During the second wave of COVID-19 lockdowns in Kathmandu, a journalist experienced a profound personal crisis triggered by a vivid dream of their grandfather. The author, who never met their grandfather, recalled that he died by suicide when the author's father was a child, a tragedy that later repeated with an uncle. Confined to a rented apartment, the writer began to grapple with deep-seated anxieties regarding their own mental health and potential inherited trauma. This period of isolation forced a difficult confrontation with subconscious fears and the weight of family history. The narrative explores the intersection of professional life and internal struggle, highlighting the psychological toll of the pandemic on individuals already processing complex emotional burdens. It serves as a reflective account of seeking self-discovery while navigating the uncertainty and confinement imposed by the global health crisis.
