Abuse of any form isn't acceptable and is equally awful. But usually, emotional or mental abuse goes unnoticed. Scars are visible in the case of physical abuse and the level of the pain can be assumed on the basis of the depth of the wound. Although that too doesn't give any justice to the victim but at least we get to know that something bad has happened, which cannot be known in the case of mental abuse. Often mental abuse is neglected for not having visible scars. Those scars gets piled up inside the victim's mind which often releases in the form of self harm, self doubt, overthinking...

A crisis isn’t a crisis unless it has taken the maximum from you. One in today is the havoc of the Corona Virus. It’s nowhere expected to stay in the best state of your mind, when the whole world is compromising every minute.

Perhaps symbolically, on Friday the 13th of March I started self-isolating with my sister as we both had symptoms of COVID 19. It was a full 10 days before the UK went into lockdown and whilst we were stuck inside, the world I knew was being ground to a historic halt. Being detached from everyone, even my family, was surreal. The 14 day period we spent in quarantine was exhausting. At the start we didn’t know much, information on the situation was being drip fed via newspaper articles and columns. The guidance was geared towards older people and I was constantly left with more questions than...
One of the situations of great magnitude, with which we have had to face as humanity today; It is the COVID-19 Pandemic that took us by surprise. The confinement in our homes to stop the immediate spread of the virus and thus avoid the collapse of health systems around the world, has been able to reveal other social problems that spread daily and we cannot forget. Due to the quarantine, although gender violence increased, also children and adolescents who were already victims of domestic violence have been trapped with their aggressor. The abuse can be physical or psychological and the...
The days are getting colder and the leaves are falling down Everywhere you look these days, all you see is a frown. You cannot help your heartache or the tears that threaten to fall You try to think back to the happier days, but even those you can barely recall. It feels like it's been forever since we've set a single foot outside It's tempting to just open the door... but there are rules we have to abide. I know that everybody is tired and we long for a world we once knew We want to take this picture frame and turn it so it's no longer askew. But you know that everything we're doing is not...
What is right in your mind and heart makes us do the right thing! During this time we should: - Maintain social distancing - must wear a mask - protect yourself
Wuhan Town's in Hubei; Near picturesque Xiling Gorge; The river Yangtze deep and wide; divides the Jianghan plains on the eastern side; A more beautiful kaleidoscope of colours I never spied; But, then begins my ditty. In 2020, just a few months ago, the city’s folk suffered so, from corona, was a pity. Bats! They spread their virus to the pigs and cats; And even to pangolins in their cages; Crossing borders this insidious virus, in rapid stages. PANDEMIC!! PANDEMIC!! Trial vaccines started by the academics; All International borders were now sealed. Masses started dying; Global citizens...
The social fabric of a society blossoms more when we tie the knots of friendships, tenderness, and awareness tight, care for those in our close eyesight, fighting emotional battles. We all know someone, or know someone who knows someone, facing the dilemma of depressions, fighting the lone battles, emitting the depression vibes. We can feel it or, rather see it in their social media sharing. We are occupied in lives and think what we go through is final we do not see carefully what our social circle is sharing. KEEP A CLOSE LOOK, are they sharing some posts, statuses which have sad reactions...
The new coronavirus, COVID-19, is an epidemic that places high demands on hygiene measures. Among these measures, the master rule requires us to wash our hands frequently. This washing should be done with soap or ash or with disinfectant or hydroalcoholic gel, which is not available to the majority of the population, especially in this period of adjusting to the new normal. A seemingly simple gesture In Balbala, water has become increasingly scarce. To fill a 20-liter canister or a 30-liter basin, you have to travel great distances because most of the taps are dry. No one provides explanations...
Personally, every single time I leave my house; whether it is to go into town, to college, for a run or just to go to a party, one thing always crosses my mind- is what I'm wearing too 'risky'? I don't use the term 'risky' in the context of is this too 'outgoing'? - I wish I did! instead, I am constantly concerned to whether I will be sexualised or objectified in any outfit I decide to wear, whether its a dress, a skirt, shorts or even skinny jeans. And that scares me... so much. I have been raised in a society where it is your clothing that determines your consent, your clothing is a symbol...
Imagine your school as a solar system. Your teacher is the sun because she/he helps you learn a lot, overcome difficulties and build the future. And you are a planet, you can choose any of them. To study in class, you must pass a soap belt. And don't worry about viral asteroids, as long as you wash your hands and wear a mask, they will fly by you.
Please note that this article mostly relates to depression. September is also known as Suicide Awareness Month which directly relates to mental health. But people shouldn't just be aware of mental health illness's for two months (since there is also a Mental Health Awareness Month) , it should be always. As long as others are suffering, we should be aware of their pain and work to help make the suffering cease. Mental health is an issue every month, every week, every day, every hour, every minute, every second, it is constant. It is sad to realize the fact that over 264 million people across...
Hush the wind that poisons streets Rush the moment when we fall weak Down comes sliding the heaven above Crush the pain that suffers beneath I saw you in the shadows of your home, Drinking, eating and staying alone With the death’s smell in empty street Praying for the safety of unknowns Let’s fall on knees and beg to lord Or walk on cautions and be strong Cause we know it’s winter on our window And this time it stayed so long #2020-corona-year
The virus that has by now spiralled the most unexpected places far from its origin, the time when death toll made the headlines; little did we imagine this tiny town would be a victim of this pandemic too. The cases started rising at the time when lockdown was lifted and I was scared for my dad as he had to go to office everyday due to emergency service. The time becomes more crucial and terrifying when we see our loved ones in problems. To my utmost horror this happened to my family. Within a month the cases started rising. And my dad started showing mild symptoms. I still didn't think that...
"One in four people in the world will be affected by mental or neurological disorders at some point in their lives" - World Health Organisation 25% is a lot of people. October 10th is about raising mental health awareness. It takes a lot of strength to seek help, to stay positive, and even to get out of bed in the morning. Today, it's also important to remember those who lost their lives to mental illness, to recognise what they went through, and to strive to improve both ourselves and the services available for those who are struggling. The definition of mental health varies from person to...
I am appalled and don’t ask me why Why I feel for the girl that was raped, mutilated, murdered and then her body destroyed like some unwanted object Why I feel for safety and security of every girl in the country, every day, everyplace at all hours of day Why am I affected by the news of some random girl being tortured in a far away remote village, while enjoying my privileged life in big city How do I feel the pain that she and numerous other women go through in their life for the sole reason that they were born that way Why do I feel my tongue is cut and spine broken, body mutilated when in...
Many people who consider themselves more mature than us (young people), and label us only children who do not know anything. I want to tell a little story, i have ever expressed some opinions to people who are older than me and most of them just think of my opinion as little child babble or don't think of it at all. You know, after you (the person who ignores my opinion) I never dared to give an opinion again, before I read the article on "how to give an opinion", the article made me dare to give an opinion again (it can be considered as mental-healing). Actually, i am so mad in my heart...
