M ain ek aise ghar se hoon jahaan din-raat pooja-archana hoti hai. Hamare

bachchon ne kabhi madira ya kisi aisi cheez ko haath nahi lagaya. Hamare
bachchon ke bigadne ka darr hamesha rehta hai kyunki kabhi-kabhi
rishtedaaron ke bachche bhi ghar aate hai. Mere husband ko bachchon ki
parvah nahi hai aur sirf Bhagwan ke dhyaan mein magan hote hai. Mujhe in

sab chinta se depression ho gaya hai aur bahut cheezon ka darr nahi ja raha
hai. Mujhe raat ko neend bhi nahi aati.

M y elder brother is very short-tempered and he even hits our mom if his

anger goes beyond a boundary. Since my childhood, I have been dealing with

this. My dad‘s health remains unstable and I have to be strong for his sake. I
am broken completely from the inside. Every day, I think ki aaj kya tamasha
hoga. I can relate to all those who struggle with depression and stress. I don‘t

know what I should do. Today, I am able to stand strong for my dad but what
if I just can‘t some day? My friends know about this, but things have been so
bad ki ab yeh cheez share karne se bhi mann halka nahi hota. I don‘t want to
give up but I don‘t know how to hold on.
