[@hrishikeshdeshmukh1351]

At the age of 21, i portrayed myself as a CA and was planning to attend MBA college till the age of 23. At mid 21, few bad things happened and i was in severe depression till the age of 24. Tried medical consultation but not all the things worked at full extent. But now when I'm turning 25 in next 2 months and hasn't really achieved anything in the last 4 years, I'm still more satisfied than when i was 21 year old and when i had everything a person should have. Once you learned living life in your way, i guess hardly anything matters ❤

[@uzair6984]

The feeling of not having someone at the end of the day is the worst while you see people around you being fun with their friends and loved ones. Its not a jealousy but you keep thinking " Why am I so alone ? Why I don't have someone to share my day and feelings ? " But at some point of time we realise that we have ourselves and to look out for our own mental health is our no.1 priority.

[@Jyotea_]

Even our parents didn't understand our feelings and continuously blaming us . I'm a person who always gets negative thoughts about my life my family and other things . I can't even focus on anything. I really appreciate that you are so brave to come out with this video . Carrier and family is our main priority and our negative imaginary thoughts don't let us survive in this world . We can't feel happiness.

Hi Shweta Ma'am, First of all, it's so brave of you to be vulnerable and emotionally naked on a public platform, it requires a hell lot of courage. As much as your smiles and supporting words are worth it, your vulnerability deserves all the love from your (youtube) family too. I'm glad you took this step to show so many people here that they can do the same. I hear you, i see you, i recognise you and you matter. And at the end what's echoing in my mind are your words "You matter."

I can relate to you!! I got into SRCC ..my dream college...and I thought everything would go well since I reached my first milestone...but I was wrong...even after achieving it ,I felt worthless and started comparing myself with the other students and I still think that it's quite difficult to survive in such a competitive environment...and I always felt the absence of guidance in my life .... especially when I see my fellow batchmates..how they are achieving such great things...and I'm not even able to figure out what I want to do in life

[@adeshgatule4722]

I've also experienced depression, and I want to share that I found true happiness and purpose by focusing on my own mental health. While success and relationships have their place, it's essential to remember that ultimately, it's up to us to work on our well-being. For me, embracing spirituality and practicing Krsna bhakti has been transformative. It's given me a deep sense of satisfaction and inner peace. I'd like to recommend exploring the Bhagavad Gita for those searching for meaning in life. To anyone struggling with depression, my heartfelt sympathy goes out to you, and I encourage you to explore different paths, like Krsna consciousness, and find what works best for you on your journey to healing. Hare Krsna 🙏

In between class 12 to 1st year of college I went through the such phases. My school principal and teachers used to harrash me because of my poor marks, everyday they threaten me with parents teacher meeting. My father had high bp and hamerage . It hampered my neet ug exam too. But fortunately Sadhguru's inner engineering helped me. Now, I have bigger ambition in life sadhana, and all these careers, life is like game for me now. I play well without fear still with 100% involvement. During advance program called BSP in isha, all my pains got washed away now I am a free soul. While listening to you tears were rolling down and I felt very happy for your brave step to open up. ❤️

[@DarshSaraf]

I completely agree with you. When I had completed my 12th grade, I suffered this. I was just watching 2 States again and again and listening to the "Man Mast Magan" song. Bus main IIT ka naam dhorahata rahta tha. Since 2018 I have been involved with the Isha Yoga Centre in Coimbatore and completed some advanced yoga programs. I feel more confident and in a positive frame of mind than before. I don't know whether I have completely come out of it but I am really thankful to my guru that he has given me a new lease of life. I never knew life could be this blissful. Thank you so much for sharing Shweta ji :) I am for preparing MBA exams and your content is extremely helpful.

