october 10 is #WorldMentalHealthDay.
i would like to share a very unpleasant experience i had two months ago.
on august 11, 2021, someone accused me of charging at her.
-> sinugod ko raw siya.
she called the barangay.
she was having a fit on the street. she was describing how i approached her!
she was pointing to where i went!
i was disputing her statements. she was insistent. we spent so much time repeatedly contesting each other's story.
bottom line, footage from the security camera shows i did not go near her at all!
good thing there was a camera. what if there was none?
her explanation for her behavior that time:
- wrong timing
- she was stressed
- she was thinking about so many things.
i told her parents to bring her to a psychiatrist.
they just shrug it off.
there are things you can brush aside. this is not one of them. this is grave.
i know we should be understanding of such cases. but we should look at the big picture and also consider the risk to others.
she is a working adult. she deals with people not just on a personal but on a business level.
not all places have a camera.
stress, thinking about a lot of things and wrong timing are part of life.
it is not normal to suddenly burst out screaming and conjure up false accusations when stressed, overwhelmed with thoughts or caught at a bad time.
can someone guarantee that that will not happen again?
is it the first time it happened?
or has she done something like that before?
i don't know whether her parents are just in denial or they're already used to it. either way, they should consult a psychiatrist. it will be good for everyone.
