Hey all ! I am Ankit
Today I am here to share one of my experience about mental health issue with you all
Silent storm in my mind
One of my friends called me oye pagal (MENTAL),After hearing that words there was a silent storm in my mind…I was thinking that is he right ?..yesterday my psychiatrist had told me that you have symptoms of bipolarity (A mental disorder)
Does bipolarity means MENTAL ? ohh yes I remembered that I asked same question to psychiatrist and She said “not at all” very kindly she replied ; Bipolarity refers as a mental disorder which has symptoms like overthinking, headache, sudden change in emotions, tired ness , cut out with society , appetite loss etc. Anyone can show this symptoms & can easily recover from this …
But how ?
My mind was stuck on that particular words CUT OUT WITH SOCIETY…will society accept my bipolarity ? With whom shall I talk to? Who will understand my situation ?
I come from a middle class family…where psychiatrists consider as a doctor of mental people, so how could I tell them ; I was diving into the thoughts of future. Imagine there was a situation in my surroundings where going on any topic at that moment my observations & my opinion are entirely different from rest of other (if you are from middle class family then you can imagine what will happen)…then people started making assumptions – ohh we can understand you are suffering from any mental disability so you can think only like this . But there is no any matter of being wrong and being right , The matter is how people treats a person who is suffering from mental health…
I was in the ocean suddenly a healing voice awoke me and said hey don’t take stress take your medicine.
I was in fear
Because the same situation was with my mom and that time there was no one for her …and one thing I decided that Today I will talk to my mom and tell her everything.
Now my friend has come to me & I gave him a smile and asked what happened?
I remembered that lesson which my mom told me that day ” YOU ARE A HUMAN”
