All they ever need is support but they never ask it loud, scared and ashamed if they would get judged for it. The road to progress is never a straight one. It has a lot of ups and downs. Only when people stop shaming and start caring, the world would become a better place.
Her unapologetic language and honesty makes it easier for every reader to relate to this book. She takes us through her childhood, teenage years, and adulthood, and how with each phase the anxiety within her grew. With each page you realise, how depression never had a face. She did her research well, which reflects when certain terms are explained well and in detail.
Each chapter is like a lesson and I personally felt touched with her experience. It is rather brave of her to let us readers into her head for it is easy to talk about your highs, but hard to take one through your lows. The book has one clear message: you are not alone. If you need help ask, if you know someone who does help them. It is never too late and it will be okay.
Sneha Banerjee has been writing for half a decade now. She is also a professional copywriter and has worked for many businesses. She is a voracious reader, and her ultimate dream is to turn everyone into a reader.
Clearly the two are never going to tie up one for one, and the relationship became particularly undone around the pandemic. However, the takeaway is clear. Weak and falling consumer confidence should lead to weaker real demand.
So, the takeaway is clear. It is high prices, not a weaker economy right now that is driving down consumer sentiment. If lower sentiment were to result in reduced spending which has historically been the case, we should also expect the broader economy to weaken as well.
Given the impact high inflation has on the spending power of lower income households, my bias would have been to assume that they would exhibit the lowest confidence. However, this isn\u2019t currently the case. While doesn\u2019t provide any further information, we can make a few educated guesses.
Depression, anxiety, panic attacks and other forms of psychological problems are still not commonly discussed though they have made room in most of the households. According to a research by India Today held in 2018, India has been declared as the most depressed country in the world. There are innumerable reasons due to which these psychological scenarios occur which might be chemical imbalance in the brain, environmental causes, social pressures and many more. Increase in the awareness has also brought about various solutions to provide support to people who suffer from such problems like therapies, medicines, etc.
Had I been less desperate, I wouldn't have tried writing romance. My biggest dream since college was to write a book. I wanted to write some amazing fantasy book that readers would fall in love with. I wanted to make enough money that I could live what I imagined a writers life would be like: some cozy cabin out in the woods where I could take walks in the morning and live a thoughtful, quiet life. Of course, I also wanted tons of money in my bank account in this little fantasy too, and book tours, signings, public speaking, etc.
So what did all this money get me so far? It meant we rented a house that is $2500 a month instead of $1500 a month. It means I have an upstairs with a bathroom that I can use as an office to write in so it's harder for the babies to bother me and we live in a nice neighborhood full of retirees who never come outside. It means if I want to buy a soda and a candy bar at the gas station I don't have to stress about the $4 it costs me, and I don't think too much about the price of gas or the cost of my groceries.
But what has really changed? What feels different about my daily life? This is where I know I won't get sympathy and I don't expect any. But the only difference is instead of stressing about how the electric bill was $30 higher this month and I need to get better about turning off lights or get used to not setting the AC as low--instead of that I'm worried about how much money my next book is going to make or whether I'm spending too much on ads. I'm worried that the platform my career is based on is shaky and could go away without a moment's notice and I wouldn't be that far from where I started. Most of all I'm worried that I'm selling out my dream and tainting it because I've been chasing money writing in a genre I don't like, and when the time (maybe) comes that I can write a book I really want to write, it's never going to feel as sweet because of what I'm doing right now.
My closing thought is that I'm unhappy because I built up the idea of being rich to be something it could never be. I built up money for so long because I never had enough. I subconsciously thought getting money would be the cure-all. Instead, I look back on the years I spent teaching and think about all the fun moments I had with my students and how I was making myself part of the culture of the school. I think about the things I wish I could share with future students now and the ways I let them down by not giving my all on lesson planning. All the little moments I was wishing away and trying to rush through are the ones I look back on now and realize I should've been cherishing.
