Questions in this community
I am a college student. I have seen people around me whether it is my friends or families getting success in their life. Here I am struggling with finding the purpose of my life. I feel upset at times got not having a goal or purpose in my life. What can I do to find my purpose? Is it necessary to have one though? What are your views?
It's normal to feel lost sometimes, especially when surrounded by successful people. Finding your purpose takes time and self-reflection. Start by exploring your interests, values, and what brings you joy. Try new things, volunteer, or seek mentorship. Having a clear purpose can provide direction and fulfillment, but it's not mandatory. It's okay to focus on personal growth and enjoy the journey without a specific destination in mind.
Answer
Do you think that the environment in which you are working affects your mental health ? What if you are working in a toxic environment? How to get over it ?
A toxic work environment is one where negative, antagonistic, or bullying behavior is baked into the very culture. In a toxic work environment, employees are stressed, communication is limited, blame culture is rife, and people are rewarded (tacitly or explicitly) for unethical, harmful, or nasty attitudes and actions.

Answer
I experienced child abuse. My mother always beating me for no reason maybe just to relieve her stress.I runaway and now i am with an abusive husband . People ask why i still stay? Maybe because i grew up used to it. I am an independent and a confident woman before. I lost myself to the point i am not taking care of my appearance. Too lazy to shower even brushing my own teeth. I feel empty and suicidal every day. My only strenght is my baby with him and my loyal dog. Because of them i never gave up. Now i am planning to leave . To runaway again .I feel scared and sad . What should I do? @RiddhiDoshiP
You are incredibly brave for wanting to leave. Seek support from trusted friends, family, or helplines. Create a safety plan, pack essentials, and reach out to organizations that support survivors of abuse. You deserve to live a life free from harm.
Answer
I have a lot of scars on my body. Earlier I wasn't even concerned about them but when people starting commenting on them I became conscious and it severely affected my mental health. Now I have a poor body image and am unable to cope with it. What should I do ? How can I cope with it and bring back my positive body image ? @RiddhiDoshiP
It's tough dealing with scars and negative comments about your body. To cope and improve your body image, focus on self-care and self-love. Surround yourself with supportive people who accept you as you are. Practice positive self-talk and remind yourself of your worth beyond physical appearance. Engage in activities that make you feel good about yourself, like exercise or hobbies. Consider talking to a therapist who can help you work through your feelings and build confidence. Remember, you're more than your scars, and you deserve to feel good about yourself.

Answer
i believe my friend is suffering domestic abuse because she clearly looks very beat up (bruise and cuts all over her body), but she keeps denying it. How do I help her in this situation? @RiddhiDoshiP
It's important to be supportive and let your friend know you're there for her. You can gently express your concern and encourage her to seek help from a trusted adult, counselor, or domestic violence hotline. Let her know she doesn't deserve to be hurt and that there are people who can help her. Offer to accompany her if she feels comfortable seeking assistance. Remember to respect her decisions and boundaries, but continue to be a supportive friend.
