You all must be wondering why we are talking about this suddenly, so in this pandemic we all go through some emotional and physical changes, we all see something good and something worst that has changed us completely . And we all talk about our changes and our life, we all are busy in making our life worth living, we all are busy in uploading our lifestyles on social media but one thing we don’t talk about or we can say nobody tends to listen about is “Our Feelings”. So before you say something I would like to share with you guys my story.
I’m born in a middle class family where females are taught to live life according to the rules made by them or written for them (only for women). If women tend to break the rules she’s either locked in her house or get married. But my parents did their successful job in giving me a wonderful life. The life that every girl wish for, I went to a wonderful school, wear wonderful clothes but I was only allowed of using this luxurious things until and unless I follow all there rules and regulations. I’m not a feminist nor I’m an anti-feminist but I hate thoughts of my family where my brothers can do everything they wanted to but we sisters can’t just because we were woman and we are not even allowed to take a step before asking. Yes that was our life. You are loved and cherished unless and until you follow their filthy thoughts and rules and if you broke any of them, Nobody cares about what you think Nobody cares what you feel And nobody cares if you live. In this pandemic I realize many things, I thought about every single thing that was important in my life. But it doesn’t did any good instead it led me to anxiety attacks and depression. At certain point I stop talking to my family my friends, I start ignoring their calls and texts, I even deleted all my social media accounts. All I do is thinking and thinking all day and due to lack of sleep lack of eating food my health was getting more and more worst. Sometimes I even wonder what if I’m dead, what if I don’t even exist. All day long the only thing I thought about was suicide ideation.
HOW DID I RECOVER FROM THAT?
While going through all this when I started losing weight continuously my parents took me to many doctors and specialist but they don’t understand what was I going through because I don’t speak I wanted to but I just couldn’t tell . · So I started writing, writing about my feelings, writing about my thoughts, writing about my daily life and then I turned them into poems and songs.
· I start uploading those poems and songs on social media platforms or on some social sites, where people started reaching them and started giving me attention. They even started talking to me reaching me, they even share there thoughts and problems they were going through.
· I started listening to songs, started singing them and it felt so good at certain point I even forget about my problems.
The whole point of this blog was to make you feel that you are not alone, they are many more people who are going through all this too. So if you're thinking like me too, so just think once about your loved once, about your dreams and about yourself . Just once.
Start working on your hobbies
Start sharing your feelings
Start listening to other feelings
And if still you don't feel well try taking medical help ASAP.
This is life , and it's all about a little ups and down , we just have to fight from them and show them that we are not weak .