The book is her chronological account of dealing with depression since the age of 12, cross-cut with her description of a depressive episode in detail. Chapters are also bookended with pages from journals that she had been maintaining for almost two decades, which provide a peek into the sort of mental agony she faced day in and day out.
Since India is not particularly known for being sensitive to mental health issues, have you faced any flippant or ignorant questions during this process?
Not really. I have been lucky that way. I have been fortunate to get positive responses so far. Everyone has been very sensitive, which leads me to believe that people do have a deeper understanding of depression than we think. Everyone is facing some version or the other of this. People understand a lot more than we give them credit for.
How do you decide what to share and what to withhold?
I did not hold back at all with the book. I only did not talk about things which I felt were not relevant to the story, such as my relationships. Otherwise, I have been honest about my family, my suicidal tendencies, my alcoholism. There can be no half measures while opening up. Every aspect of your life informs your depression, so you might as well talking about everything.
Your description of your first panic attack, some would say, is very specific and accurate.
I have had panic attacks frequently, and they always followed the same pattern. But I remember my first episode very vividly because it was a genuinely terrifying moment in my life and I felt I was going to die. I remember every step of it since it was a sensation I had never experienced before. Panic attacks after that were very familiar.
Unwittingly known as Alia Bhatt's older sister, screenwriter and fame-child Shaheen Bhatt has been a powerhouse of quiet restraint-until recently. In a sweeping act of courage, she now invites you into her head.
After a difficult breakup, I lost a massive amount of weight, about 100 pounds over two years. I stayed thin for two or three years and I have never been unhappier. Can you guess why? I did it for the wrong reasons!
My husband again didn't sit with me when he came back. As usual, I was not his priority. His family was more importantBut today, I didn't feel bad about this. I didn't feel empty because of this. I didn't cry or fight... I picked up my laptop, started working, had a good meal, and prioritized myself! My husband as always was always thinking of others, never for me. But it didn't hurt anymore. I was thinking of myself! My husband again in the last week canceled a plan with me. Rather than feeling dejected, hopeless, lonely, I went ahead with my own plan with my friends. I was focussing on my happiness, my health, my own respect, and my own emotions too. It was tough but it was important, for my mental health and for my life... I had been depressed ever since my marriage.In my heart and my mind, I had made my worth completely attached to my husband. I wanted his time, attention, love, admiration but he never saw me as his first family. He would ignore me, make me feel secondary, never show me affection, always treat me as though loving me was against his family, it would somehow make him "anti-family" or even "wrong". This was also because his family and everyone else around too had always kept their spouses secondary and a son was only supposed to be for his family, while a wife's role was to serve, have children, work for others' happiness. But I wasn't this person... I wasn't someone who had ever been without love, respect... I had huge dreams from my marriage and really had made my husband, the center of my life... I was getting broken, mentally alone, and isolated each day BECAUSE of his ignorance... I felt like I have no reason to be happy. I felt like I have no worth... I felt so alone and so stuck in life... My career was in shambles, my mental health was breaking... I had never been unhappier... I had stopped talking to people who loved me... I just wanted my husband's attention and I was losing my SELF RESPECT TOO in the process. I joined IWill therapy when no one around could help me... When no one around was even listening to me... It was in therapy that I realized my worth... My husband's behavior, upbringing, values were not in my control... And so I couldn't base my happiness, my life on how he treated me... I had to get assertive, I had to get strong... I had to stand up for myself... The therapist helped me focus on myself, speak to me and give me emotional strength and a perspective of my own value... She helped me get into a routine that allowed me a distraction, motivation, happiness. She stood by me to fight my emotional weaknesses so that I could really support myself emotionally...My husband and everyone around has noticed changes in me... In fact, my husband now wants to also find out, why I don't cry or get hurt as much due to his ignorant behavior. But currently, I am focussing on myself, not on anything else... In the past few years, I had lost a lot of me... And currently, I am fixing that, my broken self-esteem, my broken career, and broken belief that I deserve happiness and love!
