What is the “silent killer”? It refers to our thoughts, constant overthinking, and the continuous process going on in our minds—thinking about our studies, trying to make our parents proud, imagining ourselves successful in life, and striving to fulfil our dreams.
Sometimes, these thoughts can affect you from the inside, yet you feel unable to share them with anyone. And when you focus intensely on one aspect of your life, you may lose interest in another. Meanwhile, people around you—your parents, friends, teachers, and relatives—may start criticizing you without understanding what you are going through.
So, what can you do to deal with this?
Talk to someone you trust—a parent, a trusted friend, or a counsellor/psychologist. Sharing what you are going through can make things feel lighter and help you find a way forward.
