All of us has been stuck in that limbo where we just can’t go on at some point or the other. We either just spiral our way through and poison our thoughts or else we try things that can make us feel better.
Sometimes these things can also be trying to reach out to a friend, family member or seeking therapy. Talking about our mental health through whatever medium possible is taboo in a country like ours, we’re supposedly the generation who is the most ‘existential’. But maybe it’s rather the outspoken nature of this age that has made us face those questions which are in fact, important for our survival.
The idea of sharing your problems with someone else in the digital age is scary, maybe they’ll judge you, hurt you or even tell other people and make a mockery out of you. We simply do not know. But the good side of having these conversations about how you’re feeling, verbalizing it, actually helps to make sense of what is happening, what you’re feeling and you might just get a more rationalized and sensible point of view from others than the hazy mess of feelings you might be experiencing.
That being said, it's okay to ask for help, not for the sake of just being open to others but for your own self. Everybody faces struggles but it’s the help that we get from each other that can soften the blow. If you or anybody else in your circle feel like none of your friends or relatives can help, please reach out for therapy from a certified psychologist/psychiatrist.
