My 2021 Journey

My journey through 2021 was rather a tough one. It was the time when the pandemic took the lives of many people and peace was far away from all of us. Tension, stress and worries became part of our lives. We were in the wait for our little one to arrive. I was waiting to see the cute face of my newborn baby. My wait for my baby ended in July 2021. It was a period of pain and pleasure. I thank all of my near and dear ones who supported me throughout my pregnancy period. I was rather focused much on the care to be given to my dear baby. I could see the magic smile on my elder son's face when he saw his younger brother. It was a moment of joy and happiness. To be a mother is the greatest blessing a woman could have in her life. I was blessed to be the mother of two sweet kids.

After my delivery, the journey was not easy. I got into the room of depression. My nights became sleepless. I yearned for a minutes' sleep. My nights became a matter of fear. I started wondering at the change which was slowly destroying my peace within my body and mind. I realised that it was time for me to visit a psychiatrist. It was my first visit. I was scared and worried about this. Much to my dismay, questions were fired at me in an awkward way. I started consuming sleeping pills. Antidepressants and pills became part and parcel of my life. I became dependent on those tablets. I couldn't look after my kids. I was tense and worried. I was not at all happy at this sudden change of life events. I could say that the worst year of my life could be 2021.

Thank god that I have overcome those moments of grief and now am perfectly okay with my life.
