The Challenge of 2022 in my Life

 Sometimes life can get tough. 

The first week of 2022 is pasabog agad sa akin and very challenging that really test my abilities but I stayed focused and think a positive way. "Laban lang!" as I always said to myself.

 But life is really too harsh because while I'm facing the first life trial head-on to bring me the feeling of positivity and satisfaction, hinataw uli ako in the second week of January but now it's different. I was tested POSITIVE! Yawa gi-atay! The results indicate the presence of SARS CoV 2 RNA in my specimen after the test. I was shocked! 

I immediately isolate myself and do the preventive measures to protect myself and others from getting sick. I continue the self-care practices in order to take care of my mental health and increase my ability to cope with life's ongoing challenges. And right away, I informed also our company regarding my situation. I did my re-test or second sample as per the advice by the DOH for confirmation. And the result is still POSITIVE. Yawa!

To be honest, I thought it was easy to handle these two trials in life that 2022 brings me. But I have suffered emotional disturbance, stress, irritability, and fear! I am getting paranoid about staying in a quarantine. I am distressed and have uncontrollable thoughts that really affect my perception. These two consecutive strikes and bigger challenges in the year of 2022 really affect me.  My wife was affected by how I responded to what's happening to me because my anxiety attacks me again! The advantage is that she easily manages me patiently and gets the care I need.

Very struggling. The utmost concerns and supports from my family and my close friends here in UAE help me to STAY FOCUSED and to TRUST THE PROCESS and everything will be alright because GOD is ALWAYS IN CONTROL. Their words help me to overcome and control things gradually.

We must trust God with what we can't control. There is no need to be stressed out or worried. Laban lang Buraot! You are Spiddy with great power.
