Hey Everyone 💛💛

World’s Mental Health Day is just around the corner, don’t forget to be kinder and more empathetic to yourself and people around you. Here’s a small message by Undertow to everyone out there 💗

28/08/2021

Most of the times we don't know what we need while dealing with difficult emotions. We do things we don't understand which ultimately decreases our capacity to be in touch with our emotions.
The farther we move away from our emotions, the bigger they become.
Mostly what we need is recognition and understanding of what we're going through and compassion from ourselves.
A lot of compassion.
Being hard on yourself at that moment is just like hitting yourself while you're already down.
The only way up is to hold yourself and start getting back on that road again. 🌸
Here are some affirmations you can use to regulate and understand the emotions you're going through. 🌟

Undertow arranged an "Art Therapy" session composed of 35 people at CMH Lahore Medical College. It was mainly based on providing a platform and creating a space for the participants, where they can mindfully reflect on their emotions. We chose Art as a medium for expression, self exploration and self reflection. The event was not about how artistic you can be. It was all about how honest you are with your feelings.
We highly appreciate the efforts of all the people who allowed themselves to open up in the therapy session. And we are so honoured that Dr. Imama Zainab, a psychiatrist joined us. Her passion and kindness shows how honestly she puts things out there.
We'll be sharing all the activites being performed in the Art Therapy soon! 🌸 @ CMH Lahore Medical College

People in any age, especially teenage, often feel lonely in their lives despite of some friends and somewhat normal family lifestyle. In search of the answer, they experiment with their lives; make friends from different walks of life, hang out more often, try to get in a relationship and some even resort to drugs. Out of these, I'll highlight about the ones who try to get in a relationship.
To start with, this seems to be the best answer but honestly, trying to commit to someone in times of inherent loneliness leaves you in a worse crisis, most of the times, in long run. The other person does not see the healthy version of yours and might even just lend a hand thinking you are just another part of their temporary phase in which you would just be friends for the time being. Then comes the part where you form attachment, develop feelings or expectations that are not mutual since other person was not as lonely as you were. Soon, two of them are moving in opposite directions while one of them resenting this since it felt like the answer but in reality, it was not. Thus begins the struggle to come out of a deeper pit the person has fallen in. At times, the person would just exhaust while trying as hard as it could be. Spells of depression or anxiety might go alongside this. The weight seems unbearable.
While people are almost right when they say that no one has the answer but to some extent, they can come up with their own answer. What could strengthen them in their struggle could be talking about the thing that caused them to fall in a pit, to a person they consider would value their company and this literally involves speaking out about the qualities you saw in that person with whom you wished to have been in a relationship and realising that those qualities are not unique to that person; that person was not the last person you could be with if only you dont limit your perspective and have faith in wisdom of higher power.
Lastly, working on your self like physically, mentally and spiritually, socialising with positive people and helping those in need especially with the same difficulty as yours and managing to have a state of balance between what you should do and what you can do about the progress in life, helps you stay strong enough to cope with the challenges that come along.

Thankyou to whoever wrote this. We are grateful to you for sharing and talking about an issue that is rarely discussed by our society. 🌸

2016, three years back, it was my grand father’s death and a new dark world for me.
Hopelessness, uselessness and depression everywhere. I felt that there is nothing to live for in this world, no purpose of spending life and everything has ended. I found negativity in everything. I suffered from intense depression. I was 16 at that time and had to start my academic career of FSc pre-medical. Stress of studies at one hand and my physical and psychological condition at the other. However, my father, being a doctor, guaged my condition and took me to a psychiatrist. He prescribed me some medicine which I am still using
Although, I was unable to get admission in government medical college, but today where I stand is the place I have wished for since I am struggling with mental illness. I am doing psychology from Punjab University and have recently done first semester with 4 GPA.
I won’t say that I am spending a normal and healthy life but I won’t even say that I am spending a miserable and useless life. If you ever suffer from stress, depression and anxiety, do share it with your parents and do consult psychologist or psychiatrist just like as we consult physicians for any other disease. We can manage such problems just like we can manage diabetes or any other malady.
I won’t say that we can totally cure it but we can manage it for sure. However, first we have to accept it as it is the first step towards treatment. Get up, fight with yourself, speak out, make your weakness your strength and rule yourself.
Thankyou so much sharing your struggle with us. More power to you.💓

I Know what it's like to be afraid of your mind ; I know how much strength is required to face the Storm inside you!!
You all know broken crayons still colour, Same is with the people who hide their pain with a big fat smile. You don't know what is going through in their mind , you keep on blaming them for not showing up not been vocal to them , but you never tried to hold their hand give a pat on their back and ask them what happened to them what is bothering them but no you are modern people with Orthodox mindset who will support their children/friend/ siblings in every activity but will not help them to reach a psychiatrist!
2013 was the year when I came to know I suffer from panic and anxiety disorder which is basically an abrupt onset of intense fear and discomfort which reaches it's peak within seconds and takes hours to become normal. During this attack I have severe sensations of shortness of breath, palpations , cramping in limbs , nausea and feeling of dying next moment.
I used to suffer since childhood, my parents took me to the best paediatrician who carried out all tests include EEG but everything was normal. They thought maybe I was weak at that that's why it's happening. When I entered my teens, panic attacks number was increased with level reaching 4-6 per week . My parents took me to our family doctor but the idea to Take me to a psychiatrist never hit their mind! Whenever I used to be under influence of panic attack ; what I need at that time was a dark room with silence a bed onto which I can lay down and sleep so that my fatigued body can relax!
My mother was worried when she say my health deteriorating. I lost 5 kgs in 2 months . Frequent calls from school admin that why I was not coming to school 3 days a week were making her worried, these attacks we're disturbing her. She was not able to understand my behavior. Well , upon seeing that my all reports were clear but still I was suffering from pain ; one of mother friend told her that sheshould take me to a psychiatrist. My parents after having discussion over this idea took me a psychiatrist and then I came to know I suffer from panic disorder!
The psychiatrist after listening to my whole story told me that my condition is curable and it was true. By taking proper medication I got better
Now the point was that I had to tell everyone that I fought against my odds but due to society norms it was a sin to talk about mental health issues because In our society a person who visits a psychiatrist is mentally re****ed or abnormal! Parents don't let their children speak up about this because they are afraid that people will make mock at them , they are afraid of the insult , they are afraid that their children will not get a good proposal to get married off . Whenever I used to take my antianxiety medicine my mother used to tell me to not talk about this with any of your friends or family people , but I did opposite of it, I talked about this , I talked about my victory, I talked about my suffering so I can help others
From getting 4-5 panic attacks per week to 4-5 per month to 4-5 per year now ,it's all because of taking proper medication and opening up about my pain to the healer! It's a request to please consider depression, anxiety as important as you consider other diseases because it's a silent killer you don't know how much pain a person is suffering with a big fat smile on his/ her face !

Thankyou Roha for sharing your story with us! You are stronger than anyone else. 🌹💓
