Part 10

This is probably where one of the brightest periods of my life begins—a time when events started unfolding in a way that deeply influenced me and set me on a new path.

After the hospital, I felt a little better. I kept taking antidepressants and started seeing a psychologist. At the time, I had no idea that this woman would become one of the most important people in my journey. She didn’t just do her job—she genuinely wanted to help. There was depth in her words, empathy in her gaze, and real care in her approach.

When things became unbearable, I could text or call her even outside our sessions, and she always found the right words to pull me out of the darkness.
That support was invaluable.

I started reading, exploring, and diving into them fully. Some days, even the simplest practice felt impossible, but I had set a goal for myself—to find my way back. To the person I once was but had lost in the struggle with pain.

I didn’t even notice how three months passed. At some point, I realized that something within me had shifted. There were more bright thoughts in my mind, and along with them, a feeling that life still had so much beauty left for me to experience.

It was almost like a quiet euphoria.

I found a job—at that very store. It was still difficult to interact with people, but something inside me had changed. I started creating more, and to my surprise, my work resonated with people on social media.
That brought me a joy I had almost forgotten how to feel.
A sense of lightness, a glimpse of carefreeness—it was all slowly returning to me, step by step.

Of course, difficult moments still happened. Life wasn’t perfect, but now I experienced challenges differently—without letting them break me from within. With the support of my therapist and the growing sense that maybe the world wasn’t against me, but perhaps even on my side,
I was learning to cope and to make peace with my inner demons…
