[TRIGGER WARNING: mental health]

When YG said he wanted to know the things that he must say to people like him who experienced such things, I REALLY ADORED MORE HIM FOR THAT
I also experienced many episodes just like him but only in a different timeline, scenarios, circumstances
Eversince I was a kid, I've always been silent with my mental health until I got into college and some things were unfavorable. So I sincerely asked if I could go to a doctor. I was really not myself, I felt like I was a different person. +
You wanna know what the doctor told me?
He said in our local language, "Do you work already? Do you have a family to feed? Are you all grown up? Then you shouldn't feel that way." Then he said a lot of things that a typical Asian parent would say.
"Do not worry anymore."+
"Don't do this. Don't be enslaved by your thoughts. Don't feel less of what other people will tell you. Like so what?"

At that time, I was so depressed because I had to transfer schools due to excess failed units. I had to transfer because I failed due to my mental health+
I couldn't handle it anymore. BUT THE DOCTOR SAID WHAT? YES. A doctor who's in the medical field, who should be more aware, said that infront of my face, my mother was beside me that time.
AM I NOT ALLOWED TO FEEL SUCH THINGS? I didn't want to feel this. I did 't ask for this. +
In the back of my mind, I was screaming, "Please stop. I just wanna go home."
He gave me pills so I could sleep.
But everything got worse.
After that, I didn't go back to that doctor. I didn't bother to go to other doctors.

I faced my own darkness by myself
Until now, sometimes there are triggers. But I became more aware of it because of reading psychology and stuff.
I had to deal this on my own and somehow it became a source of my pain yet strength on my daily life.
When it comes to my outlet of feelings, I really do my best to at least listen to other people's stories. Be a helping hand. Be a light if I could.
That's my way of thinking eversince I was a kid until now, and I will still be like this in the future. With my family and kids+
So what's my point here?
YG, someone who may seem to be an ordinary person, who have always been a great comfort to others, who's always careful on what he will say to a person who have such experiences, who have made music as a remedy for other people, has now decided to become a psychologist himself+
When he said he wanted to know the things he will say, I REALLY FELT THAT.
Because of what I've experienced, TAKE NOTE, NOT ALL DOCTORS HAVE THE SAME COMPASSION AND EMPATHY.
I'm in the medical field and I've seen worse when I got to work in the hospital. +
What more for cases like this?

YG has that kind of rare compassion towards other people. He acknowledges other people's feelings because he experienced such things. He knows how hard it is. He cares for one's mind.
He wanted to know how to handle such cases. He wanted to know the right things to say that is medically based yet with emotional compassion not like any other people who may not seem to see the negative outcomes.
He didn't realize that their music already comforts people at first
But now he realized that. And now he wanted to study psychology, the brain, how things in our minds work.

Another reason to love him more. Another reason why we have to cherish a great person like him.
So please, to those who are puzzled, respect and appreciate him for thatt
There are only a few people in this world like him, so please appreciate him more.
He's a beautiful human being inside and out.+
THIS IS NOT FOR CLOUT. This is a very sensitive topic. It gave me scars. I know a lot of people experience this but they cannot speak up. That's why I wanted to share my thoughts based on my experience.
I hope we may all find our inner peace and genuine happiness
