Have you ever felt like the dark souls are around you? They are staring at you. You are in a dark room alone but you are not alone, you are surrounded by so many spirits but the main thing is are they spirits? No, it's the power of our subconscious mind that makes our imaginations true. Something like this happened with Georgia. She is a well-known Maths professor at St.Groover University. She lived with her grandaunt and granduncle after her mother died.

Once upon a time, in the bustling city of London, there lived a young girl named Georgia. She was a professor at St.Groover University, working diligently to pursue her dreams. But beneath her cheerful exterior, Georgia carried the weight of hidden shadows - the struggles of her mental health.


Georgia and her best friend Jenni worked part-time as librarians near their hostel, spending their days surrounded by books and stories. They found solace in the quiet corners of the library, where they could escape from the chaos of the world and immerse themselves in the written word.


She was a good swimmer in her childhood, Georgia had always found solace in the water. The rhythmic strokes, the feeling of weightlessness, it all helped her find a sense of peace. During her childhood she dreamed of becoming the head of the swimming club at her school, using her passion for swimming to inspire others and create a safe space for everyone to express themselves.


This all begins with her childhood traumas but still, she manages to control her rage. She always felt like she was not alone someone was with her, staring at her. But as time went on, the shadows within Georgia's mind grew stronger. As days passed, her rage dominated her control over her mind.

One day when Georgia was sleeping in her room, someone rang her bell. She quickly got up from her bed and opened the door. Dr.Tigri was standing outside. She is a well-known psychiatrist. She welcomed her and offered her a seat in the study. 

- MRS.TIGRI welcome. Come inside.

- Thank you.

- Please have a seat.

- Yes! For sure. So, Georgia like other doctors I ask patients to visit me in my chamber, but because of your request, I came to visit you in your home. So, Georgia, I'm here to listen and support you. Please feel free to share your story with me. Take your time, there's no rush.


Georgia took a deep breath, her hands trembling slightly. The weight of her emotions felt heavy, but she knew this was her chance to unveil the shadows that had been haunting her. With tears welling in her eyes, she began to pour out her heart, recounting the struggles, the fears, and the moments of despair.


As Georgia shared her deepest thoughts and vulnerabilities, Dr. Tigri listened attentively, offering words of encouragement and understanding. Together, they embarked on a journey of self-discovery, peeling back the layers of Georgia's mental health and exploring the shadows that had cast their darkness over her life.

- In the beginning, as I stepped into the hostel, my father's job taking us to new places, I found myself admitted there to pursue higher studies. Being the top student in my school, I hoped for friendships, but instead, I faced the harsh reality of being hated and bullied by everyone. The darkness became a constant reminder of those painful moments. Little did I know, this experience would shape the pages of my life, a tale of resilience and finding light in the darkest of times.

Just as I settled into my room, the darkness enveloped the hostel as the lights flickered and went out, leaving me surrounded by a blanket of darkness. In that moment of darkness, as the lights flickered and my classmates left for the principal's room, I found myself locked inside my own room, feeling helpless and alone. The fear of the unknown gripped me, and tears streamed down my face. But then, a mysterious shadow emerged from the corner, beckoning me to follow. Although tempted, I couldn't bring myself to go with it. Night after night, the shadow persisted, but I remained steadfast in my refusal.

Ah, Riza, the girl with all the privileges in our hostel. She was the epitome of wealth and was showered with pampering from her parents and teachers. It seemed like there were no boundaries for her, as the teachers never held her back from anything. She had the freedom to do as she pleased. And she was the head of the student's swimming team. 

After emerging victorious in the swimming match, I proudly took on the role of head of our students' swimming team. But it seemed that Riza couldn't handle my success and became jealous. She congratulated me on the surface but then issued a chilling threat, warning me to stay safe as she plotted her revenge. 


Feeling the weight of the day, I retreated to my room for a much-needed shower. Unbeknownst to me, the hostel's lady guard had left my door open while cleaning. Seizing the opportunity, Riza sneaked into my room and cunningly hid her phone behind my teddy bear. Oblivious to the hidden device, I locked the door to change into fresh clothes.


Unaware of the unfolding events, I headed to the canteen to satisfy my hunger with a hearty lunch. Exhausted, I decided to take a short nap to recharge. When I woke up, I hurriedly made my way to the prayer hall, realizing I was running late. Little did I know, something had transpired while I slept.