[@harshadeshpande8364]

Hey, Can you tell me more about the isha program, I wanted to go for the online inner engineering course and later on maybe a hands on session at isha but I am not from coimbatore , Could you advice on the same please , I went through same or I would say goijg through, till 11th I had little idea of what jee was and suddenly in 12th I was in a coaching centre preparing for it. I still regret it yes even after 4 years what if I had pushed a little harder what if I put more effort atleast NIT I would have gotten. You know I didn't even appear for my 2nd jee attempt I just couldn't make myself to go I am sure it hurt my parents who put so much effort taking me to tution paying fees but they never said a word , I got admission in an engineering college for cse through local state exam and i don't even have intrest in this field , but still that jee pain remains in built

[@sumitisokay]

I can feel you. Earlier I used to feel the same .I had anxiety , depression and was into bad addictions .Later on it got severe and I got a panic attack 3 years back. I tried every medication but it didn't worked out. Then I got to know about meditation and mindfulness. I was waking at 4am everyday and practiced meditation and added to my routine + cold showers + fruit diet + yoga + celibacy. Following all this my life has transformed completely and I'm proud of that fact. And one more important thing that I've realized is that the real source of happiness is from within. Much love to you sister💌

It's been 3 years and I'm going through the same thing. DEPRESSION. I feel like I've tried everything but just cannot come out of its grasp. I feel like I'm doing fine now and suddenly this wave of sadness, an overwhelming feeling, like a very dark cloud resides on me and I can't help but feel it all. Because if I don't feel it, it comes back stronger and I get knocked out for weeks. No one understands really and I think no one can ever. I just wanna say that your video made a huge difference. I am going through a tough time and I don't know why but it felt like you understand, you heard me. After all the shouting I've been doing for someone to just acknowledge me, you finally heard me. YOU FINALLY SAID "YOU MATTER". It really does! AND YOU MATTER TOO.

I understand everything you said , I am going through depression myself but the thing is I dont have anyone to share with I have been alone amogst my friends as sometimes I feel left out (almost everytime). I feel very bad when I am alone around group of people and these things I cant share at home which makes it difficult to find people to share things with. I am letting these things out in comments becoz I guess this is the only place where people wont judge as everyone here is a stranger to me and I just wanted to let my things out. I dontt even know if I spoke correctly in this comment so ignore grammar and everything just last thing to say is PLEASE DONT LET YOUR FRIENDS FEEL LEFTOUT. The worst thing is making people feel leftout.

7 years ago I was in depression, it was so severe that I wanted to end my life. Nobody knew about it for years. But I bounced back. I feel that way every now and then but then gather myself up again. This feeling of not having someone eats me up at times. And also the academic pressure. I've learnt to live with it at this point. Anyways, You're amazing shweta. And the fact that you decided to talk about it is so inspiring. You radiate so much positivity! And many of us students are so grateful to you. Take care of yourself dear shweta. There is light at the end, at a place called home :)🕯

I know exactly how a 'small' thing like not making to the dream college can trigger worse things , especially when it is the first blatant rejection you face in your life. It can get so much worse that your brain kind of gets wired to think that good things won't even come again.

My behavior and feelings during that time can't get validated any better than this. Thank you!

You are a true inspiration to me. We go through these tough phases alone and genuinely no one neither understands us nor we are able to express anything to anyone, its just are thoughts that harm us in such a way that we aren't able to process stuff. There have been days where I used to just sit idle looking at the walls and never had energy to do anything productive for my own self. I have been going through moderate to severe depression too and honestly no one knows about it. It just ourselves who know what is going in our mind, we want to be productive but we cant do anything. Also due to this moderate to severe depression phase I cant even remember stuff. I have been facing this issue from October 2022 but since February it got a little worse and with that time I decided I cant waste my life like this I joined an online coaching for cat ,watched your videos and your smile it was so motivating and fulfilling it gave that motivation to study hard. The hard work and research you did for your KZbin videos is remarkable. I know it had been a tough phase for you and we can't even share it with anyone because actually no one would understand. You are a true hero that you had this courage to share this publicly. Lots of love and strength to you didi. You are amazing. I am always there for you,whenever you need me.

