Here is another incredible story about Insomnia, if you guys relate to this tune in to hear about Zarina's experiences:

Brief summary (in english and chinese):

- Zarina was diagnosed with depression and general anxiety disorder three years ago

- During insomniac behavior, she detailed uncontrollable racing thoughts and various types of hallucinations

- This affected her focus and performance during the day

- She was unable to keep up with expectations from her teachers

- As traditionalists, her parents didn’t necessarily believe in mental health, which created a barrier between them and Zarina herself.

- She never stopped fighting through this disorder. She continued to find ways to overcome it by watching ASMR, her interest in reading, listening to music

Ultimately, Zarina continues on her journey of embracing her Insomnia and much more. Her advice for you guys who might have Insomnia is the importance of openly communicating with those whom you trust, and to stand up for yourself when misunderstood. Thank you so much again, Zarina for sharing your story, and we are proud of everything you’ve been through and overcome.

呢度有另一個關於失眠嘅難以置信嘅故事，如果你哋同呢首歌有關係，想聽下 Zarina 嘅經歷：

簡單總結（中英文）：

- Zarina 三年前被診斷出患有抑鬱症同一般焦慮症

- 喺失眠行為期間，佢詳細講述咗無法控制嘅賽車思想同各種幻覺

- 呢個影響咗佢喺日頭嘅專注力同表現

- 佢跟唔上老師嘅期望

- 作為傳統主義者，佢嘅父母未必相信心理健康，呢個就係佢哋同扎里娜本人之間嘅障礙。

- 佢從來都冇停止過透過呢個疾病去戰鬥。佢繼續搵方法去克服佢，就係睇 ASMR ，佢對閱讀嘅興趣，聽音樂

最終，扎里娜繼續佢嘅旅程，擁抱佢嘅失眠症同埋其他好多嘢。佢對你哋可能有失眠症嘅人嘅建議係，要公開同你信任嘅人溝通，同埋喺被誤會嘅時候要為自己挺身而出。再次多謝你， Zarina 分享你嘅故事，我哋為你所經歷同克服嘅一切感到自豪。
