When I saw the recent post on WSIF associate, I thought of applying as I really liked this group from the beginning. I often shared my stories and loved to help others whose life story is similar to mine. WSIF easily turned to my second home, where I felt safe and shared my stories without being judged. 

The post regarding WSIF associate made me realize I will be part of the big revolution working on mental health, spreading mental awareness and helping many souls. I felt overwhelmed and sincerely answered all the 4 questions, hoping to get a reply. And finally I received an email from Koly apu..!!! Although I didn’t notice the email, until Sabrina apu pinged me to check my email. I was worried then and felt a bit guilty, being diagnosed with OCD and high level of anxiety made me obsessed and worried at the same time. What have I done, why have I missed the email among pile of my other emails. But anyway, everything turned out well. Koly apu assigned my responsibilities to me and I felt happy and overwhelmed as if I am on cloud nine. Every time I have a bad day at my work by interacting, communicating and exchanging my knowledge with my teammates through the group chat lessens my stress and reading all the posts in WSIF group and helping other through my comments made me fell happy and thrilled with joy. It simply swiped all my stress away. I am glad to be part of such an amazing team with such a beautiful goal.
