“I feel depressed, stressed and confused”
Trying to manage our family, place to stay, not enough time in a day to do everything all at once. - April 7, 2025

I am one of the Putra Heights fire victims. Feel depressed, stressed, confused. Unsure of what to feel.

Too busy currently and feeling there are too many things going on. I don't have time to manage everything all at once.

Feel extremely shameful and very bad, especially because I'm alive and well but feeling so much anger and rage about the current situation.

My family didn't have time to do our new MyKad yesterday as we have been going in and out of the house to safe any documents, furniture still intact after the fire.

Now we are fighting the rain with limited time going in and out of the house. It's very stressful.

Trying to manage our family, place to stay, not enough time in a day to do everything all at once.

Yesterday was the last day for us to get our KyKad and I feel bad and every day. I feel bad for the policemen, volunteers and everyone involved because of this tiring situation.

Sorry I can't smile at the officers as I am feeling lost and empty. Very sorry to everyone working and those volunteers that are trying to help us … I try to smile and be calm, but I have no feelings right now.

I'm just feeling very stressed right now. I sometimes feel angry at certain people, things and lash out all of a sudden.

I'm sorry, I can't hold all the feelings inside, I'm trying to be civilized, calm and relaxed.

I have no excuse to be angry since we are alive and well but it feels like a huge headache or a never ending fever.

It feels like we're continuously running out from inside a never-ending burning house. I'm ashamed of getting angry. I just want the nightmare to be over. I want to go home.