As I entered the prayer hall, I noticed everyone's eyes glued to their phones, their faces adorned with mischievous smiles. Confused and curious, I couldn't help but wonder what had captured their attention. Before I could investigate, the father of the hostel approached me, summoning me to his cabin after the prayer concluded.


The events of the day had taken an unexpected turn, and I couldn't help but feel a mix of apprehension and curiosity about what awaited me in the father's cabin.


After the prayer, I went to my father's cabin. There he showed me the video which was recorded by Riza, I was shocked after seeing it. He asked for an explanation, I told him that I didn't know anything about this. He asked me to write a letter to my parents and asked me to call them as soon as possible. I was for the whole day, he asked every guard to lock me in a dark room where not a single ray of light could be reached. When the guards moved me outside of Father's cabin I saw Riza and her group standing and laughing making jokes about me. At that moment I understood the whole thing was Riza's plan. The guards took me with them and locked inside me a dark room. There I saw the shadow again, he came forward to me and sat in front of me he told me 

- Look what happened today. I told you one day they will end up making you cry. See what happened, now just because of them you and your parents have to suffer. It wouldn't happened if you had listened to me before. Now it's your choice would you suffer or you will take your revenge and come with me into my world?

I agreed to the shadow and the next morning our father brought me out of the dark room. In a rush, I went to my room and grabbed a knife before heading to the breakfast hall. There, I saw Riza and her friends having a good time, which made me feel jealous because they were the main reason for my suffering. As I approached to attack Riza with the knife, she turned around and her nose accidentally got cut. The teachers quickly intervened and took Riza to the infirmary to tend to her injured nose. Soon after, my parents arrived at the scene, and my father summoned me to his room. My mother was furious, her anger palpable, and my father appeared tense, clearly concerned about the situation. In an unexpected turn of events, my father made the decision to pay for Riza's medical expenses, hoping for her betterment. To my surprise, they also decided to take me with them and enrolled me in a school in Washington. It was a sudden change, but I thought it was an opportunity for a fresh start, that night, once again, the shadow character appeared before me. It seemed to congratulate me and extend a chilling welcome into its mysterious world. However, I mustered the courage to refuse its demands and let out a terrified scream in my sleep. At that moment, my parents rushed to my side, concerned by my evident fear. They questioned me about what had happened and why I was so scared, but I couldn't bring myself to share the truth with them. The encounter with the shadow was too unsettling, and I wasn't ready to reveal the haunting presence that had entered my life.

- Hey honey, what happened? Why are you screaming, any bad dream?

- Yes,a bad dream nothing more.

- Ok! Now relax and again go back to sleep.

As the lights were turned off and my parents left my room, sleep eluded me that night. The darkness seemed to amplify my apprehension and unease. The following morning, as I stepped into my new school, I held onto the hope of having positive experiences in this unfamiliar environment. However, to my dismay, a sense of déjà vu overwhelmed me. The students, instead of welcoming me, were filled with fear and would run away at the sight of me. I found myself isolated, without any friends to turn to. The hurtful labels they threw at me, such as "murderer" and "whore," only added to the pain of my already troubled existence. 

The shadow's reappearance during my lunch break was incredibly unsettling. It whispered words in my ear, and filled my mind with a disturbing message. It claimed that nobody around me was truly my friend and that I belonged to it alone. The shadow's manipulation had a mesmerizing effect on me once again, leading me to believe that I needed to take drastic action. I committed a heinous act by purchasing a knife from an unknown source and launching an attack on the students who were congregated in the canteen. Tragically, three students lost their lives while the rest were thankfully rescued. My actions prompted my guardians to be summoned once again, and as a consequence, I was given a Transfer Certificate (T.C.).Despite my father's request for a last chance from my principal, they ultimately decided not to keep me in school due to concerns that I could potentially harm others. Despite my father's efforts, the decision was made to prioritize the safety of the school community.

Locked in a room by my parents, forbidden from going outside, fearing I could harm others. The shadow, night after night, invaded my dreams, and I reluctantly embraced its presence.

