Diagnosing which anxiety disorder you might have is usually conducted by a mental health specialist who will ask a series of questions in order to ascertain which criteria best fits the symptoms you describe experiencing. It is advisable to see your doctor first, so they can rule out any physical reasons for your symptoms and they can refer you to a mental health specialist. Using other methods to diagnose which anxiety disorder you might have is not advisable and isn’t considered a formal diagnosis.

Physical symptoms of anxiety sometimes can be same or sometimes can vary depending from person to person. Just like any other feelings, anxiety needs an outlet for release and hence, you experience physical symptoms. To determine which anxiety you have, you can consult me Or any other mental health practiconer as they will help you diagnose it and create a path of healing.

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・-11d

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 :)

Why do I sometimes find myself hoping my partner won't succeed in comforting me about my insecurities, like when I don't get that promotion at work or when I feel self-conscious about my appearance?

Hello , Fostering open communication with partner can help you build that trust and understanding, reducing the need for self sabotage. Addressing these conflicting feelings can lead to greater emotional resilience and healthier relationships.

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・-12d

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

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.

RC_Mayanka・-16d

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.

Popular opinion

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.

Psychologist_BhumikaSehra・-6d

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.

I am Shweta. My 16-year-old daughter has been really struggling with anxiety lately, having panic attacks and missing school. As her mom, I want to help but I'm at a loss for the right ways to support her through this. What are some effective coping strategies I can guide her towards? She shuts down when I try to talk about getting professional help. @vijaylaxmi

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

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.
