Lets talk about Problems.

   We are living in such a world where no one has time for others. Sometimes we don't even have time for ourselves. We are busy with work, study, responsibilities, duties, and all the other things except our personal care. If we are physically ill we treat ourselves; we take care but if we are mentally suffering we try to ignore it. Not just me or a few others, most of the people in our society hide or ignore their mental suffering. When I started having trouble, I couldn't figure out what was going on. It all started from simple sleep problems like insomnia. I had issues with sleeping for quite a while. There were other problems as well but I never considered them as a problem. After, I suffered a lot and could handle my insomnia, IBS, and all other emotional feelings. I went to the doctor but couldn't go to a psychiatrist. It was kind of a shame to go to a psych doctor. However, my physician referred me to a psychiatrist and I went. It was not as bad as I thought. That visit to the doctor gave me a new perspective on mental health.

  I am not an introverted person but more like enjoying my own company and a small group of friends. My friends, family, and also I couldn't tell I was going through depression. It was hard to accept. We all go through a phase where we want to believe one thing and reality is something else. It was that moment for me. But medication, support, and self-awareness helped me a lot. It is hard to talk about mental problems even with our closest friend but we should do it. All of us go through tough times. It's hard and different for every human. Maybe the other person can never understand what you are thinking or feeling, but it gives relief to share things. We all share our good news with others but rarely share the bad ones. Also, the listener wants to hear the good news but this is life. We cannot have the good ones only. If you are going through something, let's talk about that. Maybe tell your friends when you are sad or feeling different. They may cheer you or just try to do something and that really matters. It's been more than a year I am stale and out of medications but I am so grateful to my family and friends that they helped me through it. But it all starts from sharing. No one will know until you talk. So let's try to talk.

  I am not giving any advice or treatment, it is just my experience that helped me. Being with someone who knows you is the best thing to do for mental stability. Every once in a while you should make time for yourself to do whatever you want. Sometimes you should stop thinking about others and make yourself happy. We can never make anyone happy until we are happy. Let's look after ourselves first. You should be your first priority. This may should selfish but I think this works perfectly to have a nice life. Share love, laughter, care, sadness everything, and be happy.
