Another LIFE story.....


Life is a mess.   
So complicated to untangle.
Much deeper to find out
Where the troubles root from.
Life is a bad nightmare.
I can’t expect anything good.
Every day is a new worry.
Never ending tears.
There’s no purpose
In anything I do.
We live temporary lives.
Will we wake up alive tomorrow?
We don’t know.
I wake up in the morning
To realize it was not another dream,
But another fucking day
To get through so hard.
I hate the rain.
The rain which many people await.
It brings me nightmares.
With the worst experiences
Which life could ever offer.
"Dude, are you fine"?
"Yeah"! I sigh.
"Tell me everything
I’m ready to listen".
We sit on the isolated
Bench at the park.
He’s waiting right next to me
Until I speak my heart out.
In the distance I glimpse
A horse galloping with his rider.
With a sigh I realize,
That I don’t find it thrilling anymore.
I pour my pain out
Mingled with streams of warm tears
I feel a little ease on my heart.
"What now"? He asks.
"l will never be able to see
The colours which I used to see before".
"I want my life back".
"I don’t want to wake up tomorrow
With the same shit haunting me".
“You need to see him tomorrow”
He lends me a visiting card.
"Nobody can fix my problems
It will only worsen things"
I disagreed.
Be ready at 3:00, he insists.
What more could go wrong now?
I agree, no other choice have I got.
It's almost 5:15.
I walk out room ‘109’.
He awaits with an eager face.
"How did it go"?
"I’ve got homework to do".
He smiles at the corner of his mouth.
Heading to my fourth session
I see a horse with it’s rider
At the park.
I miss my horse riding evenings
I realize…
"Dude, how are things"?
He asks,
"None of those things
Will ever change",
"But do I"! I replied….

 "Talk and seek help" you are not alone........
 "Listen and offer help" it's about another life........

Let's talk about it....


Mental health care is not merely about having a mental disorder and getting it treated. It’s about how well you feel fine inside your head. Are your thoughts bothering you? Are you feeling sad, denied, alone, lost or hopeless? It all matters….Mental health deserves equal care just like how well you maintain your physical health. Recall about how well you take care about your physicality. Healthy food, supplements, beauty products, all sorts of salon treatments and gym. Yet, how much have you thought about your mental health. Have you taken enough care with regard to your stresses and anxieties? Are you considered about how mindful you are when doing things? Are you not ready to open up about issues bothering you so much just because you are worried that people would judge you?

 Imagine that you fell and broke your leg. Would anybody come to you and say to not worry about it, it’ll be fine? No, isn’t it. You’d seek a professional and get the required treatments. Similarly, unhealthy symptoms of the mind too requires equal care. Heartaches and emotional pain hurts our mind just like physical pain would do. The internal damage to the mind too is similar to physical damage. And if we do not seek help at the right time it may end up in critical situations, sometimes irreversible.

Our mental wellbeing is important as it goes on to affect both our present and future. It is more than what we assume it to be.  If we are not in the right space of mind, it will definitely impact our thinking, actions, decisions and happiness after all. Therefore, it is vital to make sure that you are mindful about your mental health and is taking the right precautions.

 We all perceive things differently. Similarly, every person do not breakdown as easily as others. Yet, it is high time to realize that what you are today is solely due to your thoughts and decision making process. You may not have complete control over your physicality, but have you even realized that your mentality is definitely under your control. Yeah, sometimes or many a times we feel messed up in the head, not knowing what to do or involuntary thoughts and feelings troubling us. That is why it is IMPORTANT to be mindful. There are many things which we can do to have control over our mentality. Sports, music, dance, meditation and yoga are some of the wonderful practices to boost up your endorphins which helps us to think fresh.  But, when you know that something is really wrong where you find it difficult to cope up, seeking help is vital. A simple step, maybe talking to a person about it in the first place would certainly make a change. Now, whom to talk? Sometimes, simply talking to a trusted person, your parents, a friend or partner would help out. But it does not help always. Certain issues within our mind need some solid direction to help get resolved. That is when you need to talk to a professional who would guide you through.

Keep this in mind! Once you are broken completely the consequences may become permanent. Even though things mend, you may never be able to see life the way you used to do. But, if you remain resilient and conscious about what’s going on in your head, you can conquer your mind. Then of course, no matter what, you have complete control over your mind, body and even the world.
