Wait. What. WHAT.

Now I've read everything on IF & I've to frank- Am utterly gobsmacked & disgusted

This is why it is great that dP came. Forward with her foundation & IVs on depression /mental health. This is why people need to be fervently & hopefully very soon, be educated on depression & mental health.


And this is why there is no point in hiding & blaming or exonerating the victims of mental health because their dark places are just their own. No-one can know what it feels like or what an uphill BATTLE it is to function like a human being, forget function well. Yes, people who do function well are "strong." But what really is strength? The ability to never be weak or to be weak with the awareness of it & the tools to overcome said weakness?

Anyway, am getting into abstract territory because this post just... Has left me completely disturbed, which I anyway was after reading about this girl's suicide. This is another reason why I say there is no point in judging the workers of the glamour industry. They do absolutely anything to survive & they must- Otherwise the world will label them as "weak & mentally unfit" like this post has done.

This isn't related to the thread topic but I still wanted to say it.

It's really commendable of you for seeking medical attention yourself 👏 I know how difficult it must have been to do so without anyone's support since I come from a family that has had many members who suffered from mental health problems, but now you have survived that with your own will and gotten out of it.I don't know you but I am truly happy to see you have recovered from your depression and are moving forward. Hope you continue forth in life, facing any difficulties with the same will and desire to live. 😊

since when did humans find death acceptable?
never...so suicide or accident or even normal death is never acceptable..
what is nt acceptable is ego n being Judgemental ...
suicide is never a choice..its the last option retort left to the distressed..
n this last option arises in mind only when all ur hopes have died..
a hope to be loved..a hope to be cared for..a hope to be understood..
n a hope that there is someone out there who will miss u like hell if u
leave earth..n when a soul feels there is no eyes that will cry for her..
she then takes that decision to end her sorrowful miserable state of wretched
living...

so a suicide is nt the proof of a weak mind..rather its the proof of how we the friends
or relatives of the deceased are big failures..as we failed to convey to the departed
that hey i love u stay back hang on just for me...if nt for urself..

There are different circumstances when people commit suicide.

Sometimes they are forced.

Other times it is a choice of them taking their own lives. When they do not have to.

It's easy to say that suicide is for cowards or that there's only one precious life-don't take it. People who're emotionally disturbed, financially drained, with major health issues most times fall into depression with no one around to help them. Depression is easy to hide so only someone who's really close to the person can see and help. And sometimes the person himself tries to come out of it with medication, exercise and counseling.

I don't even feel like blaming the TM here. Sadly, there is no proper awareness in our country regarding depression or anxiety issues or any other mental illness. I sometimes struggle to make some elders of my family understand about these issues. Most of them dismiss such incidents as being 'weak' and refuse to understand the roots of the problem. People still think that chiding patients and asking them to grow a spine will help them get back to normal. People have no clue as to how to deal with depression. It's terrifying how ignorant we are regarding these things.

Therefore, I'm actually thankful to eminent personalities who come out and speak about such issues in the mainstream media. It helps spread awareness among the population and look at things in a slightly sensitive light, without being completely dismissive. I can't even begin to describe how important this is.

Self preservation is the most basic and the strongest instinct in a human ... Can you even imagine the hopelessness that the person is feeling to overcome this biological instinct ?


I don't think actors committing suicide glamourises it. its the opposite for me actually - it makes me realise that no matter how happy/ successful a person might look like, you never know what they are struggling with. So lets be a little kind to each other


And people who traumatise and abuse a person to such a dark point need to be held responsible for their actions too. They are not blameless. Mental abuse is far more devastating than physical abuse but sadly it is also more easily dismissed by saying the victim should have been stronger

It is really sad when one kills him/herself assuming it is their only option. Just try to imagine the state of a person's mind when they feel so utterly hopeless and left alone, and takes this drastic step to end their lives. They must have felt so lonely, hurt and scared too... Sometimes all you need is a little bit of help and hope to keep going

those who r forced are also forced into as they r no longer left with any other option..
like i know one of my neighbor..
a mid aged man ..
he had lot of loans on his head..
we of course did nt knew the details back then..
then money lenders came knocking at his door..
n next day we heard he had hung himself..
his family sold their house n went away..
so u see clearly when the man had hoped that thr is a hope to
stay alive another day he had stayed alive..bt the day he had felt he has no other
way out..he had no option bt to take his own life..

even the forced n the unforced see through breathes through the last sec..
when darkness engulfs the mind n even the tiniest light blows out then finally
death seems more friendly than life itself...

I don't know what happened in this case.

The TM mentioned Suraj Pancholi.

That case was investigated by the Indian police and American police as Jiah Khan was an American citizen.


I think Jiah mother also wanted the FBI involved.


Suraj would have been convicted by now if he was a murderer.
