A Day of a 'Daily Dose of Sunshine'
Spoiler
When I saw this drama was going to air, I anticipated it so much because it seems like slice of life to me and totally something I would enjoy watching. Honestly it was. It is a great watch and just something that heals the soul, spreading awareness on the mental health. You can see what goes round and round the mind of patients suffering from different mental illness, their challenges and how they heal. Mainly, this drama revolves around a psychiatric nurse who is really kind-hearted and loves to deal with her patient empathetically and kind-heartedly too but even she herself suddenly falls into an awful depressive state after the loss of her most loved patient. This in fact shines lights on the challenges doctors and nurses face in relation to the life of their patients and their life in general.
Here are some of the words from the drama that I find healing and that I hope can heal your soul too.
Please don't shoulder the blame for others mistakes. I hope you can love yourself a little more. What we probably need right now is the courage to be disliked. Yet, our need to be loved, and our need for others approval make us take a knife to our very souls to sculpt an idealized version of ourselves. And that is why we are always unhappy and in pain.
Social anxiety disorder makes people feel as if strangers are watching them closely and they're afraid others might talk behind their backs. It makes people difficult to maintain a social life. More than anything, they dread others badmouthing or judging them. You can't help but wonder how it feels. Anxiety feels like you're trapped in a see- through cage. It is nerve-racking, suffocating and embarrassing. Patients with social anxiety don't know that they have it or don't seek help. They tend to write it off as them being shy or introverted by nature. Moms used to send kids like that off to speech and acting lessons to fix their personalities.
Try keeping a compliment diary. It’s about complimenting yourself, even on the most trivial matters. Write as many as you like whenever they come to mind. Compliment yourself for complimenting yourself. I learned that complimenting yourself is more rewarding than receiving compliments from others.
Don't push yourself so hard. You will suffer. Even after you've given your kids everything, you'll only beat yourself up, over the things you've missed and blame yourself for everything. The guilt will eat you up. You wouldn't even realize that you're wilting away. Your life will be covered in yellow lights but you wouldn't even notice that life is telling you to slow down. You’ll end up turning a blind eye to your own happiness, for your child's happiness. But how would you make anyone else happy, if you're not happy yourself.
Battling Panic Disorder can be lonely. People around them aren't aware. Only the patients feels it. So many patients try to overcome it on their own, hanging on and soldiering through countless episodes. For sudden panic attacks, Alprazolam or Indenol is prescribed but you need to bring them to the hospital for right diagnosis.
If you're concerned about how others feel, think about yourself. Have you ever made yourself happy? Why do you always put your grief aside and put your friend's needs first? Why do you neglect your own well-being? The only person who needs saving is you. You need to be happy. Try adopting a more selfish-lifestyle. Stop caring about whether your actions would offend others and just do whatever you feel like doing. If you feel good and feel a bit of catharsis, then it's a good sign.
I'm not all right but people keep asking if I'm all right. I've never been all right, not one moment. I haven't been okay, not for a second. I Time doesn't solve anything. Everyone has gone back to life but I'm still stuck in the same spot.
Don't push yourself so hard. You will suffer. Even after you've given your kids everything, you'll only beat yourself up, over the things you've missed and blame yourself for everything.

Be a DAILY DOSE OF SUNSHINE to yourself first and then to those around you.
