You would require some grief counseling to come to terms with this, if you are not able to do it on your own. Also depends on how long it has been since the incident.

Balanced diet, rich in fruits, veggies, whole grains, lean proteins, and healthy fats, supports mental health. Include mood-boosting foods like omega-3s, magnesium, and zinc. Avoid excess caffeine, sugar, processed foods. Hydration and mindful eating help too.

My friends straight up don't listen to me when I'm venting or sharing my problems. They zone out, change the subject, or give shitty advice that shows they weren't even paying attention. It's pissing me off feeling dismissed like that by people who are supposed to be my girls. How do I get through to them and make them actually hear me out without invalidating how I feel?

Its better to stay with less friends then the friends who dont value your feelings, nevertheless, confrontation of how you feel can also help to either break off or bring you closer

theintrovertgirl・-7d

Just go and have a straightforward conversation with them. Just vent out everything to them about how you have been feeling. If they are your true friends then they will definitely understand you.

Hi girls, have you ever wondered why we choose to live? I mean, think about it. Every day, we wake up, go through the motions, and face all kinds of stress and uncertainty. We know life is finite, that we're going to die someday, yet we keep pushing on. Why? What's the point? I am currently in this situation, don't know what to do and what the point of living is.

I am Pragya Arora, a clinical psychologist and I have got you covered! It’s only natural to ponder the purpose of life. The finite nature of life makes it precious, encouraging us to make the most of our time, create experiences and leave an impact. Why don’t you connect with me to explore your feelings deeper and find your purpose?

Psychologist_BhumikaSehra・-24d

Hey there It's quite human to question sense of purpose in life and it can get exaggerated when we're not finding hope or solutions to some problems. Being a part of the human experience is the bar to develop a sense of hope We all strive to have a better quality of life and get the worthwhile experience of existence. If you're struggling with finding sense of purpose, try to explore your goals and your dreams for your life and reflect on your past to plan your future. We know that one day it'll come to an end, but we can atleast make the journey exciting so as to leave a soul print. :)

3. Navigating Dating & Relationships: – Begin with self-attunement: explore what you value and need in a relationship. – Healthy boundaries and open communication are key — and so is recognizing red flags early. – Therapy can help process relational patterns, especially if there's a history of trauma or attachment wounds. 4. Exploring Alternative Treatments: – Integrative approaches like yoga therapy, mindfulness meditation, Ayurveda, or reiki can complement clinical work. – However, always consult a trained professional to ensure these are safely integrated, especially if you’re also on medication. 🌼 Remember: Healing and growth are not linear. Being curious, kind, and consistent with yourself makes a world of difference. You're not alone, and help is always available. If you’d like, we can explore a personalized plan together. 💬 Warmly, Yogita Rathore Psychologist | Manovigyanika

RelationshipCoach_YRathore・-24d

Here are some effective approaches for a woman aiming to enhance productivity, manage depression, navigate dating, and explore holistic healing: 1. Managing Depression: Depression is not a weakness — it's a clinical condition involving mood, cognition, and even physical health. Evidence-based therapies like CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy), ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy), or even psychodynamic therapy can help uncover root causes and build resilience. For some, medication can be a helpful support alongside therapy. 2. Improving Productivity and Growth: – Create realistic routines that align with your energy levels. – Use the “5-minute rule” to get started on tasks when motivation is low. – Practice self-compassion, especially on hard days. – Journaling, therapy, and goal setting can foster deep self-awareness and consistent growth.

I'm deeply sorry to hear about the immense pain and suffering you're experiencing. t’s crucial to prioritize your mental health and well-being during this incredibly time.Establish a strong support system by reaching out to friends or family members who can offer emotional support, and consult with a lawyer to understand your rights regarding the divorce and potential legal support against the mental torture.Set clear boundaries by limiting contact with people contributing to this stress and create a comforting space for yourself, focus on future,small achievable goals.Prioritize self-care by creating a calming bedtime routine to improve your sleep quality,Incorporate mindfulness meditation and relaxation techniques such as deep breathing exercises to manage stress.Journaling your thoughts and feelings can be therapeutic, and practicing daily gratitude can help shift your focus towards positive aspects of your life. Pl remember healing takes time and you deserve compassion. Stay strong

First of all, please inform your family about what all is happening to you in your husband's home.. please don't hide anything. Mental stress is always fatal for the baby in the womb. How insanely toxic are the people who were troubling you even during the time of pregnancy. Also, your first focus should be you now. Please dont lose yourself in pleasing others. Make your husband understand in the presence of your Folks. And take a final decision. Never settle in the home where you fail to get basic respect. Life is not just about a toxic marriage.
