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?

To break free from feeling guilty about self-care, remind yourself that taking care of your mental well-being is essential for overall productivity and happiness. set boundaries to prioritize your needs without guilt.

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.

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.

my friend texted me and told me that she is feeling sad, but i did not know how to react to it. can someone plz tell me what do i say if someone says they are not feeling good and are sad??
ask your friend some basic questions like "is something bothering them? or "do they want to talk about the situation why they are feeling so? or be empathetic and ask them if they would want to go out to change their mood and do something crazy?"

i fear rejection a lot. I hate getting that nervous feelijg..What can i do to reduce this fear of mine?? What would you as a women suggest??
remember that rejection isn't about you, it's about the other person not able to connect with you the way you want to. it's associated with self-worth so I suggest working on self-worth. be more compassionate about yourself. rejection doesn't mean you're bad, negative experiences, can cause the fear.

what is emotional loneliness?? Is it any different from normal loneliness that we feel??
Two things: Loneliness and being alone. I could be living alone and on my own. Or I am shopping alone or watching movie alone. Because I am enjoying my company. But loneliness is when I am not being able to connect with anyone. I feel disconnected. I want to reach out to others but as if I can't. I have people around me but as if they don't get me and I am in my shell. Enjoying one's company is not bad. But point is, which one are you?

as a psychologist, if you would had to tell one reason why someone starts feeling lonely, what would it be??
Either you don't know how to be with yourself because you're looking for validation in the outside world always, or you're surrounded by people who don't make you feel valued or loved

Hi, everyone, I’m Yogita Sapra, a psychologist! I’m thrilled to be here with all of you today. My journey to becoming a psychologist started when I was young and witnessed the struggles my family faced with mental health challenges. One defining moment for me was when a close family member went through a difficult time and struggled to find the right support. I saw firsthand how much of an impact understanding and compassionate care could make. That experience ignited my passion for psychology and inspired me to pursue a career where I could help others navigate their own mental health journeys. Through years of study and practice, I’ve learned how powerful our minds are in shaping our overall well-being, and I’m excited to share tools and strategies that can help you lead a more balanced, fulfilling life.more
