Why are even successful women, who seem to have achieved so much in life, still driven to take such a tragic step without sharing their pain with anyone? Many lives could be saved if fears, frustrations, and emotional burdens were opened up to trusted friends, family members, or professional counsellors. Seeking help is not a sign of weakness; it is often the first step toward finding hope, support, and a reason to keep moving forward.

Seeking help from professional counsellors is a taboo, at least in India. Those who would ask others to take help from professional counsellors, would not ask help from professional councellors themselves probably. Living with the stigma of being called mentally ill is scary, so we try to not expose us by visiting professional councellors.

And success is not a medicine to emotional pain. If someone really believe that what they are doing is really meaningful then only success can somewhat lessen emotional pain.

Also, a 22 year old girl is so young that she is not even supposed to know so much about professional counsellors.

And pain disturbs our mind so much that we don't understand what would really help us. We can not even express our pain properly, how will our near and dear ones understand? Also there is a saying, "How will someone, who has never been bitten by a snake, understand the pain of snakebite?" We may have suffered extreme pain ourselves, but still we will not understand the pain of another person if it is of different nature.

Some people also invalidate pain..."You are making a mountain out of molehill. I have tolerated so much pain and you can not even tolerate such a small pain!"

Wrote whatever came to my mind.

Yes, seeking professional help is a taboo in our society. You have raised some important points. Emotional pain is often invisible, and people struggling with it may not have the clarity, strength, or awareness to seek help, even when help is available. Social stigma around counselling and mental health can make reaching out even harder, especially for young people who may not fully understand what they are experiencing.

Pain is also deeply personal. What seems small to one person may feel overwhelming to another. Instead of comparing suffering or dismissing it, we should listen with empathy and offer support without judgment. Sometimes, a kind ear and genuine understanding can be the first step toward helping someone find hope again.
