You don't need to feel ashamed, it's a really concern. Many women face this thing. You must come out and try to speak. Remaining silent won't help

It's always good to talk to an expert about this. it will reveal certain things that you may not be aware of and it will result in you taking actions towards your solution. Be positive and see what happens rather than concluding that nothing will happen..there is no question of feeling ashamed! You can use this platform too to make a start. There are Drs, mental health experts, join their community a ND ask your questions to start with. Tc, Preetha

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?
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 have gone through my child's death because of premature delivery. My husband is blaming me for that and taking a divorce from me. My all inlaws are against me. After marriage my husband and in laws started mentally torturing me .Nowadays I am dealing with lots of depression and stress. I am suffering sleepless nights. Please help me. How can I overcome the depression and stress caused by my husband blaming me for our child's premature death and my in-laws' mental torture, while dealing with sleepless nights and the threat of divorce?

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.

I am suffering with depression from past 10-12 years. I am taking regular psychiatric medicines also. But the major problem which I am facing in life is that I am having a vascillating mind. I am not able to stick to one plan for more than 2-3 days. I cannot follow anything religiously or with consistency. I lose my interest in anything I decide to do very soon. I can't even take bath daily because of mental lethargy. I have gained a lot of weight in these 10-12 years. It's 122 kg currently. I have tried meditation, yoga, walking, exercise everything. But I am not able to continue these things for a long time. I give up in 2-3 days everytime. I am 30 years old. I want to change my life. I want to get out of this vicious circle. How can I come out of it. Please widen my horizon about what is that is hindering in my life to move on and flourish and change. please advise and help me with your suggestions.
Hey there, thank you for sharing. Feeling like you've tried a lot of things and nothing working can be truly disheartening. It's understandable you feel frustrated and exhausted. I want to acknowledge the effort you've put in to find ways to feel better. It's definitely not easy. Since you've already been on medication for a long time, it's natural for your body to get resistant to it. Along with the meds, I would suggest to seek professional guidance from a psychologist for a fresh perspective. Sometimes a new perspective gives a glimmer of hope and might pave the way for your progress. Additionally, having a strong support system(friends, family) can also help you with motivation. Remember to be gentle with yourself during this challenging time, it's okay to take breaks and prioritize self care. Even though it might not feel like it now, things can change. If you want to explore further, you can get on a one-on-one call with me on the platform.

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.

So here's what happened. My best friend, Sarah, noticed I've been kind of… off lately. We were supposed to meet for coffee, but I kept canceling because I just couldn't leave the house. Finally, she came over, all worried, and that's when it all spilled out. The constant thoughts, you know, the ones that latch onto your brain and won't let go? Yeah, those. And the urges to do certain things, over and over, even if they make no sense? Turns out, it all has a name – OCD. what should i do to be better? @MindsightClinic
Hey! that's good to know that you are aware of a OCD which is obsessive compulsive disorder. But you cannot diagnose it on your own. I am an RCI licenced Clinical Psychologist and I have death with many clients who suffered from Ocd but are now completely fine. You can connect me on my live session and we can discuss your problem there.

It's a normal thing. many people have ocd these days. nothing to be afraid of. You should consult a mental health professional who might help you in dealing with OCD.
