I’m Lathika, 24F from Bangalore.

Over the last few years, I’ve noticed how many startup founders silently struggle with stress, anxiety, fear of failure, loneliness, burnout, and emotional pressure. A lot of people talk about hustle and growth, but very few talk about the mental side of building something from scratch.

For the past few years, I’ve been offering online Threapy support sessions for startup founders — giving them a safe space to talk openly, express their thoughts, fears, and emotional exhaustion without judgment. Sometimes people don’t need advice; they just need someone who genuinely listens.

I’ve had conversations with founders dealing with:

• fear of losing everything
• loneliness during the startup journey
• burnout and pressure
• emotional breakdowns
• self-doubt and anxiety
• relationship and personal life imbalance because of work

And honestly, after just being heard, many of them say they feel lighter, calmer, and mentally relaxed.

I wanted to post this here because I know many founders silently go through these things alone.

If you’re building something and carrying too much mentally, you’re not alone.
