Being a woman is so much more difficult and a lot of troubles make life suck and it deeply affects mental health. Let’s understand how can we come over through such difficulties and make life worth living.

Ø Difficulties & the 3L rule:

A woman has to face a lot of discrimination throughout her life, she has to prove herself, and her worth and has to make a balance between personal and professional life. Sometimes women have to choose between family and career and honestly, it makes life miserable for women. Women have to go through social discrimination and there’s peer pressure in schooling and college life and then have career issues and later on marital responsibilities as well as maternal responsibilities. After marriage and having a baby, mostly, women forget that they also have a life, and they give up on their careers and education or learn new skills. Women take care of everything but forget that in between all of these responsibilities they are ignoring their life.

Due to responsibilities, women don’t have time for their personal space, and violence against women makes it worse for their mental health and leads them to anxiety, depression, lower self-confidence, irritability, and incessant tiredness.
