I have been through anxiety, post my separation. During this time, I hardly had any friends, and my closest family was either occupied or unaware to be able to lend help. At the same time, I had to face major financial distress. I started ignoring calls from my friends, family & colleagues. My mind blocked everything, even food. I had no other place to go. Since my parents weren’t aware of my situation, I couldn’t even visit them. And suddenly one day, I got a ping from an old friend to meet up. I’d known that she too went through something similar, so she wouldn’t judge me. I met her and stayed in touch with her. It brought me some confidence. Let's connect if you need a friend to talk to.