[@dhruvkhare235]

I can truely feel the fight you have been fighting. I can just so much relate to your wound of not getting into that dream college of yours. Coming from a 18year old who still is in a very great place and around the best of surroundings, the society would only call him immature and childlike for his cries. I have the best of family and friends, been an ardent student from the beginning where I haven't seen failures or compromises. All these years made me fond of valedications and praises and being the talk of everyone. But failing at such a stage and compromising for something which was never my dream, still makes me toss and turn during my sleeps. I have developed this innate hesitation towards any fun activity, cause I simply feel I don't deserve it. Every one from my family and friends and people around me are so proud and happy to see me, but its just me who has this feeling that I have let down myself. And honestly its not just a college but a series of events and actions which make me think so hard. The most lively people have the harshest of battles. Self-doubt and depression exists for all levels of people. I hope you have the strength.

[@architapatnaik687]

Shweta, let me put this way, 8 years of my life 2015 to 2022, what i sliently went through (becoz of my abusive relationship, finally accepted that it was always an one sided from my end) , you put it out so honestly. Each and every words of yours is true. My surroundings, they didnot even understand what i went though, it took me time to make them understand my pain and suffering. Finally some people understood.

Thank you so so so much for bringing this topic on your channel and talking about it. ❤ As a survivor of this ugly and dark thing, let me tell you, i finally able to pull myself out of it. Sadhguru, bk shivani, Acharya prashant, guru gopal das , they have all helped me to heal myself. Today i am totally a different person and as you said, life is more beautiful and meaningful to me now.

A part of it still affects me when I’m preparing for my MBA this year. For someone to come out and say that I’m not the only one who’s going through this and and it is not something “wrong” means a lot.

I literally had tears in my eyes when you cried in between. It is very disheartening to hear that you had to go through it. Really great that you came up with this video to give strengths to all those who are suffering from it. What I feel is the biggest factors contributing to anything that disturbs a person is comparison and having expectations. When we compare ourselves to what others have or achieved, it leads to self doubt, demotivation. While having expectations and when any such unreasonable expectations didn't get fulfilled, we feel sad. Being a student myself, I've experienced that a lot, still experiencing and even though I've stated these factors above, I myself don't know how to stay away from them. Even I feel less worthy, demotivated and left out at times and can't understand what to do. Even who is reading this comment and can relate to it, anyone who has gone through it, I would request you to pls provide some ways how you've copied or coping and let's all support each other in it!

Sending you big huggs not out of sympathy but empathy. Having been so close to a special person who dealt with depression,I really wish people be more sensible and empathetic towards everyone in general. Also its much needed for people to learn that it is chemical imbalance in hormones at times which leads to depression,there is no self fault of the person who is going through it. They are not enjoying being depressed. Kudos to you coming up and explaining all the things so calmly even though it might have triggered you so many times repeating all things. Much love❤️

[@Asha_sreeram]

Hey Shweta you are not alone even I have struggled through depression for 7 years and It is a true story every bit of it and I have followed you since last year the fact that you are good at what your doing is because you are very relatable to all of us out there, more then ever I really am happy there is a content creator out there such as you especially for education and career

[@2ndaccount433]

I wish I had even 10% of the courage that you have Ma'am. Recently I was in two minds weather to disclose my inner thoughts/ideas/beliefs/Truth to the ones who were associated with me. Sadly I couldn't. I had mentally prepared a long speech/monologue as to how I was going to reveal it all, But on the 11th hour I consulted a couple my acquaintances. They warned me against doing it. I obliged. You are truly a very brave Human Being Ma'am. Thank you for existing.

[@jasminakamdar5258]

I cannot express into words how much I've related to each word that you said. Everything that you said hit me so badly that i couldn't stop myself crying. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SHARING THIS. REALLY NOBODY AROUND US UNDERSTANDS WHAT WE GO THROUGH AND TAKES DEPRESSION AS A JOKE.

[@tanvikothari-tb7sn]

That was indeed pretty brave of you! Keep growing and hoping for happiness and success in your life!!

