hi there, I'm a clinical psychologist and from experience I can tell you the navigating differences and beliefs about mental health, especially within our family, can be specially challenging. I would love to offer you a few suggestions to go about this in your own family. firstly, it is amazing that yourself informed and educated enough to know the importance of mental health, this can help you articulate your own perspective clearly. communicating with your family can be difficult, but we should always remember to show empathy and my suggestions to you would be to use " I " phrase such as " I understand where you are coming from but I feel overwhelmed when I can't express myself" this seems to take the blame away from them and puts your own needs as a priority. setting boundaries is another thing that I would love to talk to you about as it is important for any healthy relationship. please feel free to reach out to me anytime you want and I would love to help you through these times

How do I navigate friendships that may be impacting my mental health negatively, and when is it okay to let go? @Chaitali_Hirani_psychologist
Hey there, hope you're doing well. Navigating confrontations in friendships can be tricky but you'll need to recognize signs of invalidation or even disrespect to know if the friendship is worth maintaining. Try having an open communication with your friend in case there are communication issues but if you still don't feel validated, then you need to realise that it might not be beneficial to you to stay in that relationship. You can set boundaries and let them know what behavior of theirs is unacceptable to you. Self care should be a priority even in case of friendships. You can also talk to a therapist who can help you with assertiveness and boundary setting.
Anonymous10d
Hi, you could begin by assessing how the friendship affects you, noting signs of toxicity such as persistent negativity or manipulation. Clearly communicate your boundaries and seek support from trusted individuals. If your efforts to address the issues with your friend are not successful it may be appropriate to consider ending the friendship. Remember, choosing to distance a is decision to prioritize your mental health and surround yourself with positivity. Trust your instincts and prioritize self-care as you navigate this process.

Mengapa seseorang bisa selalu ingin mencari tempat untuk menyendiri? Apakah ini ada hubungannya dengan kesehatan mental?
Anonymous-6d
introvert ga suka keramaian biasanya sih
Anonymous-6d
Seseorang mungkin selalu ingin mencari tempat untuk menyendiri karena mereka membutuhkan waktu untuk merenung, memproses pikiran, atau hanya untuk mendapatkan ketenangan. Hal ini bisa berkaitan dengan kesehatan mental karena menyediakan kesempatan untuk mengurangi stres, mengatur emosi, dan meningkatkan kesejahteraan secara keseluruhan.

Lately, I’ve been spending a lot of time alone, and I’m starting to wonder if it's unhealthy to be alone for a long time. I enjoy my own company and it feels peaceful, but I don’t want it to negatively impact my mental health or social life. How much alone time is too much, and when does it start becoming unhealthy? Any advice or personal experiences would really help.

you need a financial independent life..
Hello Dear. I'm a Consultant Psychologist and Sexual Health Expert. If you are introvert, that might be your way of recharging. It's okay as long as it doesn't affect you emotionally. I would say, atleast having a support system and spending time with them once a week is important. And it would also be better if you go out for walk or gym or grocery store for 30 mins a day even by yourself is okay. But that's good for your mental health.
