The Truth About My Struggles and the Illusion Around Me
I went to a psychiatrist in an emergency room in a hospital because I could not sleep. I was having a hard time. I needed help. But the doctor did not treat me with care. He treated me as if I was only a problem. He wrote in his report that I missed classes and blamed financial problems. But that was real. I did not make it up. Financial problems are real for many young people like me.
People say young people today have it easy because we have smartphones, internet, and education. But they forget the truth. We have debt, high costs, and mental pressure. Student loans make our lives harder, not easier. Social media controls how we think and feel. It makes us compare, perform, and spend more. The marketing around us is manipulative. They push us to want things we don’t need.
I tried to open up and connect with others. I shared my pain and tried to make true friends. But some people used my mental health against me. They said I only wanted sympathy. They used my story to look good online. That is not friendship. That is fake and cruel. Social media in Malaysia is full of people pretending to care, but in real life, they do not support people like me.
In Malaysia, even the government wants to look good. They help people from other countries, like Palestinians, and make content to show how kind they are. But what about us? What about poor and disabled people in their own country? I got a little support, just daily allowance. They said my student loan means they will not help with my tuition. That is not fair. That is not real care.
If I speak out, people say I am ungrateful. They say I should move to another country. But loving your country means wanting it to be better. It means caring for all people, not just for show. True patriotism is helping each other during good and bad times. Not punishing someone with huge fines because they missed rent for one month.
I am tired of being silenced. I speak because my story matters. I know many others feel the same. We need to stop pretending and start caring — truly and equally.
