17th March, marks my first anniversary for Working From Home aka WFH.
And suddenly, in no time, mental health has become the talk of the town. Companies are focussing more on Employee Engagements. Well, the mental health is still considered as taboo in and around us. You can not speak up openly. The question arises, why?
I was also suffering from issues such as I did not want to wake up the morning and go to work, as I was not enjoying it. Extreme pressure was levied on me just to harass calling themselves as “boss”. There were times when I hated to go and speak to such people. This went in bits and pieces. 3-4 months in parts for couple of years.
I am lucky enough to have a wonderful set of leaders and colleagues who always supported me and believed in me during all my times. My nature of never giving up and fighting till the end like a true warrior always helped in such times.
There is a zone, a thin line between your physical and mental state where you find your purple patch and you enjoy The Midas Touch. The things you do turns into gold. But if this zone turns into obsession, the downward spiral begins. Ego and Self Centeredness in the corporate world is the evil here.
Handling situations one at a time and pursuing things that you enjoy, is the key.
The only thing here is to speak up with your loved and dear ones. Everything has a solution
