Romantic relationships are where we bury ourselves emotionally into our partners. It gives us purpose and opportunity for most of us to grow and plant ourselves. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Handling romantic relationships was a relatively new experience for our warrior, Anurag (name changed). He is 24 years old and is pursuing his PhD from a national institute. Anurag grew up and spent most of his childhood and youth in Farakpur, West Bengal.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He moved to Delhi for his Post-graduation, and upon completion, he shifted to another city to pursue his PhD in Physics. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anurag has a mixture of activities he enjoys doing like reading, listening to music and playing badminton. Having been somebody who earnestly follows a routine and exercises, he prefers to be healthy and take good care of himself. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anurag elucidates how he was always an obedient student and would always concentrate in class. He maintains a disciplined and healthy life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, things altered for Anurag when he experienced his first flame of love. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

He speaks of the ups and downs he faced in his 12 months of relationship and how he has grown into the person he is today. <\/p>\n\n\n

“Everything sailed smoothly until my partner’s family figured out about our relationship. They pressured her to stop talking to me and wanted us to break up.”<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

This took a toll on Anurag’s mental health. He describes how the emotional turmoil he underwent affected him physically as well. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“I remember having suffered from indigestion and used to feel nauseous every time I pondered upon our memories together.”<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anurag sought therapy after his institution partnered with YourDOST. He believed he needed somebody to speak to who he could rely on. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

“I was insecure about my break-up and felt that disclosing it to everybody would leave me looking like a laughing stock.”<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

He was looking out for trustworthy people and this was when he met with his counselor Sharmili Ghosh. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Sharmili is a unique person and a very patient listener. She is also very compassionate and made me realise my emotions and from where they spurred” <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anurag described how before seeking therapy with YourDOST, he would cry and discuss with his handful of friends, who he most trusted.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

He feels it is always a gamble discussing our hardships with our friends. It can be misused leaving us hostile in most cases. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anurag mentions how making the right kind of friendship was essential for him to deal with his mental health. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anurag’s transformation was concrete as he says he is a better person now who is maturely handling his emotions. His pain has reduced drastically after conversing with his counselor. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

He is a more confident person now, especially after handling his break-up and wishes happiness and health for his ex-partner. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the bright side, Anurag’s situation has helped him identify a more calm, mature and confident version of himself. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

“My counselor Sharmili, suggested I jot down my thoughts in a journal and imagine myself sitting in front of her and just speaking things out in front of a mirror every time something got difficult.”\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

It helped Anurag revitalise his emotional energy and stay afloat with his mental health. <\/p>\n\n\n

\n

Hope is like the butterfly that hangs on to the horse’s back. It can take you far when you lay weak. The world needs hope and empathy for a brave new future. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anurag feels that he is more upfront with his emotions now. Anurag rated himself a 3.5 on 5 in terms of his progress and we know he is already on his path to betterment. <\/p>\n\n\n
