MENTAL AWARENESS.

On my previous blog post I talked about two things, firstly about depression and secondly "log kya kahein gai" (what will people say about this). Today I will only be focusing on depression and to be a more specific mental illness. In layman language whenever we tell someone that I am mental will they don't take a second and put the label "tum Pagal ho" (you've gone mad).  That's so sad and harsh reality of our society and which makes me sadder that very well educated people are not aware of it and if they are, that themselves fear about talking mental illness.

What exactly is mental illness? Tension? NO. Mental illness is the very complete fatal disease that if untreated properly can also lead to death. And in 2018 we are witnessing many deaths. It doesn't matter that are suicides. What matters is that they were because of the reason that people were so ill and there as no one to understand them, listened them cure them and heal those wounds which were not at all on their body bleeding badly. But you know what they were bleeding, weeping and there as a huge storm of emotions inside them which are sealed.  We may fall into mental illness by any triggering event, a death of loved ones, broken relationships, sexual abuse, betrayal and most importantly loneliness. In my point of view when you are alone, all other causes jumbled up and become monsters.

Bipolar disorders, anxiety, panic attacks, depression, hallucinations and many more are examples of mental illness. Trust me every single person sitting next to you must have at least depression whatever the level is. If we inculcate the sense of empathy for others I really hope that at least people will start speaking up. They will let out hat is in their minds and the cause which leads to mental illness.

There are many professionals who can help people with these disorders but the matter is we don't approach them to fear to speak. But trust me these kind souls are so amazing that they make you feel alive again, they make you love life again. They give hope and positivity in fully packed mind with negativity. 

Other than going to professionals what we as separate individuals can do? Trust me we can do wonders. People can't always go to psychiatrists or psychologists every day. But we meet different people every day. First of all, start talking about it, start sharing. Don't hesitate. Obviously to those whom you can trust that they will not leak your secrets :P but don't stop with the fear of being judged. Good people will never do that and as I said earlier that every second person is facing this problem they will understand you. And please remember while talking makes sure the person who trusts you feel that you are actually LISTENING.  Secondly please please and PLEASE don't pass such statements that "yaar har koi pareshan hai apnai se neechai waloun ko Dekho". (Everyone is tensed you are not an exception. Trust me it causes a lot of pain and feeling of worthlessness. Thirdly recommend proper professional help by developing their trust. As my very own personal experience the psychologist and psychiatrists especially I will refer to psychologists are angels. They listen to you whatever you say. They will let you say that you want, they will let you cry at the top of your voice in their damn professional place.  They will never judge you and keep your secrets deep in your hearts and treat you like the fragile beautiful creation of GOD. ( DR UZMA MASROOR this refers to you especially if you are reading this you are my angel )💕

Lastly, I want to discuss very important things this topic is huge can write endless words because I experienced it so deeply.  Please don't spread negativity. Don't mock people if they are depressed or even if they just simply say I am tensed don't mock them. It can trigger terrible things. Be the source of help not devastation. Educate your families, we are losing so many lives because we are uneducated. Imagine the suicide of the person in HARAM SHAREEF, imagine that pain he as bearing that, the most HOLY PLACE COULD NOT STOP SUICIDE, the boy in the shopping mall. I can't even imagine hat would have been their mental state. Take a moment and think if someone helped them, listened to them and led to professionals may be they could be with us today.

So yeaah pretty people don't worry we together will bring change In Shaa ALLAH. Will we help each other? Start talking, start listening.  Put smiles on faces rather making them cry. You and me we all are victims and we will become warriors and Live this beautiful life gifted to us by our GREAT GOD. And do seek Allah's help. He surely help those who ask HIM. I MYSELF HAD experienced that HE listens and answer too. Never lose hope on HIM. ❤

ON lighter note I will end my post with my best friend's beautiful poetry which came into the great mind very spontaneously and I promised I will promote you in my blog. Here you go:

                     " Don't even try to make me fool'

                       It's just your bhool😀"

Till next time take care of yourself and the ones around you ❤
