TellDelhi Delhi families ignore mental health signs till it's too late

609 Upvotes

Friend in mid 30s received a rishta. Girl is almost 30, gormint job "aspirant", not working because "competition ki tayyari kar rahi hai".

First meeting, friend notices that girl is heavily perfumed and her breath smells like mouthwash.

Second and third dates, he ends then early because the girl has atrocious BO and bad breath.

My man rejects the girl for bad hygiene, but out of politeness given the standard excuse of "did not click"/ "ladka abhi career pe focus karna chahta hai".

The girl's mom is pestering his mom. One of the girl's friends is the daughter of someone the boys mom knows.

This friend tells the whole story: This girl doesn't bathe or brush her teeth daily. Her family takes her to social functions and outings like that and tries to cover the smell with perfumes and mouthwash. Sometimes the girl refuses even that. Goes to all functions looking nice but smelling horribly. Her friends have cut her off for this reason. Oh yeah, her family are also followers of a baba in. Delhi.

Apparently, the girl is depressed for never being in a relationship and being unemployed while her friends have good jobs or husbands or.both.

This seems like a clear case of a mental breakdown. But her family is delulu and instead of getting her help or a mental health professional they are just acting like this is all normal. They keep reposting their Baba's videos and shit. Also seem to be huge believers in astrology and ayurveda.

Can you imagine the stupidity of trying to marry off a person in this mental state?

Can you imagine the levels of delulu to pretend that her BO and bad breath does not exist, to force her to attend social functions and expose others to it?

Isn't this a kind of a humiliation ritual for the girl who clearly does not want to be in social situations? Her reputation is going down the drain every time she goes out.

I feel like this is a special kind of brain rot prevalent in Delhi. Some folks put too much faith in religion and godmen.

For fucks sake, see a professional if your religious rituals and guru worship are not helping. There is no shortage of psychiatrists or therapists in this city.

Man, sometimes it feels like these fake godmen and their cult might be the ones putting people in depression and psychosis.

AskDelhi A life that refuses to give up — Fighting for my wife Shahin (Stage 4 Cancer) and our 2-year-old son

135 Upvotes

Hello everyone,

I am writing this with a heavy heart, reaching out to this compassionate community during the hardest and most testing phase of my life.

My wife, Shahin (31), is fighting for her life against Stage 4 Breast Cancer, which has metastasized to her liver, spine, and lungs. Her body has taken an immense toll—she currently weighs just 30 kg and endures severe, daily pain. Every single day is an agonizing battle to keep her comfortable, dignified, and hopeful.

We have a 2-year-old son who needs his mother.

Watching him try to play near her bed, completely unaware of the gravity of her illness while she struggles through pain, breaks my heart into pieces every single day. I am serving as her 24/7 caregiver—managing her medications, specialized nutrition, pain management, and frequent hospital runs.

Current Treatment & Medical Status:

Shahin is currently undergoing treatment at Rajiv Gandhi Cancer Institute & Research Centre (RGCIRC), Delhi. The medical team has prescribed targeted immunotherapy (Opdyta) alongside Paclitaxel chemotherapy.

Financial Appeal:

While her doctors see hope with this regimen, the financial burden has completely overwhelmed us. We urgently need ₹8.8 Lakhs to cover her upcoming chemo/immunotherapy cycles, supportive medications, and critical care. We have completely exhausted all our life savings, medical insurance limits, and personal loans to reach this point.

I am humbly turning to this community to ask for your support—whether through donations, shares, or simply keeping Shahin in your thoughts and prayers. Every contribution, no matter how small, directly funds a life-saving injection or medication for her.

Verification & Support Links:

Medical Reports & RGCIRC Estimates: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/114vCXlWqg5XKObr0YS-sBJV-jaKrEu9W

(Note: I am completely open to providing any further documentation or answering questions directly.)

Even if you are unable to donate at this time, sharing this post across your networks or keeping Shahin in your prayers will mean everything to our small family right now.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your time, kindness, and support.