As I gazed out of my room's window one morning, captivated by the world beyond, my eyes fell upon a young boy ensnaring butterflies. Our eyes met, and in that moment, he sensed my presence. Curiosity sparked within him, and he communicated with me through a series of intricate sign language gestures. Realizing that conveying my name through sign language was a challenge, I decided to express myself by writing him a heartfelt letter and pouring my thoughts onto the page.

- Hey! I am Georgia. What about you?

I swiftly returned the favour, launching the letter back to him with all the strength I could muster. It soared through the air, carrying my thoughts and emotions towards him. As he caught the letter, a smile spread across his face, and he eagerly unfolded the pages, ready to discover the words that would deepen our connection.

- I am Ben. 

With a mischievous glint in his eyes, the boy ingeniously fastened the letter to a stone and flung it towards me. The stone sailed through the air, carrying the weight of our connection, as I eagerly caught it and unravelled the message. The letter, a tangible link between our worlds, held the power to bridge the gap and unlock the secrets of our budding friendship.

From that day Ben, every day came in front of my house and we talked with each other through letters. One day, he saw him talking to me took him away from them and told him to stay away from me as I could be harmful to him. I waited for him every day in my window but he never appeared. One night the shadow again appeared and whispered in my ear that I told you before nobody is yours and you are mine only. Nobody could ever be your friend and one day I will take you with me. And whoever tries to be yours, I will make them away from you.


As the days passed, my health deteriorated rapidly, reaching its darkest depths. I found myself unable to control my behaviour, acting in strange and unsettling ways. Desperate for a solution, my parents turned to the church, seeking the help of the popes to perform an exorcism. However, to our dismay, the ritual proved ineffective. While many believed that a malevolent spirit was controlling my body, I soon realized that the shadow haunting me was nothing more than a hallucination. My eyes turned an eerie black, and I lost my appetite for normal sustenance, instead consuming insects in a disturbing display. The people around me concluded that I was possessed by a powerful, evil force, and my strength waned with each passing day. Eventually, they decided to take me to a renowned doctor in Washington. After careful examination, the doctor recommended that I seek the assistance of a psychiatrist as soon as possible.


As my condition worsened, it seemed as though the shadow had gained complete control over me. In a twisted turn of events, while my father was engaged in a conversation with the doctor on the terrace, I impulsively pushed him, causing him to tragically fall and meet his demise. An eerie laughter escaped my lips as if I had accomplished something of great significance. My mother, witnessing the horrifying scene, rushed to confront me and slapped me in an attempt to bring me back to my senses. However, in a moment of sheer madness, I forcefully pushed her head into the gate, causing it to bleed profusely. In the midst of the chaos, she retaliated by grabbing my neck, leading to both of us losing our footing and tumbling down the treacherous staircase. The details of that dreadful incident haunt my memories. In the depths of my fragmented memories, I struggle to recollect the events that unfolded, but as I emerged from that harrowing slumber, I found myself confined to a cold, desolate asylum bed. The sterile surroundings and the haunting silence only intensified my confusion and fear. It was then that I discovered the devastating truth about my mother, who had languished in a coma for years. A heavy burden settled upon my heart when I learned that her fragile condition was aggravated by the mere sound of my voice, causing her heart rate to surge. The weight of guilt and anguish consumed me, as I grappled with the consequences of my actions.

After undergoing numerous mental therapy sessions, my mental state gradually returned to a semblance of normalcy. It was during this transformative process that I began to realize that the shadow, the entity that had haunted my thoughts, was nothing more than a creation of my own imagination. It dawned on me that the torment I experienced, the feeling of being bullied and the negative thoughts that plagued my mind, were all products of my subconscious. There was no external force or shadow responsible for the things I had done. This newfound understanding brought with it a heavy burden of guilt that continues to envelop me like a suffocating blanket of darkness, even after all these years. Despite moving forward, completing my higher studies, and venturing into the professional world, the weight of my past actions remains a constant reminder of the remorse I carry within.

It takes immense courage to recognize the increasing presence of negative thoughts and to take proactive steps to address them. After my release from the asylum, I kept the incidents locked away, hidden from the world. However, as time passed, I noticed the persistent rise of these unsettling thoughts, whispering in the depths of my mind. It became clear that seeking guidance from a specialist was crucial to prevent these thoughts from manifesting into harmful actions that could affect others.


