(Yes that's me)  HEY EVERYONE! Welcome back to Month 13 of #faltufriday! Today's post is a special one as the 'Damselz-in-sanity' family completes ONE WHOLE YEAR!! It has been an absolutely thrilling and amazing year and I can't seem to thank y'all enough for it. From where we started to where we have reached, the response has been massive.  I never knew blogging would spark such a keen interest in my life but the support that you all have given me <<3 As I promised, today's post is a special Q&A post where I answer your most requested questions :) Without further ado, let's get to it! I've always been a person who enjoys doing something out of the box. For me, being an Instagram influencer or youtuber never really "clicked". To be honest, I didn't even know google had it's own very well equipped blogging platform. I was bored during online school and decided to go the various products that google offered when I came acros

 Hey everyone! In my last weeks post   I spoke about how the decline in Self-Esteem has become a rising factor among adolescents of this generations. It has existed for quite some time however, due to the increase in social media engagement, the graph has taken a hit. As I promised in last weeks blog post, today's post is going to be on some general  ways you can try implementing in your lifestyle to overcome low Self-esteem . So, without further ado, lets get to it :) You might feel that this is a very cliché advice that lots of people give- I did too🤷🏻‍♀️ Until I decided to give it a try. It may feel forceful at times-that's completely normal.

The main problem I intended to tackle was misdiagnosis of various mental disorders, how certain disorders are stereotyped to a large extent and what we see on the net is not always true.  As promised, today's post is based on what exactly misdiagnosis is-what leads to it and what are it's consequences.  Without further ado, let's get to it!  Misdiagnosis kya hota hai? It's definition is more or less self explanatory. It is basically the act of wrongly diagnosing yourself with a particular disorder or illness without consulting a doctor or a professional. One tends to decide what condition they suffer from on the basis of what they can grasp from the first few sites on the net. They tend to start medication themselves which as we all are aware of, is extremely dangerous.      Now that we answered that, it leads us to the next question: How does it arise? There are several facto
