I’ve been in India for three days now with my family and I absolutely cannot stand it. My sister and I have cried every single day so far, almost non stop, at the absolute poverty around us and the piles of rubbish and dirt, the stink of the city, the staring strangers, the honking from cars making it impossible to sleep, as well as much more. I haven’t slept properly in 4 days now (including the flight down) and I cannot stomach anything because of stress. Everything is so loud and scary and I do not feel safe at all. Even in my room there are loud knocks and bangs and I cannot rest. I feel extremely disgusting, partly from lack of sleep, but also from the extreme pollution in the air and walking through dirty alleyways to get to places. I’ve seen people pooing on the streets, pissing everywhere, people dragging themselves around and just general unhappiness/lack of awareness or hygiene.
I came here with so much excitement and with an open mind but now I cannot wait to leave this horrible place. I’ve been literally counting down the days and seeing if there’s a way I can prematurely end this trip.
I was wondering if there was anything I could do to perhaps change my mind on the country, or how I can endure the stay without feeling sick with fear everytime I leave my room.