[@gaurichakradeve]

Shweta Arora, you've been such an inspiration for me can't see you crying like that!! Hope you get over this soon! You're really one of the best people I know and I admire to be like you❤❤

[@shreyashreya9384]

You are so right, each word is so relatable. Sending you best wishes for healing 🌼 More power to you 🤗 You are doing a great job , the way you are handling your health concerns, and running this channel sincerely. Keep rising and keep shining 🌟

[@aryansarate7855]

thanks for making such a video , at some point we do feel depressed and lonely ,and seeing people like you who motivates us , basically you ,you are just awesome just wanna say thankyou once again!!❤

[@urvibaheti6958]

It takes so much courage to come up and speak about mental health and that too about your personal experiences, I truly appreciate it. We need to open up, speak up, and do everything possible to create awareness. let's be a society safe and fair for everyone .

[@buza998]

The last lines you said moved me. It made me realize that whatever pressure I'm putting on myself to fulfill the expectations of others from me, isn't worth it. I never asked myself "what about me?". I thought clearing an exam would give me that life I'm looking for, I was wrong. You came as an example. I think I needed this video, thank you for making this video.

[@thetimelapses2228]

us bro us

[@simranha4550]

Had me crying throughout the video. You are extremely brave Shweta and you deserve all the love and care ❤

[@abharaj2736]

Tears just rolled down my eyes when you told "you do matter" Cannot explain how much relatable this video is for me. I hope to come out of this phase very soon

[@noimisha]

I was almost shocked to see a video with this title from a channel like yours. Least expected. I clicked on the video knowing I’d most likely break down while watching it. And it did happen. It’s crazy how something always pops up in my life at times when I need them the most. This video was one such thing. Thank you for sharing something which very few people has the ability to understand. Thank you.

[@padalaharshitagoud3621]

It takes a lot of guts to admit it publicly. Kudos. Acceptance is the first step. Just like nothing lasts forever. You'll come out of this much stronger and more beautiful. More power to you sis

[@brianivle3844]

It's an anonymous Id and just want to tell you that recently, I've gone through the same phase, academic struggle, family issues, criticised at my club responsibilities publicly, unable to focus on my dream properly, travel exhaustion and the list goes on and on. Shweta, sometimes I feel you don't need advice from someone, you seek for emotional support in these times exactly the thing you've mentioned about. Thanks for providing me the platform where I could express myself❤

[@harshdhoot4106]

Really felt relieved after watching this video. Thanks to you, who have addressed on this sensitive topic, really this condition is ruining, you have erected a support pillar within by your words. Thanks a lot...

[@muskanlalwani455]

I literally got goosebumps!!!!!! Sending love and power to you, girl. You have a really long long way to go ahead!

[@aditeyasumith9132]

Crazy to see how much positivity you have spread around despite of struggling with such an immense condition! More strength & power to you Ma'am! A true inspiration!

[@raishikhar]

Hi My sister is going through the depression phase from last 3 years. I was able to totally relate to words you were sharing in this video. A lot of sensitisation is required for the mental health. This issue has increased in our generation due to different reasons. What I understood it basically revolves around one’s own perception about themselves. Sometimes we don’t have to be too harsh on ourselves. I hope everyone who is reading my comment understands that you are precious and unique. Stay positive and consult a confidant regarding your issues. Just let is out. Dont keep it your ❤

[@indiamoneywise]

I understand how difficult it is to handle these issues, salute to your courage you came forward and discussed here..I wish people get more and more awareness about these issue and whoever suffering from this get help. 👍

[@pranjal287]

You earned a new subscriber dear! ❤ It's my first video I watched from your channel, and trust me I did feel your pain. Although I don't think I'm depressed but I do feel misundersood, unheard, unloved, inferior due to my facial features and so much more. I was able to relate much. But I do have Hope and life is colourful when I'm by myself, social gatherings makes me insecure and anxious. But I'm trying to love myself more and more each day. Some days I feel less worthy but time passes so does the phase of sadness. And just want to say Thank you for sharing this dark secret of yours, it gave me even more hope💗 stay strong!

