She has been suicidal from that point onwards. I am trying my best to talk to

her but she doesn‘t talk to me. She has isolated herself from her friends and
other family members a long time ago. I am very scared about what she might
be doing when she is alone.

M y problem is that I feel anxious, nervous and suicidal. I feel like vomiting a

lot and sometimes all these feelings become overwhelming. I am trying my
best to keep busy but the pain is so unbearable. I want to live. Please God, give
me my life back. I want to spend time with my family and friends, but anxiety
and depression don‘t allow me to do that.

I n my childhood, I had faced severe humiliation. I was fat and I was unable to

pronounce some words properly. My voice remained childish and never
attained maturity. My friends used to mock me. I was very sensitive and
sometimes felt awkward and depressed while gazing at myself before a mirror.

But then I remembered that my parents showered love on me and many of my
friends liked me too. Soon, I had got answers to my depression. Today, I have

the most number of friends in my college and I‘m happy. I am currently an
engineering student in Tamil Nadu.
