It sounds super scary. The mental agony of it can be exhausting considering that humans are social animals. We are not programmed to live in isolation and forced isolation can be so dampening. As far as help goes, sometimes we go 'haq se' for those we know well, for others we don't know whether we're overstepping or becoming overwhelming so we kind of stick to sidelines and let them tell us, maybe keep offering help but let the affected individual decide how much they want our involvement. It's a tricky thing for sure. The joke is funny! :)<br /><br />My A-Z list is at <a href="https://fictionpies.com/2022/04/2022-a-z-the-complete-works.html" rel="nofollow">FictionPies</a> <a href="https://fictionpies.com">Deepa from FictionPies</a>https://www.blogger.com/profile/08190726711949079567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8832167646646400368.post-68581434004144282692022-05-01T19:53:34.966+05:302022-05-01T19:53:34.966+05:30Happy to know that you have recovered.
