I went through a time where I felt completely lost—disconnected, numb, and overwhelmed. One night, everything crashed and I broke down. That moment forced me to face what I’d been avoiding.The next day, I took a walk—just one small step. Then another. I opened up, let people in, and slowly found my way back.I didn’t heal overnight, but I did heal. And I’m still here—stronger, wiser, and more myself than ever.

I loved Prithvi deeply, even across cities, time zones, and endless late-night calls. At first, the distance didn’t scare me — we promised to make it work. But slowly, I found myself fighting alone. Messages became shorter, calls turned into silence, and Prithvi’s heart felt miles further than his body ever was. Whenever I tried to share my fears, he brushed them off with, "You're overthinking." I craved connection; he offered empty reassurances. I sent long paragraphs explaining my feelings; he replied with a single line. Over time, I realized I wasn’t being loved, just tolerated. The worst part wasn’t the distance — it was the loneliness I felt even when he answered my call.One evening, staring at another unread message, I made the hardest choice: to let go of the love I kept begging for. It broke my heart to leave, but it broke my soul to stay. The lesson was painful but clear — love should feel like home, not a battlefield for attention. Walking away wasn’t weakness; it was choosing myself for the first time. I learned that someone emotionally unavailable couldn’t meet a heart ready for real love. And healing, I realized, starts with good bye.

As the eldest among my siblings, I chose to honor my parents' wishes and got married, even though my dream was to pursue a master's degree. I sacrificed my aspiration for higher education, and after marriage, I faced significant financial challenges. Becoming a mother made it even more difficult to step into a professional role. Yet, despite the obstacles, I never lost hope. I kept trying, stayed resilient, and continued to manage myself with strength and determination.

There was a time when everything in my life felt like it was slipping through my fingers. Family disputes, friends drifted apart, I questioned my worth constantly — was I enough? I fought silent battles every day, battles no one else could see. But somewhere deep inside, a tiny part of me refused to give up. It wasn’t dramatic. It was small: showing up for one more interview, replying to one more message, learning one more new skill, taking one more deep breath when the anxiety became too much. Healing didn’t happen overnight. It’s still happening. But I’ve learned that struggle doesn’t mean defeat — it means you’re still fighting.

There was a time when I felt completely lost—caught in the heavy fog of depression. Each day felt like a mountain to climb, and even getting out of bed felt like a battle. The world outside moved fast, but inside, everything stood still. My friends didn’t notice, and I couldn’t find the words to explain what I was going through. But deep within me, I held on to a quiet dream—a life filled with peace, purpose, and meaning. It wasn’t about success in the way others saw it; it was about feeling alive again. So, step by step, I fought back. Some days meant just breathing through the pain. Other days meant writing, walking, or reaching out—tiny wins that became the building blocks of my healing. The journey wasn’t linear, and the darkness didn’t vanish overnight. But I never gave up. Today, I stand not as someone who escaped the storm, but as someone who learned to dance in the rain. The dream that once felt so distant is now my reality: I wake up with hope, strength, and pride in the fight it took to get here. I’m living proof—healing is possible, and even the quietest dreams can come true.

A few years ago, I went through some of the hardest times of my life. Both my parents passed away within a short span of time, and the grief and trauma from it left me feeling broken, unsafe, anxious, and disconnected from myself. At the same time, I was also facing multiple health issues - Endometriosis, high blood pressure, anemia, high sugar levels, and chronic inflammation. I also struggled with suicidal thoughts during that time, feeling like there was no way out. At first, I felt overwhelmed and lost. I reached out to life coaches and healers for support. That decision changed my life. Through somatic healing tools, nervous system regulation, and working on my mindset and self-concept, I began to heal and get better. I learned to sit with my emotions, to listen to my body with kindness, and to rebuild my inner safety. Healing didn’t happen overnight. It was a gentle, day-by-day process of coming back to my body, creating safety within, and reprogramming the way I saw myself and my life. Today, I am in a much stronger place, physically, emotionally, and mentally and I feel called to hold space for others who are on their own healing journeys. As a Life Coach, I now hold space for others with the same compassion I learned to hold for myself - because I truly believe healing is possible, even from the deepest pain.

In the past I've had a few relationships and they didn't work out so well for me, but I always had my friends support to help me go through it. But in my recent breakup, after a really serious commitment, I was left alone. And this was a situation where I couldn't blame anyone but only the circumstances, I would admit that when I was in this commitment I thought ' if this doesn't work out, i won't be able to go through with it', and yes, initially it felt that way too. With almost no friends to talk to, and this avalanche of emotions flowing, it felt just too hard. I tried the blame game but it didn't work, distractions didn't work, what worked was patience. To let time heal myself, giving myself the space to heal, and letting go. So, yes if you think this would be impossible for you, to overcome or handle, keep in mind the only way out of hell is through.

My friend was very sad after a breakup. She cried a lot and didn’t want to talk to anyone. I stayed by her side, listened to her, and reminded her how strong she is. We went on walks, watched movies, and talked about happy memories. Slowly, she started smiling again. I told her that life has many beautiful moments ahead. She began doing things she loved again, like painting and meeting friends. Now, she is happy, confident, and full of life. She always says, “Thank you for being there.” I’m proud I could help her heal and grow strong again.

I've faced anxiety in the past, which sometimes felt overwhelming. There were times when worries about the future or regrets about the past consumed me. It was like carrying a weight that I couldn't shake off. One day, I realized I needed help. I started talking to friends, family, and even a therapist. Sharing my feelings and concerns with people I trusted helped me feel heard and understood. Through my journey, I learned various coping mechanisms. I started practicing mindfulness, meditation, and journaling. These tools helped me stay present and manage my anxiety. Over time, I became more resilient.

Just like everyone, life has taught me powerful lessons. Growing up in a joint family of 22, I was the eldest granddaughter—maturity came early. I faced body-shaming as a child, cried often, but slowly learned to love myself. Today, I see a queen in the mirror. I’ve seen my parents struggle, their arguments broke my heart. But with time and understanding, I helped them rebuild their bond. I also fell in love once—it lasted 8 years but drained me emotionally and financially. When my father had a heart attack in 2022, I chose to walk away and agreed to an arranged marriage. Starting over was tough. My husband and I are very different, and his family was hard to adjust to. But patience, communication, and love changed everything. Now, I feel peace and happiness. Every challenge shaped me. I’ve grown stronger, wiser, and more positive. So, thank you, life. Thank you, Universe. I still love you—and I always will.

The unspoken words, the lingering questions, the guilt that gnawed at my heart . I started my life with patience, support and hope. I realised I am stronger than I thought. I overcame such hardship, so I will help you too.

Last year, my closest friend sank into a quiet darkness. She stopped laughing, answering calls, and even getting out of bed. I knew I couldn’t fix everything, but I could be there. I visited her daily, brought her meals, listened without judgment, and reminded her of who she was before the weight of sadness took over. Slowly, through shared silences and small victories, she found her way back. Seeing her smile again was like watching the sun rise after a long night. That experience taught me that no one should face their battles alone. And now, I’m here for you too. Whether you need someone to talk to, sit with, or just remind you that you matter—I'm here. You’re not alone, and you never have to be. Healing takes time, but step by step, we’ll walk through this together.
