\u201cI tried to commit suicide 2 days back. I called my friend at 1.30 am and he helped me get out of it. I was a drug addict. Currently, I am jobless & lost. I come from a dysfunctional family and I haven\u2019t spoken to my dad for the last 5 months. I was so scared to come here and can barely manage to open my mouth. I need help.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI have been a drug addict for the last 4 years. I spend half of my salary on drugs. Right now I have only Rs 100 per day to survive the rest of the month. It started as a curiosity but now I am deeply addicted. I know it is a black world and I want everyone to come out of it asap including myself. World without drugs is so beautiful. I want to reach out to people and make them aware of the consequences, so that they never try.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \u201cMy mother had dementia and I was an extremely effeminate kid. I was bullied and harassed. These scars disturb me.\u201d <\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

    \u201cI am the most senior person in the room. I have been on anti-depressants for the last 4 years. I want to get off medication \u2013 the side effects are painful.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
