Imaginarse (Oneshot stories)

Safe place

TW MENTION OF DEPRESSION, ANXIETY AND MENTAL DISORDER ❗️❗️

For you to find your safe place you have to be lost. But I wasn't lost, I was really just unable to find it.

Irene's point of view
"Honey, she's been like this since she was 14! And you're still thinking something isn't wrong!? Hindi makausap ng ayos, hindi kumakain, hindi na pumapasok sa school, hindi mo lang ba aaminin sa sarili mo na may mali sa anak natin!?" Tanong ko sa asawa ko.

"She's just being stubborn! It's a phase! She'll grow out of it, kapag nakita nya ang mga pinsan nya na onti onti nang nag su-succeed at napag iiwanan na sya she'll click!" Sabi nito.

"No! Sa ayaw at sa gusto mo im taking her to a psychiatric, may mali sa anak natin!" Sabi ko.

The door swang open revealing our daughter who seemed to be amuse of what's happening in our bedroom.

"Are you fighting?" She asked why fidgeting her fingers looking so bothered and lost.

"No love, go to your room, you should sleep na" sabi ko and she immediately followed.

"You're not taking her" sabi ni Greggy.

"At bakit? Ano pa bang gusto mong mangyari? She's suffering Greg, hindi ko alam san nag simula, san nanggaling at paano nangyari" sabi ko habang umiiyak.

"I just don't want to see her suffering anymore! Awang awa na ako sakanya and yet I don't know what to do, please Greg, maawa ka sa anak natin" pagmamakaawa ko pa.

"Then b-bakit po kayo sumisigaw kanina" walang emosyong tanong ng anak ko, si Gail.

"Wala yun, alam mo naman kami ng daddy mo, laging nagbabangayan" sabi ko.

"Don't make me think stupid mommy, nag aaway kayo kasi tingin mo nababaliw na ako, and si daddy na iniisip na ok lang ako" sabi nya.

"Gail, hindi ko iniisip na nababaliw ka, there's something wrong with you anak" sabi ko.

"Something isn't wrong ok!? Im fine, daddy is right im fine! I do not want to go to a psychiatrist, I do not need any help im fine!" Sabi nito at tumalikod saakin.

She's like this all the time.

"Your daughter has Dissociation and dissociative disorders mrs. Araneta, it's where a person disconnects from their thoughts, feelings, memories and sense of identity, often when things get too much for them they seem like something or someone is unreal if things get to tough to absorb or handle for them, she's also has borderline depression and also anxiety, that adds up a lot on why is this happening to her right now, the answers on why she's being like this at the moment mrs. Araneta is she is detached to herself, what's her purpose, what she does in life and also forgot about who she is, not in a way that she doesn't know her name and what she wants and do not want, but again her purpose and who she really is" sabi saakin ng doctor.

"If she's being like this for four years already, this is a very serious case, hindi biro ang pinagdadaanan ng anak mo mrs. Araneta we need to treat her immediately, both mental and physical, we can start the treatment next monday, but for now I can give her anti depressant pills for her to take" sabi pa nito.

I threw the results at Greggy, I was so mad, bakit pa namin pinatagal to'
