Mental Health: How I burst my myths?
For someone who grew up in a village, words like depression, disorder, or mental health were rare and only heard in movies or the news. I wasn’t an exception until my mom was diagnosed with major depression disorder. Though this changed my perspective to some extent, I still believed that it was rare.
But when I got into mental health issues, I realized that a lot of my beliefs about mental health were just misconceptions. My recovery journey helped me to break a lot of myths I had earlier. I shared a glimpse of my journey along with some of the learnings.
Preparing for CKA
Usually, my conversations with friends start at one end of the world and end at the otherside. It was nothing different at that time. We were seriously discussing certifications and blaming the industry for using it as a checkbox. The discussion took a U-turn, and we started debating how useful it could be. This led to checking what are the vauable certifications which are really valued by the industry and we zeroed in on Linux foundation certifications. We decided should try one their certifications and we chose Certified Kubernetes Administrator. I volunteed to be the guinea pig then I immediately purchased the exam.
