Hey! Thanks for reaching out. I am sure it must have been really devastating for you. But it neither your mother’s fault nor yours. But not deny it is a very difficult road for the family members and the primary care givers of the person who is suffering from mental illness. I can only imagine the toll all of it must have on you. Please don’t blame your mother for this, it’s not in her hands. You are a very courageous girl. I know you have been going through a lot, we also need to take care of your mental health, lets focus on managing few things. You can focus on your studies and take care of your emotions, let’s try it together.

Zoya ma'am is it possible that I can reduce my depression by doing exercises and meditation regularly???? Can I just reduce it for about 10 more months as my exam will be probably on May????

There is nothing like reducing your death depression for 10 days or delaying it it would be really difficult after 10 months once you’re done with your exam because it would then become more old in terms of your symptoms. But if you still want you can try to practise mindfulness and make a realistic schedule in which you include a physical activities slot A slot for your hobby and sometime off for yourself. You have a goal if you practise these things it will keep you distracted. Please don’t blame yourself for anything if one day or two days you’re not able to follow up your productivity it’s okay you are a human and you can be irregular, just try to be as much consistent as you can and keep yourself occupied.
