Sushant Singh Rajput..no More:(

Why do we need to know real reason behind his death? May be He has his own issues and when someone is in depression, there is a chance of take drastic step. Moreover He doesn't like to reveal his too personal to the world that's why he hadn't left any suicide note. So, Just accept it.

 

I hate when people associate weak mind to depression or tell he/she is too sensitive to handle . Not everyone likes to talk to their family or friends about their woes.I was one .Till date no one in my family or friends circle knew what I was going through for 2 years. I always wanted them to see me as a happy person and not a broken person .
Probably this actor also wanted to keep this with himself but lost it in a bad way.

 

@mangaii Completely off topic but if you don’t mind my asking who is that in your profile pic?

 

I dont think IQ, EQ or status etc has any relation to depression to mental illness. It can occur with no obvious reason or as a result of a traumatic event and in some cases genetic factors (eg:Schizophrenia)

If one find you or your dear ones in sinking mode, consult a therapist or counselor or psychiatrist as soon as possible. Timely help and medicines can save lives.

@AppuMom if possible find a counselor and vent it out. These kind of stress can damage even our health. It's a good option if we dont have a very close friend/family member to depend on and listen to us without any bias.

 

Why, isnt that Jayalalitha ?

 

Its the ifs and buts and the never ending questions that most of them dont feel like opening up about themselves.

Depression happens and no one chooses it, no matter how successful a person is in terms of financial and other aspects, it happens....
Unfortunately in our society by and large depression and mental health is still considered a taboo subject and this is also one of the maon reason a person doesn't open up.

 

As in many things it is not possible to know without having walked in their shoes.
As someone who underwent ppd and not even realising it till the tag end, as someone feeling helpless not being able to reach out thru a loved one's wall of depression/anxiety , as someone who sat holding her DH's had trying to comprehend when he says - " you know only now I can feel feelings - when I laugh I can feel it", I can tell you depression isnt weakness, or isnt high expectations, isnt something to snap out of, - it is far more insidious , it claws into the very essence of you and takes you.

Allie Brosh has so simply managed to show her depression trials in the below blog, do read it, Gives a glimpse of a world so different, where logic and normal feelings dont apply anymore. Sometimes makes you wonder if that is the price some people pay for their creativity

My son and I discovered this blog when he was still in kindergarten and loved to read them together. We had hours and hours of fun reading and seeing her cute illustrations, rooting for that little gusty girl . I leave you with one of my favs,

@mangaii
Food for thought, may be op is really connected to the internet community here on this platform, may be this place here on the web is her comfort corner, may be posters here can relate to her or vice versa, may be op is also a very emotionally fragile person in real life, who seeks to empty herself here, so that she can be a strong person to her family and the outer world, may be like the rest of us, she is completely shaken by the terrible demise of a young talent, may be unknowingly she can relate to the lost one, may be op has no idea of what is depression. There can be so many hidden reasons for this thread and many others. I'm sorry for derailing the thread, but I found this post extremely rude. As long as I am aware, one of the main pre requisites of starting a new thread here is politeness. If we are so thoughtful and articulate, that we shall post only what makes sense, this website will cease to exist. I know it's just wishful thinking, but how nice it would be, if we stopped delivering our judgements here and there, how nice it would be if we didn't have anything nice to say or write, we just remained quite.
