Questions 26 – 31 are based on the following passage.

“Don‟t lose yourself,” the old, bedridden man said. I was five at the time, and my family was

visiting him. I can‟t remember his name or how we knew him. But two decades later, his words

haunted me as I struggled to come to terms with my life. For years, I had suffered from depression.

The first incident I can remember happened when I was 14. As I walked home one day, I was

overcome with the urge to sit in a corner and weep. I barely managed to reach our flat before

bursting into tears. These overwhelming, unexplained feelings frightened me.

By the time I was 16, these outbursts were happening about once a month. Most of the time I lived

my life normally, but then my mind seemed to take a life of its own. Initially they happened for no

reason, but now everything became a reason – a frown from a teacher, first prize for an essay, a

long queue at a canteen stall. It didn‟t matter whether the incidents were happy, sad or indifferent,

all would be twisted by my mind into something horrible.

One incident I recall vividly was a call from a friend. After we chatted for a while, she said she had

to go because her mum was calling her. I spent the next two days agonising over whether she had

hung up because she hated me. A little voice in my mind kept telling me how worthless, hopeless

and stupid I was. I kept this a secret because I was scared and perplexed. I remember once trying to

explain to my friend Alice, what was happening to me but I couldn‟t find the right words to express

myself and eventually gave up.

Not that my friends were completely unaware of my problems. More than once they tried to talk to

me about my difficult home life. My father subjected my two younger sisters and me to terrible

verbal abuse and my mother did little to support us. I now realise my family problems were a major

factor in my depression, but at the time I denied anything was wrong.

When I was 17, I concluded that the only way to stop my suffering was simply not to feel anything.

This wasn‟t difficult because I was overwhelmed with my studies, two part-time jobs and looking

after my sisters. I had no time to think, much less feel. At first the numbness was a huge relief from

the mood swings, but it wasn‟t long before I realised that there was a vast emptiness in my heart. I

could feel no emotions. It got to a point where I would cut myself just to feel something.

I had become afraid of being by myself. I felt as if I was being chased by a black hole that would

swallow me whole. Finally, when I was 25, I decided that I had to end my life. Fortunately, I never

got the chance. That night, I bumped into my 16-year-old sister Isabella outside my room. Her eyes

were swollen and she was sobbing. “I don‟t know why. I can‟t make the crying go away,” she said.

I was horrified. I knew that depression could be hereditary. This incident jolted me to my senses.

The desire to help Isabella prompted me to help myself.

I called my best friend Kath. I told her everything and on her insistence I visited a Family Service

Centre and arranged to start counselling. I also joined a support group and started reading self-help

books. More important, I made a decision to get out of depression. I forced myself to make new

friends. I also convinced Isabella to start counselling and made her come out with my friends and I

instead of being cooped up at home. Today, two years later, she is much better. She is taking a pre-

university course and has a circle of supportive friends.

Depression is neither a choice nor a bad mood you can snap out of. It is an illness with an

underlying cause. But no matter how much other people try to help, only the victims can help

themselves get better. My depressive bouts haven‟t disappeared, but they are less frequent and less

intense. It has not been easy to share my feelings, but it‟s getting easier all the time. And the best

part is, I have been able to help Isabella. I did lose myself, but I managed to find myself again.

(a) In stanza 1, what makes the woman attracted to the man?

.................................................................................................................................................

[1 mark]

L: COMPREHENSION

He had such quiet eyes

She did not realise

They were two pools of lies

Layered with thinnest ice

To her, those quiet eyes

Were breathing desolate sighs

Imploring her to be nice

And to render him paradise

If only she‟d been wise

And had listened to the advice

Never to compromise

With pleasure-seeking guys

She‟d be free from „the hows and whys‟

Now here‟s a bit of advice

Be sure that nice really means nice

Then you‟ll never be losing at dice

Though you may lose your heart once or twice