[@anya2359]

You're very strong Shweta Di. Not for just fighting depression but publicly expressing it too. It really requires certain level of vulnerability and trust to share your deepest thoughts. Glad you could share it with us and I hope it has eased some burden off your heart. Whatever you're doing right now has impacted so many students and young adults across the country. We'll always, always support you no matter what you do. Love you! Stay strong 🌼💗

[@Chinmay_Pant]

Hey, Shweta. Great that you had the courage to speak about such thing. Just wanted you to know, that this made me empathise with you. All I can suggest from my side is that try indulging yourself in diverse activities which keep you busy. I have observed from my personal experiences that whatever we bother about in present, seems so unworthy of our concern sometime in future. So take things a bit casually. Become social(physically) and interact with others. This won't keep you lonely and prevent you from depression. And lastly believe in yourself. Boost your confidence by finding happiness in small, little things. Mental health is equally important as physical health. Just that we don't talk about it much, it seems even more neglected and frightening at the same time.

[@diyachopra1484]

I had tears in my eyes after watching this video. So Inspiring. May God Bless you and everyone who's going through this Phase. I got same feeling many times but Lets not loose "HOPE".

[@virajt9107]

Thank you for sharing this, it helps a lot to introspect and accept things we know and not accept. Wishing you all the strength and happiness ✨🙏🏻😇

[@OnlyChristsavesUs]

Not only you ma'am everyone's facing it, they don't share it because they were tired of people saying it's ok, it's ok. But they don't know until they face it. I have started new hobbies by reading mental health books an focusing on physical health tooo. Anyone feeling depressed can do this. I'm not saying it is the ultimate solution but slowly u will feel better and when u love yourself you don't want to hurt yourself. Trying to keep myself busy. Slowly u will better. Finally, IT IS WAS IT IS. 😶

[@anonymous-qr5il]

I am not suffering from depression but a physical chronic pain that has made my life pause. One thing I want to say you just be very cautious with your people. I realised only my mother and brother are ones who actually care about me..and there is 1 friend with whome I talk once in a week. I've started hating almost everyone as I saw there real love towards me...

[@SanjaySingh-wm4tg]

Ghanta!

[@TasmanianDevil-kq2lo]

I know what you mean. Your friends will understand but can’t help because they dont know how. Your family cares but again don’t know how to help. You feel worthless. You feel like you’ll always be in a situation where nothing will come in your favour. And god the thoughts! I’m not at my peak depression now but I remember when I was, I could see why certain depressed people feel helpless. Earlier, looking at depressed people, I always thought why don’t they take this xyz action. Why dont they just run away. Why not start afresh. Why not do what they like and why are they in their vicious circle. When I was at my peak, I could see oh I was a little depressed a while ago but why is this feeling getting intense week by week. Why I feel like I will go mad. Then I understood how behaviour pattern changes among people who are depressed. I could see how this madness will one day bring me to a point where suicide will look easier whereas getting through everyday will be a challenge. I have been depressed since 2018 and though I’m not even 10% as bad as I was back in 2020, there is a permanent mark it has left on me. I just dont enjoy things as much as I did 7-8 years ago. I see happy extrovert faces and I feel like I’ll never be content anymore because I didn’t invite depression last time. It just appeared. It can again anytime so why get excited over happiness anyways? But a lot of learning. Modesty. Humbling experience. Stronger personality. A better level of preparedness for next time (if there is a next time) (Also, last line is bullshit because if you can prepare yourself for depression, that’s not depression at first place)

[@TasmanianDevil-kq2lo]

Also, please don’t suffer it alone, remember even if 10 of your 600k followers care, you matter.

[@hungryjack9454]

Yes I wish someone understands

[@TasmanianDevil-kq2lo]

@@hungryjack9454 More than understand, I just wish they acknowledge it. The stigma is huge. If there is more awareness around anxiety and depression, people will understand and acknowledge it.

[@tywincannister]

Thank you so much for sharing Shweta, I have been combating severe IT addiction since more than a decade, so much so that it ANNIHILATED my career, relationships, social skills etc. and set me on a spiralling dark path to absolute rock bottom. Much like in your case, I didn't even know that I am an addict till 10 months ago (around the same time when I started prepping for CAT) and I agree with you that this is surely due to a lack of awareness and the stigma so strongly attached. Terribly sorry you went through all that, but so so glad you talked about it, I wish to one day recover enough so I can talk about this as well and help spread some awareness (esp. cause IT addiction is relatively a novelty) Lastly, to anyone in the same bucket: Don't lose hope, you are not alone and you will beat this someday. Someday.

