Better Together

Our minds are home to a lot of tangled thoughts, which become more and more dense the longer they remain there. It is only through healthy communication, support, sense of belonging and providing a safe space can these be untangled and the mind be freed of its demons. 

Looking at the big picture, and society as a whole, the socitey has various fragments tangling within itself. These tangles often lead to a suffocating atmosphere, darkness, lost sense of self and a bleak future. No matter how different we are all from each other, in no matter what aspect, it is only through the unison of its people can the society sort itself out and move straight ahead beyond its limits. 
We are a diverse society, with considerable amount of conflicts, both internal and external. Internal conflicts - within our hearts and minds leading to mental health issues; External conflicts - outside ourselves, but within the society which form the environment we find ourselves in. 

We can only be better, together. One for all and all for one, taking care of each others' mental and societal well being.

Living with Anxiety: The Dilemma of Everything in Life

By
“I don’t know”. Three words. Three words you know very well. Three words that are enough to annoy the person in front of you. But, these three words are the only ones that you know to be safe. You know that as long as you say these words, you are not exactly making a decision. And since, there is no decision, there will be no consequences. Not taking any decision, that’s your comfort zone. Well, isn’t that the best place to be in? Every time I am faced with a decision in life, it feels like a sword hanging over my head. My mind starts working like a complex algorithm that is almost impossible to solve. “If”, “But”, “what if”, “no”, “yes” – these words start dancing in my mind carrying strings of the past. The craziness of the thoughts reaches a level where that decision becomes a matter of death and death. Yes, not life and death, but death and death – because that’s all you can see ahead. OVERTHINKING. People say things like you are indecisive, you are not taking their advice, that yo...
