Your mental health matters:

This month has been going beautifully beautiful. In a disguise it was kinda cloudy since two days but itā€™s a sunny day today. And no doubt sunny day is equals to a happy day for me and Juli too haha.

In the first day of December my grandfather who was in hospital due to some emergencies on health issues got discharged and he is doing really well now. So it was a fresh start for all of us. Juliiā€™s hairs are growing and she is seeming more energetic and glowing than before. Her wounds are healing. ā£ļø

The update is my exams are near and so is my birthday. There has never been an year where I have failed to make myself feel so special on that particular day. Our exam routine is to be published 15 days prior to examination and it has not been published yet. I donā€™t know if my birthday and my exam will coincide. Itā€™s going to be a new experience and a challenge for me on how will I pamper my selves in the heat of things going on. I would love to know my response on that particular event and I am excited for that. December brings joy and glory, is what I feel and the next interesting thing about this month is: it gives a call to the new yearā€™s. A new beginning, a new atmosphere, a new way of thinking and a way of living your life with gratitude.

Live your life

Sometimes I question so many things, to my-selves and also to my parents, about things I find skeptic about. Mostly about life, their experiences and their way of evolving to the human being they are today. I am really curious on talks that is concerned With life, Business, Travel, Emotions, Mental health, Photoshoots and Fashion. It has been quite a long time I have been parted with photography. I know itā€™s one of my favourite thing to do, but there is a goal ahead before things I have halted since these two years. I hope this time I make something reasonable and fruitful to carry on with.

In the start of September, I had a health issue, it went better after few weeks and I am fit and fine now. After 2 and half months I started to figure out the heavy amount of hair fall from my head. Whether it beā€™s during shower, while combing, oiling or during sleep. It has been kind of 20ā€“25 days of my heavy hair loss and I even discussed with closed one. After certain researches and updates I found out the reason behind it. Itā€™s TELOGEN EFFLUVIUM.

The hair the keeps on shedding even without combing, these lumps come 5 to 6 times or even more in a day.

The concern here is in this growing phase of pandemic, the aftershocks about health, virus and deaths we have been inclined to certain fears, that acc to studies have resulted about 8% more growth in hair loss in these two years. When we get certain shocks, or a heavy fever , also an stress ful event, after 2ā€“3 months of those occurring we start to get heavy hair fall, which is due to TELOGEN EFFLUVIUM.

To every one who is experiencing a heavy hair fall during this time, let me tell, you are not alone. I also listened experiences of people and my friends as they say its temporary. Acc to doctors it may take about 6ā€“9 months to get back to its original state. There are certain causes of Telogen effluvium, which you might relate to, you can also surf the web for more detailed informations. The lack of protein and vitamins whereas the condition in our blood or our thyroid system may add up to the happening of this increased hair loss.

I have been researching a lot on this lately. So what I figured out is most of the people have discussed about Rosemary and castor oil. Even doctors have prescribed it. Minoxidil is one of the most used medication for hair growth but some people have noticed side effects so as rosemary is organic way of dealing with it, I think this will be a safer approach to go through in the beginning.

I am planning to use this mixture, you can add olive, castor and rosemary in a proportion of 2:2:2 or in carrier oils you can also add almonds or coconut oil in replacement to olive oil. I will be giving the reviews and the updates on how my hair is responding to this thing.

At this very moment, I would like to believe that my hair will grow, it just needs some time and a little more pampering than before. Dear all, healing is a messy process and it needs time. You may get more stressed seeing the amount of hair you loose in every activity you do with your hair. It is said that we loose 30ā€“40% of our hair during this time or sometimes even more.

Sometimes itā€™s about trusting the process. It makes you feel better, and in the moment. Everything needs time and even our hair. What we can do is, pampering the hair we have and being grateful for it. Whatā€™s gone is gone, we can not do anything, yeas it feels bad but our dwelling will cause more shedding. So love your hair and your body, moreover your health like a treasure. You are a treasure šŸ’œ and so is your mental health.

Itā€™s so strange, how everything has a common pin point and that is our emotional and mental health. I know we canā€™t remain happy and hyper motivated everytime and I canā€™t say be happy, donā€™t think much, donā€™t be sad, because your condition is with yourself. I canā€™t feel you, but I can relate to. When ever I feel low, I talk to people whom I feel better sharing my talks with, I hug juliiā¤ļø, I talk with myselves in the mirror, I write and write and write, I go the balcony and stare at those birds, the sky and those moving vehicles, I meditate and most importantly I drink coffee ( which might not help for everyone, but for me coffee lifts my mood so fast and it makes me relaxed).

My best therapy: My julišŸ’š

Your ways and mine can be totally different and thereā€™s nothing wrong. You and I are not same, we are different, so is our approach to life and and our way of taking things. Itā€™s just that we can figure out what works for us, and that helps. It really doesšŸ§”

Just one thing: EVERYTHING IS TEMPORARY SWEETHEART! And What we live for is what we are today, at this point at this particular moment with this particular scenario. And we donā€™t want to just expect that we may be happy tomorrow, if certain things can lighten our this particular present moment.

I just love listening to people, knowing their stories and exploring the inner world of our thoughts, emotions and lighting them in our external life as a therapy. šŸ’š

You are loved. When you love yourself you start to spread love. Love is such a beautiful feeling , letā€™s not let it be taken for granted. You have a value and you are valued my dear.

I am always there to listen stories and connect with souls. I believe in the process of universe and the source is us.šŸ’›

Take care of your health, your family and your loved ones. I would love your reviews and thoughts if things can relate to.

Till thenā€Šā€” love love šŸ’•
