The Jaw-Dropping Comeback Story You Need to Read to Believe!

Another Sunday is here. Sunday, Week 27.

Life has never been the same since I fell ill and was hospitalised. It’s like my sleep clock did a reset. I usually sleep more than 9 hours daily, sometimes as high as 15–16 hours a day. Now, I am sleeping 6–8 hours. That’s a big change and more changes are coming. I’m totally loving it.

My sickness has completely transformed me from the very core of my being. From the 9th to the 13th of June, during my high fever, I felt weak and had no energy to do anything. I’ve never felt this weak ever in my life. At the time, all I could do was sleep and dream. I tried to fight to get myself to work. But I could only muster so much energy to get things done.

This came in the wake of a major depression that happened after seeing my friend. When he visited, he mentioned all my failures and asked me to return to the workforce to earn money. He said I should be earning RM18,000 to RM19,000 ($3800 — $4000 US dollars) a month if I wanted a family of my own, and I’m not there. Looking at my failures, I crashed to the ground. I was in bad shape. I never thought I’d be able to pick myself up again.
