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.

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.

My friends straight up don't listen to me when I'm venting or sharing my problems. They zone out, change the subject, or give shitty advice that shows they weren't even paying attention. It's pissing me off feeling dismissed like that by people who are supposed to be my girls. How do I get through to them and make them actually hear me out without invalidating how I feel?
Its better to stay with less friends then the friends who dont value your feelings, nevertheless, confrontation of how you feel can also help to either break off or bring you closer
Just go and have a straightforward conversation with them. Just vent out everything to them about how you have been feeling. If they are your true friends then they will definitely understand you.

I struggle with emotional eating during stressful times. What strategies can I use to manage this better ?
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.
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 :)

Just started college and already facing some serious homophobia from my classmates. They keep making jokes and spreading rumors. I don't want to tell my parents yet, but this is starting to affect my mental health. Any advice on how to handle this?
Anonymous-13d
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
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
Anonymous-17d
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-17d
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.

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.

Hello, I'm Ananya Singh, a dedicated psychology expert with over 2 years of experience in the field. My passion lies in helping individuals navigate through various life challenges and enhancing their mental well-being. Over the past two years, I have had the privilege of working extensively with adolescents, adults, and middle-aged adults. Mental health has often been neglected, and one of my primary motivations for becoming a psychologist. I love helping people and understanding their problems. I have been studying psychology for the past 7 years, and I have never been as passionate about anything else as I am about psychology. As I delved deeper into the field, I recognized that I, too, had my own mental health challenges, including self-esteem and anxiety issues. Before I started counseling others, I sought therapy myself and worked through my personal struggles, which reinforced my commitment to helping others. My expertise covers a wide range of issues, including relationship problems, breakups, marital conflicts, body image concerns in women, self-esteem issues, comparisons with the unrealistic standards set by social media, spouse-related issues, and the pervasive struggles with anxiety and depression, particularly among young women. My approach is empathetic and tailored to each individual's needs, ensuring a safe and supportive environment for healing and growth. In my practice, I have conducted over 200 hours of counseling sessions, predominantly with women of all ages, helping them overcome their struggles and achieve a balanced mental state. Whether you're dealing with personal issues, emotional distress, or seeking guidance for better mental health, I am here to assist you on your journey to well-being. I look forward to connecting with you and providing the support you need to thrive.more

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
