A pledge



It is extremely disheartening learning about Sushant Singh Rajput's suicide. It came as a complete shock to us all.
He not only left the world, but left something behind for each of us - a thought to ponder upon the mental health awareness in the nation.

Money and fame doesn't mean the person is leading a happy peaceful life.

A person undergoing a psycho therapy is automatically considered as a "crazy person". This brings shame to the person suffering. Do we even realize that there must be number of people who are scared to seek help just because they are afraid of being judged by the "sane people". We are all at fault. We as a society are responsible for making these people suffer more. The mentality needs to change.

Depression, anxiety, panic attacks, etc are NOT to be taken lightly. "Sleep over it. You'll feel fine in the morning" - is NOT the solution for it.

Age, gender, profession, status, fame are NOT the parameters to judge if a person is allowed to be "crazy" or "sane".

Even things happening on daily basis which we ignore like Friends roasting friend, parents imposing on their kids, the rat race to prove we are better than others may lead to frustration, depression, anxiety, inferiority complex.

These are serious issues that needs to be brought to light.

For anyone who is suffering ,please please please seek for help. There is nothing to be ashamed of it. Go to your near and dear ones , we promise to give a helping hand. We promise we won't be ignorant. If you need professional help,  please seek it. We promise we won't judge.

Mental health awareness is the need of the hour, it shouldn't be considered a taboo anymore. It's high time we take steps for it.

Let us all pledge to be there for the ones who need us and for once be good listeners.

    What you say is right. One shouldn't be ashamed of talking about the stress / mental pressure to the caring person.

    Nicely put. Compitition, tension ,expectations and refusal of talent and merit could be reasons of depression.

Skybound reflections

                                                  I am sitting in my life-size window, holding a cup of coffee in my hands and gazing at the beautiful sky. The two blossom trees across the road seem to smile through their pink flowers. Spring is here. As the setting sun paints the sky with hues of pink and orange, the fluffy clouds glow in the rays of the setting sun. I can't help but think what an amazing artist the universe is. Every day it creates a masterpiece on its vast canvas - the sky. A new day brings with it a new masterpiece, and my mind races with a million questions. Could cloudy sunsets be the universe's way of concealing its art, perhaps out of anxiety on a particular evening? What if the universe is trying to teach us something? Maybe sunsets are the universe's way of telling us that we are capable of creating masterpieces. That every masterpiece w...

The fight with your inner self

Photo courtesy : https://google.com There are times when you don't feel like yourself anymore.The world around you begins to fall apart, you no longer feel like a part of anything, rather anyone!Even sharing it with your closed ones does not feel right anymore, it's like you are fading away!Your feelings don't make sense to you anymore!It's like one lil' bad thing n *poof* You are dragged into every other sad memory, every other feeling you wish to forget.All you wanna do is runaway.But perhaps there's no other way but fighting yourself back to the top.There's a ray of hope, a slightest opportunity of freedom that you search for and yeah that's the ray that makes you survive just one more day hoping that everything will get fine! - AS.
