Allhumdolillah! I am at a much better place since my last post with series of lab tests, utlrasounds, a mammogram and some other really scary tests, and a gut wrenching anxiety of results. I am doing well thankfully everything was clear except low iron levels with vitamin d3 deficiency. These deficiencies are now on their way to recovery. It is worth noting that I have been struggling with intense brain and physical fatigue since 2019 but not a single doctor was able to identify my problem. Once somebody is diagnosed with depression or anxiety then every health issue they complain about is looked from the psychological lenses. Nobody asked me to check iron, vitamin b12 or vitamin d3 deficiencies even my mum who is a dermatologist always assured me that I am fine and this weakness is just a phase. It was a phase alright, it engulfed almost 8 years of my life pushed back my career and research ambitions. This is not the case alone with me but there are many people who silentl...
Many thanks to my friends and all
of you for your warm comments and sharing your beautiful moments with us.
Friends, I believe is one such
topic which always strikes some deep chord of our hearts. I always cherish
friendship because this is the relationship which we make ourselves and
sometimes it lasts for a life time.
There have been moments, some
tough times in my life and had there not been the support of my friends it
would have been difficult for me to make it through. So I owe a lot to my
family and friends for putting up with me.
These days for one reason or the
other I am spending my time mostly with teenagers or young adults who are
entering into 20’s. Either we take boys or girls I see most of them in
depression or in some unknown anxiety. Some concern about their financial
situation while others worry about their career and studies. Reason could be
many but their feelings are almost the same, that they don’t feel good.
I do my best to befriend and
convince them that we all go through such times but ultimately we all make it. However,
even with all my positive attitude I am deeply concerned about them. I wonder
whether its our economic state that is making them so vulnerable or is there is
another source to this issue.
Whatever the reason might be, we
as adults who have made till now need to give our 100% support to every child
whom we meet.
I think just listening to them,
without any judgement or criticism helps a lot. In the end we all just want to
be heard.
