I'm sorry to hear that U-Ming. I've also lost touch with you because I've been settling into Ireland for the past year.

In the world out there, life is tough. I'm not sure what you mean by mental health - I'm not sure what anyone means these days by the term.

I have been stressed, and sometimes in a state of complete anxiety and despair. i have never thought of that as a problem with my mental health. I just think that there are external issues that are so bad that one would be inhuman if one wasn't in despair about them! I can't see you suddenly thinking that an apple was an orange (which I what I call a mental health issue).

Where are you living now? Is there anyway you can get back into a western country?
