2.⁠ ⁠⁠Kusha Kapila and Uorfi discuss Trolling, Criticism, and Mental Health

In conversation with Uorfi on her new podcast, Uncancellable with Uorfi Javed, Kusha spoke at length about her journey through mental health challenges, sharing her experience with therapy. She disclosed, “My therapist told me I have traits very similar to a high-functioning depression” and advised activities to overcome the slump at work and incorporate some sense of routine into her life.

Kusha recounted how a distressing trolling incident led her to therapy. “It feels like a bullying episode in school, where 10 other kids are pointing at you and laughing. And the criticism is never on your work, it’s on how you look, your body, your weight”. Therapy helped her sort out other challenges as well, “I had an undiagnosed ADHD. My therapist said, I was still able to navigate my life and found my own system, so it wasn’t an issue. But it’s always good to know why you behaved a certain way in your childhood and as an adult. So it helped”. “But I feel nobody should be forced into therapy, Nobody should be forced into looking for answers”, she advised Uorfi.

Talking about her personal experience, Uorfi said, “I am just very scared honestly, I don’t know what is this thing holding me back, I just feel I am not a very emotional person, I’m very detached”, sharing that she won’t be able to disclose her emotions even in front of her therapist.
