  Have you ever felt as if nothing made sense? Nothing was working in the way that you wanted it to work? And when you tried to address that to someone and seek help, you were given solutions that were to problems that you never had? Ever told your parents/friends you were feeling overwhelmed with everything and just feeling so confused or sad or having anxiety? And they replied that you should just be happy; just ignore the negative feelings or to stop using your smartphone because it's the cause of all your problems; start doing yoga. Well, same. Now the problem doesn't lie in the people who we seek help from, mostly if we're reaching out to them it's because we feel safe with them, we love them and trust them and we know that they also care for us. They are concerned for us but can they actually understand us? Or relate with our situation? In most cases not really. So where does the problem lie then? Mental illness, also called mental health disorders, refers to a wi...

  We have been reading so many articles, facts and stories about mental health these days. Stories about depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder etc. Many people have curbed up their phase of poor mental health while some have drowned in this phase to such an extent that it has taken a toll on their life. According to WHO reports more than 246 million people of all ages are suffering from depression. More than 700,000 people die by suicide every year, which is one person every 40 seconds. Suicide is accounted for 1.3% of all deaths worldwide, making it the 17th leading cause of death in 2019. This is worrisome and alarming. The WHO defines mental health as "a state of well-being in which the individual realizes his or her own abilities, can cope with the normal stresses of life, can work productively and fruitfully, and is able to make a contribution to his or her community" . But is the population worldwide really standing up to this definition, probably not. The best example ...

  Questions     Do they hate me? Does she hate me? "How could she?" she says this every time, But I believe its otherwise, even if I don't want to. Am I supposed to be perfect at everything? I know I'm not right every time, But am I always wrong? I need a shoulder to cry on to, But whose shall I borrow? When the one I want is unavailable.     They   say accept you are not perfect, not supposed to be. But what if I did and no one else does? And what if I accept all my insecurities, But they can't? How do you fit in this place ? Where everyone wants you to 'fit in'? And do you know what's funny? The 'they' are not 'they', 'They' are 'my' people. ~ Amanah Shaikh ( SYBA)

  End STIGMA   All face it, but don't express it. There is cure to every pain, Whether it affects you're heart or brain. Different paths along the way, But they weren't meant to stay. In isolation day by day, Wandering far away. Scared of voices, Battling with losses. Chains will be tight, The key is to fight. Stigma encourages secrecy, Remember health is supremacy. Stop making false assumptions, On society's opinions. Seeking counseling or showing signs such sadness, Often misinterpreted as signs of weakness. Try to be more acceptable, It's a disorder that is treatable. Family support can help destigmatize, Treatment and using therapy is the way to normalize. Treat physical and mental health equally, Stigma shouldn't be endorsed silently. It requires a lot more  awareness, To achieve overall wellness. Reluctant smile on face, Everything heals at its pace. ~ Benisha Cardoza    SYBsc 

  Inner Conflict I woke up one day And felt my face It was wet. I looked at my pillow It was also drenched. I recalled, I had cried myself to sleep yesterday My eyes were still red and puffy What had happened? I didn't remember. The day passed and the night came I slept. I woke up Again to find that the tears had escaped What had happened? I didn't remember. It happened again And again It continued. I didn't know what was happening to me I was so confused I was so sad I had forgotten to smile My mom used to see me with her sullen eyes She always tried to hide her face What was she hiding? She would not wear makeup anymore Her eyes had dark circles underneath them The most puzzling thing was that all the knives All the scissors of the home Had been removed or hidden From whom? I didn't know. One day she started crying, my mom was crying She was so loud I didn't know what was happening I looked around I saw myself holding a blade in one hand And the other underneath t...
