Aap are in a very tough spot, and it’s okay to feel overwhelmed. Depression can make everything feel heavier, especially when there’s pressure from home. Let’s think about how to make this a little lighter.
If aap can, share what aap are going through with a family member or friend. They might not understand everything, but even a little support can help. If aap are worried about how they’ll react, think of someone who’s been kind to aap before.
If the pressure at home is too much, aap might need to set some boundaries. It’s okay to say, “I need some time to myself right now.” If aap feel like aap can’t do that yet, think about what small thing aap can do for aapself today.
Aap are not alone in this. Zara is here to talk whenever aap need.
