"Is there not an end to this routine"
"Omg another day to survive "
" I just don't feel like working anymore"
" i don't like to talk to anyone "
" Another function to attend , let me give it a miss"
"Team outings , Pubs and drinks , i just hate it"
"Nah, don't talk to anyone about how you feel you are gonna get judged"
"Why is just existing feels so painful"
"Fuck this is so exhausting "
The thought goes on and on ..
Mental Health
A Man is not supposed to show signs of weakness
A Man should never cry or show signs of emotional weakness
"Amballa Pulla aluga kudathu"( A man should never cry)
"Ena da potta mathi azgura" ( why are you sobing like a girl) . These are some of the dailogues you could here in Kollywood movies often .
Yea Man shouldn't cry and you would be a subjected to ridicule right from your childhood if you are guy and you cry .
"Ena pa ivalo periya alla irunthu ipadi feel panra "( Your are well build yet you feel ) your muscular strength isn't the equivalent of your mental strength . You may be well build but deep inside might be all broken and shattered.
Men aren't suppose to show signs of weakness. How often have we seen our elders sayin " amballa Pulla Nala surusurupa iruka venama" (isn't a male suppose to be active all the time )
Men are most of the times judged based on the how much they earn what assets they have etc etc .
Sambathiyam purusha latchnam (Earning is a sign of a complete man , something like that )
Yes at some point we start earning in Lakhs but at what cost . The cost of being mentally drained , at the cost of not being able to smile and laugh . Running behind money and Loosing all those small happiness .. So what do we think is the purpose of life ..is it to be peaceful or rich ?
Always being compared... he is getting married why aren't you ? He is gone onsite why aren't you ? He has bought a big flat why haven't you ?He has bought a car when are you gonna buy ? Not everyone have the same goals and idea about life .. buying a car , house or getting married isn't what a successful life is all about ..
Just bcoz you earn well or just bcoz you have been good academically doesn't mean you would have a healthy space of mind ( you are earing well what problem would you have .you are a nerd you should be able to figure it out yourself) earning well or being sharp doesn't stop you from becoming mentally exhausted.
I thought of writting this after I say Virat's interview on Mental health
Yes there is a stigma about Mental Health especially surrounding Men. Yes we do often fail to admit that we are mentally down and need help .
Yes faking to be strong is worser than admitting to that you are mentally down.
To all of us out there !! Speak out if you feel down.. seek help when you need . There is nothing wrong in being mentally down . It's more biological than anything..
If you feel like your daily routine is affecting , feel like you are exhausted, feel like you are loosing weight, change in your appetite , feeling weight down or having gastritis or irration better to check it .. your Mental health is as important or even more important than your physical health
Happy Monday to you all!!!
