Vyjayanthimala sings this song as she paddles a boat. \u201cBaithi hoon kab ho savera\u201d, she croons. Bad dreams can do precisely this to you \u2013 they can make you cry and paddle boats of sorrow as you wait impatiently and endlessly for morning to arrive. Recently, I had one such dream that left me gasping for breath.<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It went like this: Someone \u2013 I don\u2019t know who because I didn\u2019t see their face\u00a0 \u2013 pushed me inside a house. The house was small; so small that the walls were closing in on me. It had <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/love-and-sex\/mirror-sex-girlfriend-self-love\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">mirrors<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> for walls, so I could only see myself, no matter where I looked. I tried to move my hand but the house was so small that I couldn\u2019t even lift my hand. I remember thinking in my dream, what is the point of moving my hand anyway? The ceiling is jammed against my head, occupying the exact space of the shape of my skull. All I could do was cry and howl. Eventually, I couldn\u2019t breathe, first in the dream, and then in reality. So I woke up.\u00a0<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I didn\u2019t need any psychologist to interpret the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/sports\/france-belgium-world-cup-semi-final\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">nightmare<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> for me. I knew exactly what had prompted it: my recent visit to the hospital to explore the depths of an MRI machine. I am struggling with some spinal issues \u2013 pain in my lower back, intense numbness and heaviness in my waist and my legs \u2013 that are putting a real special spin on my <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/health\/sleeping-depression-relationship\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">depression<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. I have been seeing a neurosurgeon, gotten a spinal X-Ray done, and have taken medicines that didn\u2019t really help much, already. It is why he asked me to get an MRI, and to be honest, the prospect of that did excite me first.\u00a0<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The MRI machine was a subject of fancy since <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/humour\/group-tuitions-school-students-coaching-classes-childhood-nostalgia\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">childhood<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. I saw it being used in movies and it felt like a spaceship that could take me to another dimension. And in a way it didn\u2019t disappoint. It did take me to a new dimension, only it was a whole new dimension of my anxiety and paranoia.\u00a0<\/span>\n\n<blockquote class=\"quote--center\"><p>Eventually, I couldn\u2019t breathe, first in the dream, and then in reality.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The scan in particular, lasted for 50 unending minutes and was something nothing would have prepared me for. I was shoved inside the machine like bodies are shoved inside the furnace for electric cremations. The lab technician asked me to keep my eyes closed and to not move. Immobile, with my eyes closed, the dead body experience would have been complete if I could keep my brain drained of all my <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/health\/social-anxiety-interactions-people\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">anxious thoughts<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.\u00a0<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So I tried to think happy thoughts. Like the potential success of my book. How it could lead to movie deals. And about taking <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/outdoors\/young-adult-vacation-friends\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">vacations<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> in Europe with a guy I liked. Just when I was about to feel anxiety-free, my overactive brain interrupted the party. Suddenly, my focus was back to the noisy machine and my body\u2019s temperature started rising even though the AC was on full blast. No guy, no book could have kept me engaged but I tried. But nothing worked and I finally opened my eyes. They felt tired of being shut.\u00a0<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For a moment, I felt relief. I could see where I was. The heat was still building and <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/outdoors\/wanderlust-obsession-travel-bad-trip\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">travelling<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to my chest. Trigger warning shots were being fired by my brain, \u201cWake up, a heart attack is coming.\u201d I wiggled my toes a bit. \u201cThere are people in the room. They won\u2019t let you die,\u201d I consoled myself. I proceeded to then take several deep breaths and calmed down for ten seconds. \u201cIt will be over soon,\u201d I kept telling myself. Even when I tried wishing away my fear, it came right back. For a moment, I felt something crawling on my right hand. Was it a baby lizard that had managed to sneak inside the machine? What do I do? I wiggled my toes harder now. I stomped my feet on the machine. But no one noticed. I called for my mother, \u201cAai, how long do I have to stay in?\u201d I was met with no response.<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">By now I was completely paralysed by fear. I was banging my hands against the machine and started howling, \u201cAai, Aai, take me out, take me out now, I can\u2019t breathe\u201d until they pulled me out. The <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/social-commentary\/doctors-strikes-india-kolkata-nrs-hospital-violence\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">doctor<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> talked to me in a kind and calming voice and told me that I should go inside the machine for five more minutes. I spent each of those minutes counting seconds. And when I was told that I could go, I wiped my face, hugged Aai, rushed out of the lab, and refused to go inside my car for a while. I felt the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/pov\/mumbai-rains-monsoon-june-mumbaikar-floods\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">rain drops<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> falling over my face and they calmed me down but the trauma of the panic attack stayed with me. I took melatonin for my sleep and popped anxiety meds like candy.\u00a0<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That machine took me back to the time when I was five. My friend\u2019s <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/humour\/hamleys-ambani-future-grandpagoals\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">grandfather<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> forced himself on me and suddenly the large room he and I were in started feeling small. I called for help repeatedly but none came. In that moment, inside that MRI machine, I was that little girl whose almost lifeless body was on the floor, being violated.\u00a0<\/span>\n\n<blockquote class=\"quote--center\"><p>By making my pain public, I am unburdening myself of my trauma, at least a little bit.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It reminded me of a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/love-and-sex\/grieve-end-of-a-relationship-no-name-on-paper\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">relationship<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> I was stuck in, in my twenties. I wanted to escape but so deep was the trap of emotional dependence that I couldn\u2019t. Inside that MRI machine I was that young woman. That suffocation was so familiar and scary because not only had I lived with it all my life but I had also tried to break free of it.\u00a0<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The MRI machine was a time capsule. It made me journey through my childhood and my recent past, once again. It reminded me that those bits that hurt still live in me, those wounds are still raw. It made me realise that one can physically move away from <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/first-person\/fat-shaming-trauma-body-positivity-weight-loss-motivation\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">trauma<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> but you carry its psychological and emotional remains with you until your body is really ready to shed them.\u00a0<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The book I am writing is one way of shedding some of that baggage: By making my pain public, I am unburdening myself of my trauma, at least a little bit.\u00a0<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the last season of my <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/features\/drama-ipl-reality-show\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">favourite show<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> of all time, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Crazy Ex-Girlfriend<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, Rebecca, the main protagonist, is asked to pick between the three men she has loved in different phases of life and still loves because unloving is hard. But she can\u2019t come to a decision and keeps wondering why until through a dream, she realises that she can\u2019t pick a guy because she doesn\u2019t know herself yet. To make that life decision, to know what is right for you, you need to know yourself. Rebecca also struggles with Borderline Personality Disorder, Depression, and the one thing we all have \u2013 anxiety. But in that moment, the scene encapsulated all of my emotions post my MRI-trip: That dreaming of falling in love and winning book awards can only help me heal that much.\u00a0<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Like Rebecca, I have to pick myself first and find all my lost bits, piece them together, and become whole. Or else I will be spending my whole life being scared of myself. Isn\u2019t this what the dream and all the mirrors were trying to say? Isn\u2019t this why I was scared inside the machine? Because I was all alone with my thoughts? Maybe, this is the year of realisations: The year I get to wake up from a long <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/love-and-sex\/couple-fights-power-struggle-couch-bed\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">sleep<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and my limbs struggle with muscle atrophy. But if there\u2019s something I can say with certainty, it\u2019s that this pain is what healing looks like. Maybe, I have to keep feeling like this, until it is gone completely. And of course, avoid MRI machines.<\/span>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When I was five, my friend\u2019s grandfather forced himself on me.