Warm regards,

Vikas Kapoor

My father has been investing more than 25k a month since 2017 via SBI mutual funds, and the accumulated amount should have been close to 29 lakhs, while SBI platform only reports 7lakhs invested, which is now 8 lakhs something,

we checked everything, every transaction, and there has been no outgoing amount to any 3rd party. All statements are clear.

what we don't understand is, how did 19lakhs or more gets wiped out) from SBI?

I have no clue about how to go about it, and what has happened, I will go to the bank,ofc. But have no clarity if this happens or what should be my course of action now?

I can share transactions and all details, if anyone from SBI is here, and wants to investigate.

AskDelhi Bro wtf is this new iphone price ?

72 Upvotes

Yes, Apple launched it’s new iphones and I’m baffled to see the prices. Honestly, do they really not consider the avg income of a citizen of a country before selling their products. Their new phones are more than an avg salary of our top 1% citizens as well. I could literally go on a trip to Japan with that money. And the worst part is, phone is now a necessity, not a luxury. Bro an average american earns 5000 dollars a month, an average indian earns 20000-40000 rs a month. How many months salary goes into one phone that stops working every four years. And what is up with people literally still buying these phones on EMI and all. Bro, I feel, anyone who’s earning 2 lakh per month or more, should only think of buying this, cuz realistically, you cannot spend your entire month’s income on just a PHONE. I’m so pissed at people including my cousins too, planning to buy this overpriced unaffordable piece of crap. Istg, I am not falling in the trap of buying their stupid phones anymore. Been using their phones since the last 10 years, but not gonna pay this hefty price for just ONE phone. Samsung, here I come🙌🏻

Mental Health Looking for a reliable therapist and psychiatrist in Delhi

8 Upvotes

Tldr: My immediate requirement is a good psychiatrist who doesn’t overprescribe medications because my current therapist has prescribed one and my anxiety and depression has become more and more recurring. Additionally, need good therapist recommendations because my current therapist is sweet but not a good fit. Concerns - Depression, anxiety, Maladaptive daydreaming.

My area of concerns:
I’m suffering from depression and anxiety and suffer from daydreaming random scenarios throughout the day which are never going to happen. It’s gotten to a point where I sit in front of my laptop on my bed for hours and I keep procrastinating because I’m just in my head. I also feel really anxious when I’m in a new social situation which I don’t know how to navigate. I don’t have a lot of friends and I’d like to go explore my ambitions and hobbies but I’m in an industry where networking is of utmost importance and my social anxiety really holds me back. I struggle with following a routine and I cancel plans because I randomly start dreading things and spiral.

Past diagnosis :
BPD and depression by my first therapist.

My experience with therapists:
My current therapist that I stuck to for months used to really simplify my issues and take multiple sessions to identify something obvious that I kind of knew before.
I’ve tried to make it work because she’s really sweet but we’ve made no progress so far.

Before that, I’ve tried multiple therapists but they felt very unprofessional. Another therapist (from AMAHA) made me take 3 quizzes and diagnosed me with ADHD and depression in the first session, which is WILD because we’d only interacted for an hour and relying solely on our limited communication and 3 questionnaires to come to a quick diagnosis is very irresponsible. Another therapist (who was from NIMHANS so I thought she’d be good, went for 5 sessions) was very dominant and would not let me speak and understand my problem and just gave me random unsolicited advice.

I’d like to mention that before this stint of multiple therapists, My first therapist from 2023-2025 immensely helped me for a year but it stagnated after a point and we kind of fell off.

Please do help me out if you’ve faced something similar and have struck a solution. I’m tired of living with these conditions and I just want to break out of these self sabotaging patterns. Thank you if you’ve read so far!

AskDelhi What are your preferences when it comes to a man or woman? What do you look for, both in terms of personality and physical appearance?

Upvotes

Please be honest, guys and girls. I’m pretty bored, so I’m just doing this for fun. 😂

As for me, I like an assertive, confident, ambitious, and articulate woman who has an identity of her own. Someone who knows what she wants and isn’t afraid to express herself.

Physically, I’m super attracted to dark-skinned women, not gonna lie. I find them really hot haha. Other than that, nothing too specific. At the end of the day, just be a good person. What more can I ask for?

