“The advice I’d give to somebody that’s silently struggling is: You don’t have to live that way. You don’t have to struggle in silence. You can be un-silent. You can live well with a mental health condition, as long as you open up to somebody about it, because it’s really important you share your experience with people so that you can get the help that you need.”
— Demi Lovato, an American singer, songwriter, and actor.

Mark put his hand on Susan's shoulder and said:
Oh my God, what happened to you, where have you been lost, how long have I been looking, I do not know in what thoughts you are lost. What do you thinking?
Susan woke up from some sleep, and said, no, I was not lost in thoughts, I was just a little tired, so there was a little nap, tell Mark, do you have any work for me?
Mark said, no, there is no work, I just came out of here and asked you after seeing you like this sleeping. By the way, I have been watching for a few days, you look very upset, is there any problem going on. If you have any problem then you can tell me, maybe I can help you.
Susan said again, oh no mark I have no problem, still thank you very much for asking, I will definitely let you know if I need any help.
Saying this, Susan started working to her office.
Susan is a simple girl with a modest appearance and Mark is her office mate, Susan mostly works with her business, does not talk much to anyone, rather she probably does not like to talk to any man, only Mark is such a person who can talk to Susan, Mark likes Susan very much because Mark likes simple type girls as Susan very much. Susan also talks to Mark as she knows that Mark is a good person by heart.
Mark is in love with Susan but has never been expressing his love to Susan till now, even though he and Susan have been working together in the same office for two years. Mark also got up from Susan and sat on his seat and he too started dealing with his daily routine work.
He had just been able to do some work when he saw a new person, Daniel standing near Susan, who was appointed to his office just last week. Daniel was saying something to Susan, but Mark cannot hear their talk due to distance. But it was clearly visible from Susan's gesture that she was furious after hearing Daniel's words.
For some time, both of them had an argument, then Susan started shouting loudly, and she becomes fainted and fell to the ground.
Actually, Mark noticed from the very beginning that whenever a man talks to Susan with lustful eyes, she gets this type of hysteria attack and she becomes very upset.
Mark, and his other two companions including one girl working in the office, ran to Susan and raised her in her lap and laid her on the office sofa, someone splashed water on her, then she came to some senses, and she started crying as soon as she regained consciousness.
Everyone asked, tell us what happened, then Susan cried and told us that the new employee, Daniel, was talking abusively with her and giving her dirty gestures. Everyone searched for Daniel but he had run away. Susan's health was deteriorating, so Mark and one of his companions took Susan to the nearest hospital sitting in the company's car.
The female doctor did all the tests on Susan, but the tests did not reveal that she had any disease.
The doctor called Mark inside and inquired about the whole incident, when Mark gave the details of all the things to the doctor, the doctor said to Mark, my opinion is to show her to a psychiatrist or counsellor, maybe she has some mental illness. Because there is no disease in the physical examinations.
On the advice of the doctor, without informing Susan, Mark met a famous psychiatrist in the city and told them about Susan's introverted behaviour and requested him to check Susan's mental state in such a way that she would not know about this investigation at all.
The psychiatrist said that for this test, we have to give a special injection to Susan, in which she will sleep for some time after the test, then she will not remember that anything was asked of her, we will also need written permission of someone close to her. If you are close you can give this permission.
Yes Doctor I am Susan's fiancé Mark lied to the doctor.
Mark explained to Susan that she needed to be examined and some other investigation by this doctor as well so that her illness could be fully treated.
Susan believed in Mark so she immediately said yes for examination and investigation.
The psychiatrist arrived with Susan and Mark in a special room and put Susan on a comfy chair, then put a head Hat on her head with some wires coming out of this hat.
Then Susan was given a tranquillizer and, when Susan fell into a light sleep, the psychiatrist began asking her questions.
After answering questions for about an hour, the psychiatrist and Mark learned that Susan's real father had died when Susan was only 15 years old, and Susan's mother had remarried after some time to someone else.
Her stepfather treated her badly when she was a child. This thing entered Susan's mind and she hated men, so Susan has no interest in talking to any man.
But she did not tell this anyone, including her mother, because she did not want that the relationship between her mother and stepfather should be affected in any way, and for this reason, she kept suffocating inside, which affected her subconscious. It also fell on her mind and she started getting sick.
This incident had a horrible effect on Susan's conscience, she was very tired of heart and mind, and she sees the reflection of her stepfather in every man. So she only cares about her work and doesn't want to talk to any man and there was no entertainment in her life so she gets exhausted very quickly physically and mentally.
For these reasons Susan has become very irritable and sometimes has a hysteria attack. As a result, if someone misbehaves with Susan, then Susan gets a kind of hysteria attack and she becomes panicked for some time.
The doctor told Mark that if someone keeps on treating him with love, then he will recover from this disease forever.
At the same time, Mark decided in his mind that he would somehow persuade Susan to marry him and give her so much love that she would forget all the previous things from her mind.
After returning from the psychiatrist, Mark and Susan went to their respective homes, from the next day Mark started taking more care of Susan in the office.
Then one day seeing the right opportunity, he expressed his love to Susan. Susan had also been understanding Mark's sincere care and love for a long time and she too had fallen in love with Mark, so Susan also did not take long to say yes.
Now they both are living together very happily after marriage, and Susan almost forgets her bed memories which were present in her unconscious mind.
