Ira Khan, Aamir Khan’s daughter, has been vocal about the mental health struggles one faces while living their daily, regular lives.
She has also made it a point to let people who are struggling know that there’s always help around the corner, and that they should reach out to appropriate institutions whenever they struggle with their mental health.
Recently, on Instagram, Ira Khan once again opened up about her current state of mind, sharing a slide of thoughts and feelings about loneliness, helplessness, anxiety, and the ever-present feeling one gets when they look around at the state of the world.
It’s rare to see such honesty from public figures, and Ira Khan sharing her inner feelings with people everywhere does require a lot of gumption.
Taking to Instagram, Ira Khan wrote, “I’m scared. I’m scared of being alone. I’m scared of being helpless. And of feeling helpless. I’m scared of all the bad things in the world (violence, illness, apathy). I’m scared of being lost. Scared of being hurt. Scared of being muted.”
“Not always. Not every day. You’ll see me laugh, work, live. But when I’m scared… it cripples me.”
“Fear often feels worse than the thing itself. The tangible, we can overcome. The fear is endless and as powerful as our imaginations.”
Ira Khan continued, “I forget that I’m loved by very capable people who will find me if I’m lost. Take care of me if I’m hurt. I forget that I’m a capable person.”
“There’s not much to do about that. Fear has that effect. What helps me is to find someone else (or a song, movie, anything) that either physically makes me feel safe or reminds me of the things I’ve forgotten, giving me hope and patience for this fear to pass. Ideally, I do both.”
