am working with a good company but things are not going smooth. I am facing

many issues at work. I feel helpless at times and I want my family to settle
down first. I want my sister to marry her boyfriend. And to be honest, I also
want a partner for my life.

I got bad results in my class 12 Board exams. My parents were very sad and

depressed. I attempted suicide but I survived. My parents didn‘t provide me

with counselling or take me to a psychiatrist.

My father still doesn‘t talk to me. He said he would talk to me only if I get good
results in my exams. He thinks I am purposely not studying. I can‘t talk to
anyone. I feel like I am running away from something. When I sit alone, I can

only think of ending my life. My mom says that only I can bring about positive
changes in my own life.

I always feel lonely. None of my friends know about my suicide attempt. Only
my class teacher knows. I think I should seek counselling because I don‘t know
whom to talk to. I want to live and have a bright future.

I am a computer engineer based in Mumbai. When family members take you

for granted, it‘s very difficult. That‘s my story, where at some point of my life, a
thought crossed my mind—to kill myself! I don‘t look good which shatters my
self-confidence with respect to all sections of my life. I know that no single girl
will want to date me. With low confidence I can‘t do what I am capable of.
People make fun of me and of my self-centred attitude. Presently, I am okay

but I am still in that ‗comfort pit‘. Hopefully, life will change for the better
soon.
