A bolt from the blue

After a whole day of posting stories and posts about mental health issue, that they are there for you, people are returning to their real self. I mean that the people posting stories and post about mental health and depression after Sushant Singh Rajput’s death are brilliant at doing hypocrisy but what amazes me is that their hypocrisy level is improving with every passing year.

How can these people even think that just by updating posts and stories on Instagram, Facebook, Twitter and WhatsApp people in distress will reach them out . If reaching out was that easy amazing people like Sushant would never have committed suicide.

People are ignorant to the fact that it’s difficult for people suffering from depression and anxiety to share their feelings and thoughts with others. They will only seek your help if they trust you and are comfortable sharing their suffering with them. How can they expect that their once in a blue moon social media stories about mental health will make them frank enough to share their feelings with you. A depressed person will only come to you if they are fully assured of the fact that no matter how ugly the situation gets they can rely on this person or this person will always be there for supporting their back.

The tragic death of Sushant Singh Rajput is a warning bell for all of us that we need to stop doing back bitching, stop demotivating a person because while we are doing all these things we really aren’t aware of the situation which the person in front of us is going through. We don’t know what his mental condition is or how he reacts to different situations. Everybody has a different approach to deal with negative things. Some might take it in a positive way, some might get affected and start feeling depressed, some might not be affected at all. We really don’t know how a person gonna react to the negativity which we are pouring on him/her by intent or unintentionally. So it’s always better to not force a person into any negative situation or suffering by one’s actions and words it won’t do any harm to us.

A year back no one would have ever thought that such a brilliant actor like him would end his life on such a sad note. The news of actor demise came to the countrymen as a bolt from the blue. A person who came from a non-filmy background who achieved such a high position in the film industry just with his sheer hard work and perseverance without the help of any godfather, left us so soon. It’s hard to believe that a person with such a bright future ahead lost his life to depression. What forced a person with such a infectious smile and innocent heart to take such a drastic step of ending his life is not known to anyone. What hurts the most is that a person with millions of fans around him didn’t found a single friend reliable to share his pain. Not a single person in his group circle got the warning message behind his different behaviour.

It can be said that he was destined to leave us so soon and it’s not always easy for the closed ones to know what a person is going through. How is that possible family and friends are there to help you out and lift you up, and if a person wasn’t able to share his feelings with you then there must have been some instances in the past when he has asked for your help and you would have just ignored his request.

I just pray and wish that he find a better place where he and his talents get as much acknowledgement as they deserve. SSR deserve a life much better than this and I hope he get one soon.

It’s high time we should realise that money has nothing to do with peace of mind and happiness as they come from the people around you and the things that really excites you. When a person with all sufficient means was forced to take such an action we need to get that straight that mental health is as important as physical health and we should start giving it as much attention it deserves.

Life is quite very unpredictable, you don’t know what is going to happen the very next moment, so it’s better to take care of people who really matters to you and at least help those who are around you, because your single positive effort can save and change someone’s life.
