A life altering event in Dec'19 shook me up. My father killed himself after suffering from depression for the last 7 years. The last few months have been an emotional roller coaster. 1/n

After trying & failing to get back to 'normal' a few times, I've now decided to rebuild every single aspect of my life.

The fundamentals of how I perceive life have been shaken. My mental Lego I've built in my head for all these years has been broken down. 2/n

I've tried to put some band-aid and move on. Didn't work for me. And I'm currently on my journey of rebuilding that lego inside my head. I start over. I learn from my past mistakes, and hopefully do a better job of rebuilding. It's all an iteration, anyway. 3/n

This thread is an honest attempt to seek help from people who've been here and also share what I've learnt so far in this journey to rebuild I'll talk about the people, habits & tools that have helped me get through a really difficult time mentally. 4/n

**Support System -** I'm grateful for having family and friends who told me it was ok to cry, vent out, and be vulnerable. I attempted taking it all in my stride and moving on quickly. I failed miserably. I couldn't make sense of anything around me. 5/n
