19-year-old Navitha was a bright and outgoing girl who was confident in public speaking and loved meeting new people. Things took an unexpected turn when she started experiencing anxiety attacks and severe mood swings due to family issues. She had a hard time focusing in school and managing her newfound emotions.
Navitha began her counselling journey with TOUCH and slowly learnt to regulate and process her emotions. The recovery process was not easy, but Navitha saw huge improvement ever since she started counselling. With the support of her family and friends, she worked on regaining her confidence and joy in life.
While she still faces occasional moments of anxiety today, Navitha is stronger and more self-aware. She now channels her experience into advocacy and volunteers at roving exhibitions in schools, sharing her story and encouraging others to speak up and seek help.
“Instead of being quick to judge others, we should create a safe space for people to share their struggles and support them in their healing journey,” shares Navitha.
