Hi Naved,


I understand what you are feeling. There are too many things piled up in your head and you are confused. You do not know whom to speak out. This leads to emotional disturbance's and crying is the way we release out this emotional distress.



Lets take each problem one by one :

  1. First thing in morning set a routine for meditation. Focus on taking slow deep breaths. feel the breathe passing in through nose and passing it out through mouth. This may help you relax and stop the anxiety. every time you feel like crying take a deep breathe and meditate.
  2. Analysing activity for Change :


When you say you have changed a lot i want you to be aware of what has changed in you and how much have you changed.

  • Just grab a book, make 2 columns : one side write subheading "Initial me" and another column "Current me" .
  • Give some 10 min time, think about it and write how many points you can think about in both columns.
  • After you have finished writing all points look at difference in both sides. See what has changed in you and what has led to this change.
  • Analyse is this change good or bad. if it's bad then how can you help yourself. what can you do to make it right.


This will give you a clarity of why do you feel so depressed and what is troubling you.


3.Set a goal and focus on one thing at a time

I want you to set a goal for everyday. This will objectify of what you want to do. It will help you to concentrate on one task in hand and be focussed on it. set a timer like say 20 min for so so task so that your attention doesn't get deviated .


4. Loneliness is linked to low self esteem and self confidence. Self care is really important.

  • Start doing things what you like or hobby like painting, music which is stress buster.
  • Write Positivity journal. Initially write one or two good things you see in yourself everyday. Like you can write i helped so and so so i feel i am very helpful or i helped a person at work. Anything positive you see in yourself you write it for a week. After a week read out the entire week's positivity. Notice the goodness in you.
  • Along with self positivity you have to even state positivity in others. Like be thankful to any person you come across who has done something good for you or made you happy. example there are few people who just smile at you everyday. Just tell them thanks for always smiling it makes me feel good. it brightens my day. This will help you even in making friends and along with it spread positivity. positivity attracts positivity.


I hope this would help you. Just understand happiness and feeling positive will take time . It will not happen overnight. Inculcating these points in your daily routine will eventually help you in feeling good . If you need therapy you can reach me at veena.pragmatic@gmail.com

I get depressed too!!!don't get discouraged! it always seems to me that everything is very bad, I lie down, cry...and then I tell myself "pull yourself together urgently!" and everything works out. If I'm writing to you, you are not alone! If you want, tell me more about what happened ....

I want to support you so much, to give you confidence that everything will be okay in the end. When a person cries like this at night, they probably think that nothing can be fixed. Or that there's no way out. There's always a way out, just start thinking. Don't be afraid you're going crazy.

If a person feels that he or she is going crazy, not all is lost. A truly sick person often does not realize that he or she is sick. I had a crazy neighbor. There was no doubt in his mind that he was normal. He was very sure he was talking nonsense and thought it was important.

Hi! You must be feeling lonely because someone left you? Or left you for good? You must have something serious going on, if it's like you say....

Don't worry so much! I've had that, the feeling of loneliness. I cried, even though I was ashamed to admit it. Then I decided I'd had enough of being unhappy. I started solving my problems on my own, and the dream came back!

I think that when there's an unresolved issue that's keeping you awake, meditation is certainly cool. But just to become calmer for problem-solving orientation. There's no point in just being distracted by music. Write down on a sheet of paper all your disturbing thoughts in a row. you'll be calmer and you'll see what to work on.

People use me. Someone I know committed suicife yesterday I feel like crap I could have helped them. I feel like I’m a bad person and this world would be better if I was gone. I can’t leave my family can I? I also don’t want to go to hell as killing yoirself is a sin. But I don’t want to be here anymore? That’s why I want to die. My anxiety my stress is too much. I laugh all the time but no one knows what’s going on? I don’t really have friends people I know like me but I struggle to talk and find that I ruin peoples moods because I’m always angry or sad. I’m probably that girl people make fun of. Some guys in my school I’ve thought about wanting to hurt them so bad. The way they hurt me I want to destroy them. But no. I’m good to the one who is bad to me. Thank you for reading

I didn't have any hallucinations but I had paranoid delusions. By some psychiatrists my illness was diagnosed as Paranoid Schezophrenia but some other diagnosed it as psychtic depression. I am still using the medicine but since I stared respiridone it has controlled the delusion but has increased my aniexty and can't fall asleep easily and normally it took 2 or more hours to fall asleep after I go to bed. This year my mode has improved a little bit but not to big extent. My sleep is not normal and fatigue is hurting me and affect my daily and work life, low self esteem , lack motivation, foggy mind and poor decision making and anxiety and stress is major symptom at the moment. Please kindly help.

Stress

pls help i cannot think or do anything

so basically I have finished my high school and I am pursuing medical field (mbbs) and have to give a entrance test in 59 day.but I am experiencing the worst anxiety that I have faced uptill now I was typically a strong minded person who had never faced anxiety or depression in my life but something changed in corona days I had my first ever panic attack in those days and after that I was generally fine with little to no stress related to exams because I was doing well in them. in Pakistan we call 11th and 12th standard college and have to give state mandated exam in the end of it. In my 10 standard I had given a state mandated exam in which I scored 80 percent which was enough for me to get into a great college. uptill now my mental health was at its peak no stress no anxiety only good thoughts but when my 11th exam results were announced I got to know that I had scored only 73percent which is terrible and was almost lowest in the my friend group which completely shattered my heart and my confidence I went through a very rough patch and went into a slight depressive state which I could not brush off .now in may I just gave my 12 exam and I worked very hard in preparation and gave my best pulling all nighters studying 14-15hrs a day but It gave me terrible anxiety putting me in a state of question that is this enough will I score high will my score be enough to get a high merit as medical school is very expensive and seats which are subsidized by country are very limited. I spent the whole of June in depression and had a constant noise In my head to kill myself as if I can't pursue my dream then I am no use to myself or my parents and even with the subsidized seats it will cost my parents upwards of 2000000 rupees and I don't wanna waste that I wanna become a doctor but I can't make myself study for the MCAT due to my anxiety it's reached to a point that I can't even eat anymore and just today I only had breakfast and nothing else the whole day I lay down in my bed and scroll through social media platform to take my mind off this but I still wanna study to get good grades. ( sorry if in-between my sentence structure did not make sense as English is not my first language)
