Pain is real. The loss, the distance, the silence where a voice used to be: real, and not optional.

But suffering? That's the story we build on top of it. The resistance. The why me. The first arrow lands once; we're the ones who throw the second, again and again.

This is the first of the from .com — on suffering, stillness, and the light that was never lost. Swipe through, and if it lands, sit with it a while. 🔗 in bio.

Some days, staying is the bravest thing a person can do.

World Su***de Prevention Day isn't just about awareness, it's about presence. About noticing the friend who's gone quiet. About asking twice, because the first "I'm fine" isn't always true. About making it okay to not be okay.

If you're struggling, please know, you don't have to carry it alone. Reach out to someone you trust, a helpline, or a professional. Healing starts with one conversation.

📞 If you or someone you know is in crisis, reach out to a helpline near you, or connect with us, we're here to listen.

Su***de is preventable. Here's what actually helps. 🕊️

Asking someone if they're okay — really okay — doesn't put ideas in their head. It opens a door they might be waiting for someone to knock on.

Swipe through for the signs, the myths, and what to say instead of "don't think like that."

If you or someone you know is struggling right now, please reach out:

You're allowed to reach out before it becomes an emergency. We're here.

Our Founder, Vikram Beri, has shared a deeply personal part of his journey.

On December 6, 2025, Vikram experienced a manic episode that led to a freak accident, an arrest and 77 days in confinement, followed by a diagnosis of bipolar depression.

What he found during those 77 days was unexpected: an opportunity to turn inward, reflect and experience a sense of calm and awareness he had never known before.

Vikram has chosen to share his experience openly, in the hope that it may help someone who is going through a difficult chapter of their own.

Stop comparing your behind-the-scenes to everyone else's highlight reel. 🌿 Social media comparison is real — and it's quietly draining your mental health and self-esteem. Log off, come back to yourself.

This Raksha Bandhan, tie one on yourself too.

You've spent years protecting everyone else — showing up, holding space, being calm in their storm. But somewhere in all that giving, when did you last ask what you need protecting from?

Deadlines that don't stop. Guilt for resting. The habit of putting yourself last on your own list.

This year, let the thread on your wrist mean something for you too. A reminder that your peace isn't optional — it's the first thing worth protecting.

Because you can't keep pouring from an empty cup. 🧵

Your wellbeing matters too — book a session for yourself this Rakhi.

“Therapy is only for people who are struggling.”
“I should be able to handle it myself.”
“My problems aren’t big enough.”
“I’m not ready for therapy.”

We’ve heard these things so often that sometimes, we start believing them.

But the truth is—you don’t have to wait until you’re at your lowest to ask for support. You don’t need to have everything figured out. And you don’t need to prove that your feelings are “bad enough” to deserve help. 💛

Therapy isn’t about fixing what’s wrong with you.
It’s about creating a safe space to understand yourself, your feelings, and what you need.

Maybe it’s time to unlearn what you’ve heard about therapy.

True independence isn't just a date on the calendar — it's the freedom to say 'I'm not okay' without flinching. It's therapy without shame. It's rest without guilt. This Independence Day, let's talk about the freedoms we still need to win — starting with our minds.

🇮🇳

Be proud of yourself.
You showed up. You tried. You're still here.
That makes you the best. 💛

You've tried the sleep hygiene checklist. Dark room, no phone, chamomile tea — and you're still staring at the ceiling.

That's because the real reasons you can't sleep aren't the obvious ones. They're the mental leftovers of your day — the to-do list, the stress, the erratic clock — quietly keeping your body "on."

Swipe through for what's actually happening → and one small shift for each.

Struggling with sleep that won't switch off? Talk to a counsellor who gets it. Link in bio.
