So, I can ride through smoothly in a tough phase.“I think it is the most normal thing to feel sad or depressed, but in our society it is considered taboo. Now, on social media platforms, people look so happy and perfect by posting their pictures and stuff, so if anyone is sad or depressed then they consider him as abnormal, but that is not the case.“I think it’s the most normal thing and in today’s challenging time, the kind of stress we go through, I think it’s the most common thing and it’s good to accept that. Take help when you have an issue and people shouldn’t be ashamed about it as today, everybody is going through that.
