jUNAID'S STORY

Hello everyone, my name is Junaid. I’m a 17-year-old boy. I’m here to tell you about my story, how I overcame my depression and I HOPE you will inspire. So I was a kid who loves to stay connected with relatives and friends. I didn’t like to stay alone. But in 2018, something happened to me and

I dropped my education and started cutting off my friends. I started staying alone in my home. I can’t express how hard it was in my depression phase because I can’t even feel anything, I was unconscious at that moment. And I tried to start my education again & again but failed. Then anger issues started, and I was ruining myself, I was having suicidal thoughts and sometimes I tried to attempt suicide. 

After that at the end of 2019, I started taking medicine, I took it for 1.5 years from top psychiatrists in the city. But in the end, they all said that. “In the future, I can be dangerous to others because I had major anger issues.” That words broke me so badly and I loosed all my hope. I was fully confident for suicide. But I started faking myself and showing myself as if I’m fine, but it was getting tough for me. 

It was June 2022, some twist happened to me after a few days my mother took me to another doctor forcefully. I was thinking that nothing could happen to me now. But I was wrong when I did my first session with Divya ma’am. I was feeling happier than in years. Session by session I started feeling good & happy. 

After a month I started feeling more aware of myself, and I can feel my surrounding. Then it’s my own choice to take sessions, not forcefully. Now it’s been 7 months, I’m fully motivated, aware of myself, I have control over myself, now I’m totally fine. I HOPE it will motivate you to take a stand for yourself and I wouldn't be less proud if my story helps even a single person to overcome the fear of taking the help. Please don't give up, you should take counseling & support if you are stuck in your life. There's nothing to be ashamed of, just take help. Therapy is really a good option and mental health is really very important and a very sensitive topic. Maybe if my mother hadn't brought me for the therapy sessions, I would have had "late" in front of my name.
