Hey, I haven’t come across such patients in my journey But these tips might help 1) building healthy habits such as regular physical exercise, adequate sleep and eating healthy diet 2) teaching clients to manage their emotions in a healthy way Example: practicing gratitude or relaxing techniques 3) encourage people to come out of boredom, stress or sadness by their hobbies such as painting, sports or cooking and developing healthy eating habits

Try talking to your senior and HR if possible, if you unsure about something its always better to have clear communication before hand and its better if they formally write about details of this exam on formal mail/letter

Hi there, I hope you are well. -Nutrition plays a key role in overall well-being. Each nutrient we consume is needed for nourishment of different organs and tissues. Hence, it is necessary to include a balanced diet which comprises of fibre, protein, and good fats. -Fibre is needed for improving digestion and for keeping your gut healthy.There is a link in between your gut and brain , and hence, fibre is necessary. Include wholegrains, vegetables, fresh fruits, beans, lentils to the diet. - Protein is needed for functioning of various hormones,wear and tear of muscles, and for nourishing each cell in the body.Include beans, lentils, dairy and dairy products, lean meat, nuts, and seeds to the diet. - Omega 3 fatty acids rich foods can improve your mood and facilitate better brain functioning. Nuts, seeds, fatty fish, eggs, avocado, olive oil are great sources of the same. - Include meditation, and yoga in your daily routine to combat stress. - Opt for a walk, and sleep well. Take care ✨

Seemachaudhary・-9d

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.

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・-22d

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. :)

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.

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.

NutritionistHudaShaikh・-10d

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 :)

Hello, I can understand that there are times when you feel so irritated with the people around you, and it does feel very difficult to deal with the situation. Always remember that you have to protect your own peace, and that's the only thing that matters. So try to move away from such situations in any way possible.

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

SwastiGenztherapist・-11d

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

Hii dear, firstly Identifying the root cause of your binge eating is crucial. Once you understand why you turn to food, you can begin addressing those underlying issues. Setting boundaries around your eating habits can help prevent impulsive behavior. Practicing mindfulness while eating encourages awareness of your body's hunger and fullness cues, promoting healthier eating habits.

Seemachaudhary・-7d

Firstly, Practice mindful eating, identify triggers, seek support from a therapist or support group, and focus on balanced meals and regular eating patterns.
