The year of 2017 was disastrous for me. I think I hit the ultimate rock bottom of my life (yet) during that year. Nothing went right for me in that year - be it academics; I accumulated 4FR grades within two semesters, my grandmother died around mid 2017 (I was not very close, but still I think I was affected howsoever hard I try and deny that fact), I got my first rejection in my love life. This left me pretty devastated and possibly depressed as well? I don't really know.Anyway, this is not a sad story or my lament reminiscing my troubled past. This is a story of hope and recovery. I had heard about the Student Wellness Center from a friend just the last semester, so I decided why not take all the help I got from the institute. I can undoubtedly say that opting for counseling is going to be the one of the biggest life changing decisions I made while on campus. So I shot a mail to SWC on January 2018 and hoped for

the best.I think the saying that goes like "God helps only those who help themselves" holds true. I can

say this because I got allotted to Anjali Ma'am. She is one of the most reasonable person I've ever met, and did not give me any false hopes that I would be magically be better. She helped me come back from

limbo one session at a time. The regular sessions continued for about a semester, and she was readily available over mails and text messages even after that.

In conclusion, getting better from a low point in your life is ultimately one's own task, but getting help from SWC sure does make that task a lot easier.
