To sustain them is also tough because they expect normal behaviour and can't keep up with our struggles.
Jab mental health struggles se koi doob Raha ho to bachaane ke liye uske paas Jana padta hai.. na ki door se baith ke batayen ki kaise tairna hai.
No one showed up for me, even the old ones I tried to catch up on call tried to check and judge my brain and behaviour because they want "normal".
So everything can be done, the diet, the excercise and everything but social connections and laughter? Only someone extremely lucky can come back to normalcy from mental health issues.
