Huma Khan talks about life with depression

FOCUSING ON SELF

Taking to Instagram to announce her break from social media, she revealed how a terrible heartbreak took a toll on her mental well-being, and became the reason she was unable to work for a year. "I always thought depression and mental health as merely some words in the dictionary. Then two years back it struck me, struck me so hard it nearly knocked me dead. I wanted it to end. The pain, the melancholia, the desperation to want things to be better again. I was unable to fathom what's happening around me," she opens up to fans. She goes on to add that she experienced painful symptoms like claustrophobia, sleeping paralysis, fatigue, shortness of breath and withdrew from her friends and took a break from work. "Due to this messed up life, I was unable to work for over a year. Days turned into nights and nights turned into days and I was all lost; I was that version of Huma who tried seeking refuge into such wrong paths and doing things that the mere thought of them send chills down my spine. I am still fighting. Trying to find help, gulping down pills after pills so I can just attain some peace. I am going to take a break from social media to find that peace, that silence that can save my soul and probably me as well."
