Profile

She’s supposedly in college by now, but as of now she’s going to take grade 11
2nd Semester in HUMSS. She dropped two times due she is starting to have symptoms.
She’s good at arts and she’s very smart too. She’s good at computer games she is very
addicted to it because every time she wants to go out with her friends her mom rejects
it.

Background

Ever since chocolate was a child she felt that she’s an orphan because of
the way her mom treats her. She was always being scold, being compared to her cousins
and many more. At the age of 15 her mom told her the truth the she really is adopted.
She didn’t know what to feel at that time but she’s thankful to her cousins and Aunts who
is always there to her and treated her as their own. As time goes by her mom didn’t
change she continuously scold her, hurt her physically, embarrassed her in public and
such of things. It started again for her to doubt if her mom really treats her as her child or
yaya. Chocolate started to have anxiety, insomnia, every time she wants to talk she is
not confident anymore, and depression. Then after many sleepless nights she
experienced hallucinating, hearing somethings, having nightmares, always shaking,
forgetting things and many more. But fortunately to her she’s living with her aunt that time
because her mom kicked her out. When her aunt, uncle and cousin noticed her actions
chocolates cousin suggested to her mom to let chocolate visit a psychiatrist but first they
have to talk to chocolate about that matter and luckily she approved right away and
was happy. During the check up Dr. Tibayan said that he cant grasp a thing about what’s
happening to her, he said that either schizophrenia because of the way she’s saying is
out of the blue that’s why he gave some medicines then said to come back after a week.
During that week there was a progressed at least she stopped hallucinating, she’s not
crying and such. And now she is living with her mom and its been 3 months now, she is
continuing her medications. Supposedly she is going to continue her study but they
decided that after her medications she’ll go back to school.

open what you really feel, take good care of herself, sleep more often. Stop being
addicted to computer games bond more with your friends or family’s.
