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

Ya ,I agree with Pinal. You should talk to some professional if you feel are compelled to do things again and again.

I'm really sorry to hear that you are going through this. It's great that you have a supportive friend like Sarah who noticed and reached out to you. Opening up about what you are experiencing is a positive step towards seeking help. Here are a few suggestions on what you can do to address OCD and work towards feeling better: 1. **Seek Professional Help:** Consider seeking support from a mental health professional such as a therapist or a counselor. They can provide you with coping strategies, techniques, and possibly therapy to help manage your OCD symptoms. 2. **Educate Yourself:** Learn more about OCD. Understanding the condition can help you recognize your triggers, manage symptoms, and communicate your needs effectively to others. 3. **Consider Medication:** In some cases, medication prescribed by a healthcare professional can help manage the symptoms of OCD.

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. :)

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
