Talk, it is not that tough!

Just heard the news of Sushant Singh Rajput’s suicide! It is really saddening.
It reminds me of how I went into a deep depression a couple of years back. Yes. I had to deal depression. It arrived due to multiple reasons combined and  A work related opportunity that I could not get was one of them. This opportunity would have solved all the financial crunches I had. I was counting high on it. I was terrified. I went on thinking about the same every day, every night. It was too tough for me to handle it. Plus the fact that the person whom I could share everything was not with me. My mum. She went to the US to visit my Sister. We could not meet for 3 months. And these three were the harshest.
My friends, to whom I could talk about everything, were not around. Used to visit to my hometown every weekend to see my Papa and cry the entire journey. Wipe my tears. Cover it with smile and move ahead. At this point in time, one of my friends realized that it is not normal with me and listened to everything I said. That help me flush out all my thoughts and get in the positivity he tried to infuse. Had this not happen at that time, I could have thought about ending my game.. Thank God! I spoke. I took some help and got through it. And I cannot thank that friend enough! When you are under some pressure, talk. No matter how strong you pretend to be outside, if you need help, talk! Talking out is the key here. Nothing works better than this. As shown in the movie Dear Zindagi, it might seem abnormal at first to seek a medical help here, but, if needed, go for it. It is there to improve the situation. Do not hesitate.
And amidst all this, there was one manager of mine, Xyz(name changed, off course), he enjoyed the frustration in me related to the above and used to just fuel the fire during office time by saying, ‘Oho, aap to reh gaye. Aapko jo chahiye tha, wo to aur kisi ko mil gaya’ stuff. Please stay away from such people. And one suggestion to people, just analyse your behaviour. If it is like the person above, just stop doing it. You never know what the person is going through and what your reaction might result into.
