.
I am not sure how am I able to give him more support as in spend time with him and encourage him. The most horrible part is when I did the research of the medicine he is taking now, the side effect can cause his life facing danger.
Last May one of my friend who suffer from diabetic, kidney problem went into coma during his operation and passed away one week after his ops.
The week before his ops we had lunch together and he look ok to me beside he facing some panic attack when I pushed him into Seiyu - Bugis. (He is too weak and have to sit on wheel chair when he go out.)
I got to know him from IRC and we met 6 years ago, he look healthy to me upon that time. But two months later he informed me his retina drop and he only have tunnel vision because of his diabetic. We have good time together doing shopping and eating even he can't really see well. But in the later stage of his life, I see him suffer most of the time until he is gone and our friendship end there.
This is life. Friends take care of your health all the time and treasure the people who around you. You won't know you will have chance to see them again.
