Pravesh is a student at IIT Kharagpur and holds a Master’s degree in law. He belongs to a family of 5 and expressed that growing up in his childhood was difficult.
“Home was okay, however, but there was this constant pressure that I felt to have to perform well and do good in my studies. He did not have a great childhood as there was constant pressure at home to perform well in his education and this affected his mental peace.”
Pravesh was raised with a mix of strictness and love and that helped him form the personality that he is today.

He expressed that he joined a coaching centre to clear his exams and it took some time to settle and soak in the new surroundings. It was a new beginning for him. Some life incidents happen for good reason and some leave you with life lessons.
“I came across different kinds of people in the coaching centre. I started to see someone and it was my first ever relationship, so I invested a lot of my emotions and feelings into it.”
The relationship Pravesh was in was not fruitful and his partner wanted to break it off this broke him and triggered a lot of his insecurities as the reasons were not valid considering the duration of the relationship.
“I was entangled in the loop of thoughts, and I used to get anxious. It persisted until I chose to take some action.”
Post his ill relationship, Pravesh was determined about what he looked for in a romantic partner. he understood sooner or later that, he needs to maintain a certain level of boundaries with the people he meets from now onwards.
Pravesh is glad that his college has partnered up with YourDOST to provide counseling services to college students and address the issue of mental health.
