Mudit is a 23-year-old student from Delhi. He pursued his undergraduate degree from Delhi University and is now looking to do his MBA.
Mudit was born in Madhya Pradesh and stayed there until he finished 10th grade. He recollects being a quiet kid who focused more on academics during school. Mudit adds that he was in the top five in his class until 10th grade.
He shares that he was often the left-out person in a group of friends as he changed schools throughout his childhood, making friendship an inconsistent bond throughout his teenage years.
He moved to a hostel in Kota for his 11th grade in the science stream, but he realised it wasn’t his primary interest.
Mudit consciously decided to shift to business and management studies from Delhi for his bachelor’s degree. Mudit explains that after graduating, he was in a financial crisis. He made some mistakes and bad choices, which caused him a considerable loss.
Even after understanding the path might induce a loss, Mudit recollects making the same mistakes repeatedly. It started to hurt him and also began to strain his relationship with his parents and his brother.
“I made some major blunders, and that kind of deteriorated my financial well-being and my bond with my family. It felt like I kept driving myself into problems again and again.”
During this phase, his friend Unnati, who was pursuing her Bachelor of Business Administration from Birla Global University, suggested that Mudit consult a therapist at YourDOST, as her college had a subscription to the platform.
Unnati sought the experts on the platform to increase her attention span in school. She found it helpful, so she recommended and helped Mudit. Through the policy, she had the option to nominate two dependents.
Mudit took her suggestion and started attending the sessions. He recalls having a lot to share and feeling that no matter his situation, the counselors on the platform were nonjudgmental, open-minded, and listened to him patiently.
“My issues weren’t linear; every problem had a linking story from the past, and in every session, I went back and forth to describe them. Despite that, the counselors were positive, and anonymity helped share freely.”
Mudit explains that he used to feel like he had no willpower or self-control when struggling. He remembers feeling regretful and disappointed. He thought it was not forgivable because he made mistakes even after learning the consequences.
The counselor listened to Mudit and gave him the moral support and encouragement he needed. They started by providing generic guidance, and after diving deep into his issues, they suggested roadmaps, options, and possibilities for his next steps.
Along with the guidance, they gave him website links, pamphlets, and documents to help him understand his issues. Mudit explains that it was beneficial, and he started following them.
They also suggested some mindfulness activities, such as breathing and imagination techniques. Mudit recollects answering some questionnaires and assessments to help the therapist understand his state of mind. He was also made to maintain an audio emotions journal to have a place for him to express his feelings.
“The best outcome from all these was hope. I started believing I could eliminate the negative thoughts and control my impulses.”
Mudit adds that therapy gave him a space to think. He learned that time is a significant healing factor. He realised that time can heal us slowly but gradually if we have patience. Mudit expresses his gratitude to his counselor for listening to everything he said and being there for him during the difficult times.
A good amount of research would have gone into the guidance and directions the counselor taught me. It was terrific, and I have no words to say how thankful I am.”
As he rates himself 4 out of 5, we are proud of Mudit for the changes he made in his life and for improving his relationship with his family. We wish him all the best in the future.
