Something other than CORONA is available for discussion and analysis today and we are all shocked and startled at sudden demise of SUSHANTSINGHRAJPUT... And most of us are still only wondering what could have been his internal state that he had to take such an extreme step...
Everyday there are many who end their lives and in most cases we seldom know the real reason and keep analyzing the death by merely counting that individuals external conditions ...and now everyone knows that it could be DEPRESSION.... AND THAT'S IT.
having said that merely acknowledging that Depression exists but not in me, not in my family members is a simple DENIAL.... every year we hear so many teens committing suicide but when I talk to parents about teen depression.. I get such an amazing COLD RESPONSE which gives me a message from parents that.. Yeah.. It might be true but not with my child... So do we know that DEPRESSION is as common as fever but there's a paracetamol available to pop up and get rid of fever and in worst case a physician and a day off can fix it but after an intense low phase we still don't understand that we are not suppose to IGNORE that and show up as a strong individual even if it has really shattered you from within.. The FEAR of being JUDGED is so scary that we put our complete mentalhealth at stake and continue with our routine as if nothing happened...
I am a mentalhealthpractioner but before that I only tag myself as a humanbeing and it was just recently in July 2019 I was in my worst Low phase and I decided to take help after failing to bring myself back on track and I didn't hesitate to ask for help fearing that HOW CAN A MENTAL HEALTH PRACTIONER experience a low phase... I am constantly aware of my mental state and I promptly took help rather than sulking and shutting myself up and pretending to be FIT. I could have been judged then and probably many of you reading this could be judging me now but that's not what I give importance to.. My overall health consists of my MENTAL HEALTH too and I have to take it seriously....
For a couple days till this news is giving us a shock people are showing awareness in mental health but I hope its not temporary and people can reach out for help without fearing that label or tag one will be attached with as people are not even tad bit aware of our individual inner chaos.. So they cannot be more important than our inner peace...
Let's take that control of our overall fitness and let this mentalhealthawareness always remain within us....
