  • Gain comfort knowing you're not alone
  • Support mental health advocacy
  • Receive an exclusive essay available only through pre-order

About This Collection

MyndStories brings together voices from India in Our Stories Are Us - an eclectic collection of honest stories. These are voices that have faced anxiety, depression, trauma, and found their way back to light. Or perhaps, not. But to stay in the dark is also part of the story. Each story is written in the first person, offering an intimate look at the struggles and triumphs of real people. This anthology will inspire, challenge, and comfort you.

A taste of what's inside

Every essay in this anthology begins the same way: with a real person deciding that their story was worth telling. Here is one of them.

“Grief is the whisper of a name that nearly rolls off your tongue before you remember there is no one left to answer. It is the spot next to you on the pillow, no longer warm, no longer inviting. It is those unfinished conversations, the thing you saved to tell someone. People say time heals. But it doesn't. It merely rearranges grief into something you can carry, instead of a dead weight around your chest”

Sumit Singla
