Just a thought…
People insist you on opening up about your mental health issues. To talk about it, to seek therapy etc… Even though one prefers to seek therapy, each session costs around Rs.1-2k minimum. How can a middle class family afford to pay such huge amount for a single session. As you’ll can know it’s not like you take one session a month or so, to be OK… And what about poor people… Is the treatment to mental illness only for the rich?!
P.S : am only talking about therapy here. Not the psychiatric consultation.
I wrote this coz I just got references from Now and Me of three of the psychotherapists, all costing around 2-3k…how can one afford to take a weekly or bi-weekly counseling with that kind of prices. It feels like better to suffer silently than approach for help.
Any thoughts?!
Ummm dont know what to say man…but u can share your problems with me if you want to…past week I was also going through so much but I make myself calm by my own…so if you want any help…i am here only
Can u please explain it little broadly?? So that i can talk about this to my cousin…he is a psychiatrist
Earlier I use to try to calm myself down… But now I have a high functioning anxiety and I feel like my heart is gonna explode… All the time… Anti-anxiety meds are not much of a help…
I lost my dad 3 weeks ago… I’ve had anxiety issues earlier but this is been very uncontrollable thing to me… It’s scary at night. I feel suffocated at night and my chest feels heavy most of the time. I’m on meds but sleeping is scary… My dreams are filled with whatever happened on his last rites. It haunts me a lot.
Will surely discuss ur problem with him
I’ve been continously taking care of him for past 1 year now… He needed taking care at night… So I used to be awake all night and he used to be awake too… Now all of a sudden it’s all empty, all gone and is shit scary… Earlier I used to paint at night while I tend to his needs. Now I can’t do anything… Not even watch any TV series… It’s that suffocating…
He passed away in my own arms. I just can’t get past that face of his. All those last rites rituals haunt me a lot.
I’m sorry for so many replies but I felt like venting it out… Sorry.
U know I lost my best friend
year ago I was also having anxiety and u know I also felt like she is calling my name…whenever I try to sleep her face used to come in front of my eyes…I started getting scared by her name only thn at that time my brother told me to take a long, deep breath. Stop what you’re doing, and find a quiet place to re-center yourself. Remove yourself from the stressful situation. Focus on the slow, steady rhythm of your breathing. If you can’t easily calm yourself down, try to distract yourself with things that set your mind at ease: listen to your favorite song, or take a warm bath, or go for a run. Above all, remember that this moment will pass. Calm will return in time hope this can help u a little till I talk about u to him
It’s all fine u can talk to me any time and anything…and I cant even think what u are going through.i know it’s hard but please try to be strong for ur mom atleast…i know yourself are a strong man
Am a dad’s pet daughter btw…
These lockdowns have been aggravating everything…
There are psychologists who provide it for lesser prices. I dont remember the mame but had seen a post on Instagram. Will try to find it and if i do, i’ll share the names here.
Thank you… It would be of great help!