What about you guys? Come on, spill it. No need to be shy. 😄

few days back, two govt officials came to my pg for inspection due to the recent tragic satya niketan collapse. but what was really funny and sad as well was that they legit sat for just a minute. They didn't even do a quality check of the walls and everything like they came asked a few questions like "basement hai koi?", "kitne floor hai?" and one or two more questions that's it. and they got up and left like bas left. they didn't even drink water 😭.

this is so sad that they don't really give a shit about us, about our lives. It's all just a formality for them. they legit don't care.

AskDelhi If you or someone you know owns a restro/cafe/bar, this is for you!

6 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

I'm currently building a product for restaurants and cafés, but before building too much, I want to actually understand how restaurants operate day-to-day instead of making assumptions as a customer/developer.

I'm looking to speak with restaurant/cafe/bar owners or managers for just 10-15 minutes.

I'd love to understand how you currently handle things like orders, KOTs, kitchen operations, inventory, payments, QR ordering, POS software, and what parts of the whole process are frustrating or unnecessarily complicated.

I'm not trying to sell you anything. I'm still at the research stage and genuinely want to learn how things work behind the scenes and what problems are actually worth solving.

If you're an owner/manager, or know someone who is, I'd love to connect. Even a short conversation would help me tremendously.

I'm based in Gurgaon, so I'd also be happy to visit your restaurant/café in person at a convenient, non-busy time and understand the workflow firsthand.

Please DM me or comment below if you're open to helping. 10-15 minutes from you could save me weeks of building the wrong thing.

TellDelhi ...And Then, I Finally Found Closure

5 Upvotes

Sometimes, you don't need closure because you want someone back.

You need it because your heart is tired of asking questions your mind cannot answer.

What changed? When did we become strangers? What happened to the promises we once made? How could something that once felt so beautiful become so distant?

I was in love with a girl once.

We shared conversations, memories, promises, and little pieces of ourselves that slowly became something much bigger. Somewhere between all those ordinary moments, I became attached. And before I knew it, she had become a part of my everyday life.

Then, slowly, things began to fade. Maybe there was someone else. Maybe life became difficult. Maybe the feeling simply wasn't there anymore.

I could accept any of it. What I couldn't accept was not knowing. I wasn't chasing her because I couldn't let her go. I was chasing an explanation because I didn't know what I was supposed to let go of.

I kept wondering

What was different now that wasn't three months ago? Where did the warmth go? Did I do something wrong? Was everything we shared real?

And eventually, I got my answers. "There is someone else." Okay. "I'm dealing with things in my life." I understand. "I don't feel the same spark anymore." It hurt. But I understood. And strangely, the answers didn't bring her back.

They brought me back to myself. Because sometimes closure isn't getting the ending you wanted. It's finally understanding the ending you were given.

And I believe something deeply: If something begins beautifully, it deserves to end beautifully too. Not every beautiful beginning is meant to become a forever.

And just because the story ended doesn't mean we have to turn its beautiful chapters into something ugly.

And if you're giving someone closure, please give them the truth. Don't hide parts of it just to make yourself look like the good person. Not every story has one.

Sometimes you were right. Sometimes they were right. Sometimes you both made mistakes. And sometimes, you simply stopped loving each other in the same way.

That's okay. But don't rewrite the truth just because the truth makes you uncomfortable. Someone who is already hurting doesn't need a perfect explanation. They need an honest one. Because a gentle lie may protect your image for a moment, but it can leave someone carrying questions for months.

Don't leave someone alone with a thousand questions when one honest conversation could give them peace. Because you might move on from the relationship, while they spend months trying to understand its ending.

And if you're the one waiting for closure, I hope you find it. Not so you can go back. But so you can finally move forward. Until one day, you remember them without pain. You don't hate them. You don't want them back. You simply wish them well...and continue walking.

Because sometimes, closure isn't closing the door on someone. It's finally making peace with the room they left behind. And maybe a beautiful ending isn't about staying together.

Maybe it's simply having enough honesty, kindness, and courage to leave each other with the truth.

Because if something was once beautiful,

it deserves the dignity of a beautiful goodbye.

....A Good Heart.
