Curiosity is considered as a mental illness, then that's what causes people to ask a lot of questions. I don't think that wanting to know more is a mental illness. In fact, I'd say that failing to ask a lot of questions is a mental illness. There is a notation in our society that someone asking too many questions has some problem. Why is curiosity mixed with mental health? @nnikittadudannii

Intellectual curiosity is generally regarded as a positive and enriching trait that contributes to personal growth, cognitive development, and overall well-being. It is not considered a direct cause of mental illness or psychological problems later in life. In fact, intellectual curiosity is often associated with higher levels of engagement, creativity, and resilience. However, it is important to consider that excessive or unbalanced preoccupations with certain topics or intellectual pursuits can potentially have an impact on mental health. For instance, individuals who become excessively obsessed or preoccupied with certain subjects may neglect other important areas of their life, such as relationships, self-care, or responsibilities. This excessive focus can lead to social isolation, neglect of physical health, or difficulties in maintaining meaningful connections with others.

Curiosity itself is not a mental illness. It's a natural human trait that drives learning and exploration. However, excessive questioning or obsession with certain topics can sometimes be associated with mental health conditions like obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD).

I struggle with emotional eating during stressful times. What strategies can I use to manage this better ?
Identify your emotions and situations which leads you to unhealthy eating pattern and try to incorporate healthy alternative there. That's it! Then you are good to go girl.
Hi there, I hope you are well. If you struggle from emotional eating, during stressful times, then, here's what you can do. - Maintain a journal and jot down which food you are likely to crave during those times, whether it is salty, sugary, spicy, fried, etc. - Write the foods you are most likely to reach out to in case of a stressful situation. - Ask yourself as to whether you are hungry or trying to eat because you are stressed. - Learn to differentiate between physical hunger and emotional hunger. - Try to distract yourself by talking to a friend, listening to music, indulging in a hobby, some exercise, dancing, etc. - Avoid stocking unhealthy foods at home, and if you are likely to order online, then, delete foods apps completely. - Honour your cravings once a while, so that you don't end up Overeating whenever you are emotionally down. - Try to eat healthier alternatives of your favourite foods. - Opt for meditation or yoga as and when you feel emotionally stressed or drained :)

Just started college and already facing some serious homophobia from my classmates. They keep making jokes and spreading rumors. I don't want to tell my parents yet, but this is starting to affect my mental health. Any advice on how to handle this?
Anonymous3d
So first of all you should take help from your professor or some counselor who will help you in dealing with this problem. secondly if you feel like then you should share it with your parents. There is nothing wrong in that, instead they will support you and help you in this situation
Firstly thank you for sharing how you felt,secondly our culture in india is not queer affirmative but what we as individuals needs is acceptance of our own identity and am so glad you embrace it, facing bullying is difficult everyday i suggest talking to your counselor/therapist for helping you build resilience

Why does divorce/separation affect some women’s self-esteem and confidence? @RC_Mayanka
Anonymous-1d
Ofcourse maximum women has some expectations from the relationship, women might build up their future with that person. By separation or divorce, women couldn't see the future and their dreams suddenly.. it must be empty when the person goes off from the life. Coz of that emptiness women effects psychological disturbance. In that situation they feel lack of confidence or self esteem. How long it's continue will be depends on the person.
Marriage is not just a bond between two bodies....they get attached emotionally and mentally. Its is really difficult for a person to detach from someone you loved so much. When you are trying to give your 100 percent and your partner does not care about it. Then a women's self esteem and confidence shakes.

Whenever I take time for self-care or relaxation, I can't shake off this overwhelming sense of guilt. It's as if I'm letting everyone down by not constantly hustling and being productive. How do I break free from this toxic mindset and allow myself to prioritize my mental well-being guilt-free?
Hello there, you know when you fly in a plane , you are instructed that in case of emergency first put on your oxygen mask before helping others. Similarly when you are yourself not relaxed, and fulfilled how can you take care of others around you? So self care is not a luxury but a necessity. Hope this helps you with looking at self care from a different perspective.
Hey there! Hope you're doing well. I understand practicing self care can sometimes bring up feelings of guilt, it is something that we have been conditioned to not do in order to succeed in the hustle culture. However, I want to assure you that it is not selfish and if sometimes things get too heavy for you, it's okay to take time to refresh and recharge yourself. Try to challenge the distorted thoughts that contribute to your guilt and reframe and recognise what is essential for your overall health. You can also start with smaller acts of self care if big changes are overwhelming for you and then you can gradually work towards bigger changes.