Recently, I made the decision to reach out to a mental health professional, someone who could help me navigate the labyrinth of my thoughts and emotions. Opening up about my past experiences, the shadow that haunted my days, and the guilt that lingers like a shadow itself, felt like a weight slowly lifting from my shoulders. With each session, I found solace in the safe space created by the specialist, where I could freely express my fears, doubts, and regrets.


Through these conversations, I began to understand the complex interplay between my past trauma, my subconscious mind, and the impact it has on my present well-being. The specialist provided me with valuable tools and coping mechanisms to manage and redirect my negative thoughts towards more positive and constructive paths. They helped me recognize that seeking professional help is not a sign of weakness, but rather an act of strength and self-care. 

While the journey towards healing and self-forgiveness is ongoing, I have learned that it is essential to prioritize my mental health and seek support when needed. By taking this proactive step, I am actively working towards breaking free from the shackles of guilt and darkness and embracing a brighter future. So, that's all doctor.

Through their sessions, Dr. Tigri provided Georgia with tools and strategies to navigate her emotions, helping her find the strength within to confront her fears and work towards healing. It was a voyage of self-reflection and growth, as Georgia slowly began to understand the roots of her struggles and gain the resilience to face them head-on.

-Georgia, I understand that you're going through a difficult time and grappling with the events that unfolded. It's important to remember that seeking revenge is not a healthy or productive solution. Instead, let's focus on finding ways to heal and move forward. It's crucial that you continue to engage in therapy and work with professionals who can provide guidance and support. Remember, you're not alone in this journey, and there are people who care about your well-being. Stay strong and keep taking positive steps towards healing. What happened was not your fault. So, there's nothing to feel guilty.

- Hey, I understand that you're trying to reassure me by saying it was all in my imagination and that I shouldn't blame myself. It's true that during that time, I wasn't in the right mental state and my subconscious mind played a significant role in influencing my actions. It's comforting to know that you see it that way.


When I reflect on that period, it's clear that my mind was clouded by a mixture of fear, anger, and a sense of powerlessness. The experiences of being locked in a dark room, encountering the shadow character, and feeling the weight of bullying had a profound impact on my psyche. It's like those negative emotions took control and guided me down a dark and dangerous path.


In those moments, I felt like I had lost control over myself. The shadow's reappearance during my lunch break, whispering unsettling words in my ear, further fueled my distorted thoughts. It's as if I was under a spell, mesmerized by its twisted logic, and convinced that taking revenge was the only way to regain my power and protect myself.


The encounter with the shadow led me to make choices that I deeply regret. Buying a knife from it and attacking my fellow students in the canteen resulted in unimaginable tragedy. The consequences of my actions were devastating, not only for the lives lost but also for the pain inflicted on their families and the scars left on the entire community.


After the incident, my guardians intervened and sought help from professionals who could provide therapeutic care. They made the difficult decision to lock me in my room, not out of punishment, but to ensure the safety of others and to prevent further harm. It was a necessary measure to protect everyone involved.


Now, looking back, I realize that it wasn't solely my fault. I was a victim of circumstances and my own vulnerable state of mind. However, it's crucial for me to take responsibility for my actions and the consequences they have. It's a heavy burden to carry, but it's a necessary step towards healing and growth.


Opening up about these experiences and seeking professional help has been instrumental in my journey towards recovery. Through therapy, I've gained a better understanding of the complex interplay between trauma, subconscious influence, and personal responsibility. It has helped me develop coping mechanisms, learn to manage my negative thoughts and find healthier ways to express my emotions.


While the guilt still lingers, I'm slowly learning to forgive myself and recognize that I am not defined solely by those dark moments. I am determined to use this experience as my lesson.

- Georgia! I'd be happy to share some insights about the subconscious mind from a doctor's perspective. The subconscious mind is a fascinating aspect of our psyche that plays a significant role in shaping our thoughts, emotions, and behaviours. It's like the hidden powerhouse that quietly influences our daily lives.


The subconscious mind operates beneath our conscious awareness, working tirelessly behind the scenes. It's responsible for processing and storing vast amounts of information, memories, and experiences that we may not even be aware of. It's like a vast library filled with books about our life's experiences, beliefs, and emotions.


One of the key characteristics of the subconscious mind is its ability to influence our thoughts and actions without us consciously realizing it. It's like a silent partner that guides our decision-making process based on our past experiences and conditioning. It often relies on patterns and associations to make quick judgments and responses.


