Mental Health Day Note

Two years of clinical rotation in the hospital was one of the hardest times I've ever been through. I remember the day I had my first ER shift, my thoughts were never quite, I had some really bad scenarios running in my mind which makes me more nervous and questioning my decision to join the medical school at the first place.

After that, all I care about was to finish the rotation and get out from there as soon as I could. I almost quit but I thought the wait is worth the pain. It is true. I finished the rotations and I get my certificate as a Medical Doctor.

But it's not the end, I carried my anxiety away with me after the rotations ended. I was struggling to manage my worries about almost everything in my life. I was worried a lot which made me unable to enjoy the present. 

I was diagnosed with a generalized anxiety disorder by a psychiatrist. I got medicine to help me handle my anxiety but I didn't take it because I don't want to consume any medication, I need someone to listen to me and help me but not with meds. So I went to a psychologist.

My therapist asked me to do mindfulness, to release some tension in my body. My body was unintentionally set to a standby mode, which made me always tense. My neck, my jaw, my spine, and my leg were so tense. Mindfulness helps me to release the tension. It was a short session to start my day, 5 to 10 minutes sitting down and be present with my thoughts, my body, and my feelings.

Anxiety will not go away from me, it will be a part of me. All I do is accept it and live with it.

I am 25 years old this year and I'm still trying to figuring things out

Someone might never understand and it's not my job to convince them to understand. But I am still valid, my emotions are valid.

It is okay if no one understands if no one knows if no one accepts you or your feelings. You are valid and your emotions are. When it feels so hard to carry it alone, reach out. Someone will help you.

How to Conduct a Clinical Trial with Good Clinical Practice

Clinical trials are essential for developing new treatments and improving health outcomes for patients. However, conducting a clinical trial is not a simple task. It requires careful planning, execution, and reporting to ensure the quality and validity of the data and the safety and well-being of the participants. This is where Good Clinical Practice (GCP) comes in. GCP is an international ethical and scientific quality standard for designing, conducting, recording and reporting trials that involve the participation of human subjects 1 . GCP aims to provide a unified standard for the ICH regions (the European Union, Japan, the United States, Canada, Switzerland, Brazil, Australia and South Korea) to facilitate the mutual acceptance of clinical data by the regulatory authorities in these jurisdictions 2 . GCP is based on the principles of respect for human dignity, protection of human rights, and assurance of the welfare of the participants 2 . GCP also ensures that the data generated f...

Sorry to post this

Rasanya sudah cukup di tahun ini, menjatuhkan hati dengan sengaja dan belajar mencintai seseorang. Tapi aku merasa belum cukup dalam belajar melepaskan orang yang aku cintai, entah mengapa aku masih begitu peduli. Seakan-akan aku masih mencintai dia, tapi aku juga tidak tahu apakah aku benar-benar masih mencintai dia apa hanya suatu ilusi belaka.