[@siyasakshi2312]

Its very good to hear you about this , its so bravery.......The same thing through which I'm going through from past 3 year and still i suffering , during this i totally be depressed and every single step of my moment i feel liveless... The words of other people are always haunt me and feel like they make me feel low ..... This is definately a most difficult for living a single day ... But I fighting and hope for having a brightest future ...

[@pathforsuccess193]

Shweta, love the way and proud of you, how bravely you put such a personal issue in such a large public platform. I will pray for you, and one thing I want to add - as of from my own experience as I also been depressed since 2016 - that this experience must increase the horizon of thinking of the survivors, as they accept that there may be some kind of trouble which can be beyond their scope of thinking, unlike the ours pain, which get neglected by society, with that, there is nothing like depression.

[@priyanshiprabha9201]

I truly wish that you're okay and happy now Shweta. You're one of the purest souls I've come across on the internet and I really appreciate you for sharing this, it wouldn't have been easy, stay happy!

[@bkb371]

I got so related that I cried out. As of now i just have to say thanks for being there as on being alive putting out darely. ❤

[@abhisheksutar8784]

Appreciate you talking about this All of the things you said I feel them almost on a daily basis. I have very strong urges to break down but people around me and my girlfriend really try to help me but as you said no one can understand it. Hope everyone is happy and those suffering come out of this rut soon.

[@user-gf1yr4jc1v]

Hello ma'am! I think you are sharing this with us because you have a lot of faith in your YT family, that we care about you just like you care about us! So pls don't think sharing this with us is ever going to be a problem - because this will only make you come across as a human and increase your bonding with us ie your audience. No brand, no can ever downplay a content creator who has a strong bonding with their audience, no real relationship can ever be affected by honesty! Thank you for being an inspiration for us MBA aspirants!

[@priyanshimaheshwari01]

I don't think that I am capable of understanding the pain you guys suffer but being supportive I hope that everything will be fine soon and don't lose hope we all are here to support you 🥰❤

[@rajneshranjan1771]

More power to you for opening up. Every human is suffering some or other kind of mind issues with different levels and its us who increase the levels day by day because we don’t know how to deal with it which finally leads to severe depression and mental stuffs. So the main idea is to accept the thoughts,feelings as it is and stop fighting and judging yourself for it. Your action defines you not your thoughts, they are powerless and just thoughts nothing more, don’t give them life by overthinking on them.If you fight them you give power and life to these thoughts, just accept them as harmless thought which is not you absolutely. Humans are their own healer,therapist and what not, you just have to dive deep inside yourself. You will never need a doctor if you don’t let it grow to that level. Keep fighting , stay strong and remember the life of main character is always filled with ups and downs to make you grow strongest than most. Take care❤

[@muskanjain7257]

Hi, its been very brave of you to come out and talk about it. And yes people will understand unless and until it happens with them, or when the society just keep pushing them away to maintain a reputation that doesn't matter most of the time. I have been going through similar issues, but never realised it until one day my senior humiliated me and I broke down, just after the call. I know something is very wrong happening with me and I need help. Luckily I had few people around me who were supportive enough to help me in therapy sessions. I m just doing fine lately and inside me I know there is hope, that everything will fall in place one day or the other. Its not about keeping oneself strong, its about letting it be the way it is. After this happened I try to keep checking on friends and family, if they need someone to be there I will there for them, unlike in my case when no one was there to support me. More love and power to you Shweta

[@tanaypawar9262]

I also suffered from sevier depression and mental health issues...we all know how tough it is... thank you so much mam..It's very good work to communicate with people on this topic which is most underrated and ignored... thank you so much mentor...

[@shubhamabnave4046]

I completed agree with you... I was also going through fear and anxiety issues from last one year but due to medications and treatment now I am feeling better than earlier and almost on the way to end the treatment.... All thanks to my mom who spotted this and immediately taken action for it... The one who goes through it only knows how difficult it is to comeback from such thing... Salute to you for coming up with such heartening video....