Our subconscious mind is heavily influenced by our upbringing, early experiences, and the beliefs and values instilled in us by our family, culture, and society. These deeply ingrained beliefs and patterns can shape our perception of the world and impact how we respond to different situations.


Sometimes, the subconscious mind can also harbour unresolved emotions, fears, or traumas that we may not be consciously aware of. These hidden emotional wounds can influence our behaviour and create patterns of self-sabotage or limit our potential. Understanding and addressing these underlying issues can be crucial for personal growth and healing.


In therapy, doctors and mental health professionals often work with patients to explore and uncover the subconscious mind's influence on their thoughts, emotions, and behaviours. Through techniques like psychoanalysis, hypnotherapy, and cognitive-behavioural therapy, they help individuals bring these hidden aspects of their mind into conscious awareness.


By shining a light on the subconscious mind, individuals can gain a deeper understanding of themselves, their motivations, and the root causes of their challenges. This self-awareness empowers them to make conscious choices and break free from negative patterns or limiting beliefs.


It's important to note that the subconscious mind is not inherently good or bad. It's simply a part of our overall mental landscape. However, becoming aware of its influence allows us to harness its power for positive change and personal growth.


So, Georgia, as you navigate your own journey, remember that your subconscious mind is a powerful force within you. By working with professionals, exploring your thoughts and emotions, and developing self-awareness, you can unlock your potential and create a more fulfilling and empowered life. Keep taking those positives.

Days turned into weeks, and weeks into months, as Georgia continued her sessions with Dr. Tigri. With each passing day, she grew stronger.

After diligently attending the sessions and working hard on her personal growth, Georgia started to see positive changes in her life. She began to let go of the anger and frustration that had consumed her for so long. With the guidance of the doctor, she learned healthy coping mechanisms and strategies to overcome her past traumas.


As Georgia continued her journey, she discovered a newfound passion for art. Through painting and drawing, she found a way to express her emotions and channel her energy into something positive. Her artwork became a source of healing and a way to inspire others who were facing similar struggles.


With her newfound confidence and artistic talent, Georgia decided to organize an art exhibition to raise awareness about mental health and the power of healing through creativity. The exhibition was a huge success, attracting people from all walks of life. Georgia's story touched the hearts of many, and her artwork served as a beacon of hope for those who were still on their own healing journeys.


Inspired by her exhibition's success, Georgia decided to pursue a career as an art therapist. She wanted to help others heal through the transformative power of art, just as she had experienced herself. She enrolled in a prestigious art therapy program and excelled in her studies, fueled by her passion and determination.


During her training, Georgia met a diverse group of individuals who shared their own stories of resilience and growth. Together, they formed a tight-knit support system, cheering each other on as they navigated the challenges of their chosen profession. Georgia felt grateful for the connections she had made and the opportunity to learn from such inspiring individuals.


After completing her studies, Georgia opened her own art therapy practice. She created a safe and nurturing environment where individuals could explore their emotions, heal from past traumas, and discover their own creative potential. Georgia's warmth, empathy, and personal experience made her an exceptional art therapist, and her practice quickly gained recognition in the community.


As the years went by, Georgia's impact continued to grow. She became a renowned advocate for mental health, using her platform to raise awareness and break down the stigma surrounding mental illness. She collaborated with schools, organizations, and community centres to provide art therapy workshops and support for those in need.


Georgia's journey was not without its challenges, but her resilience and determination carried her through. She found strength in her own healing and used it to uplift and empower others. Her story became an inspiration to many, like her.

"In the depths of darkness, Georgia's journey unfolded, a battle between anger and healing, despair and hope. With every tear shed and every step taken, she fought to reconcile her dual nature. And in the end, it was her unwavering love and resilience that triumphed. As Georgia emerged from the shadows, she became a beacon of strength, reminding us all that even in our darkest moments, there is always a glimmer of light, guiding us towards healing and redemption. Her story, a testament to the power of the human spirit, will forever touch our hearts and inspire us to never lose hope."

"Amidst the shadows of pain and despair, Georgia's life taught us that even in the darkest corners, the flicker of hope can ignite a flame of healing. Her journey reminds us that it's in our deepest struggles that we find the strength to rise, to overcome, and to embrace the light that awaits us on the other side."
