day. He smokes a lot and is very moody about food too. He doesn‘t eat for

many days and is always tense.

Since the last six months, he has become very violent and our life is becoming
hell. He also doesn‘t listen to us when we tell him to consult a good mental
health institute in Delhi. He used a knife to frighten my mother and younger

brother. We are very much depressed now and have even contemplated
suicide.

My father had a major heart attack 11 years ago and his health is
not very good. My mother is suffering from high blood pressure. My brother is
not even ready to step out of the house to go for a consultation.

M aine bhi ek baar suicide attempt kiya tha. But it is my good luck that my

mother‘s love changed my mind. My advice to youngsters going through a
tough time is that if you feel like committing suicide, apni chaaron taraf ki
duniya dekh lena. Jis problem ki wajah se aap suicide karna chahte ho, uska
solution nikal sakta hai. Jo ek soch ya incident aap mein suicide karne ki

chaah jaga sakta hai, uske saamne bahut saare reasons honge jeene ke liye.

Y our episode has changed my mind. I no longer want to commit suicide. I

have realised that I need help and I will seek counselling. I wish to do
something for people who feel suicidal and depressed.
