This is Waqas Raza, a 30-year-old man from Multan…
Worked in real estate, probably had dreams, maybe plans…
But one quiet day, sitting alone in his office, he sent a final message in the family WhatsApp group:
"Come and collect my dead body from my office"
Right there in front of him—pending files, future plans, maybe a cup of chai gone cold...
But the board behind him said something that hit deep:"WHEN YOU TAKE OWNERSHIP OF ALL YOUR FLAWS AND WEAKNESSES, YOU'VE WON."
But what do we call this?
Victory? Or surrender to a battle no one knew he was fighting?
No one really knows what exactly pushed him to that edge,
But one thing’s for sure—this isn’t just Waqas story.
It’s the story of millions of men.
Men who silently scream, men who carry burdens too heavy to explain.
Men who were taught "mard ko dard nahi hota"...
But bhai, mard ko bhi dard hota hai, aur kabhi kabhi woh dard usse maar daita hai.
Here’s the truth:
80% of suic!de victims are men.
4 times more than women.
Why?
Because society raised them to be silent warriors.
Because expressing pain became weakness.
Because tears were never for men.
Because no one teaches boys how to feel—just how to tough it out.
Mental health isn't gendered.
It doesn’t check if you're a provider or protector.
It just eats you alive, quietly.
I don’t know where Waqas is now…
But I just hope, wherever he is,
He finally found the peace this world didn’t let him have.🕊️
