Thank you so much, your response is very helpful and nudges me to reflect. I live in a South Asian country and usually the culture here, especially because I grew up in a small city is about finding the one and settling in as these are largely the values I have grown up with - lot of...

What did I do that I did not like? I did not share honestly what I was bringing to the table and double checked before moving here eg. the debt i took to move, the shift to remote work etc What I want in life? I think I was clear I wanted to spend more time with her, I was looking for that...

so i had a heartbreak again, i was so happy - my body felt so validated, all of a sudden it felt that hey yes i can be loved. we met during a meditation course and everything flowed so naturally, i had sex for the first time and well it was funny because i could not feel anything inside of her...

How though? I live in Asia and here the culture is very different. The pressure of getting married by thirty. And I have no one around me I could call my chosen family..Guess will have to fight through that also.

so well, life feels meaningless at this point - things are not panning out the way I imagined since the last couple of months and well, i expected so. i expected life not to swing in the direction i planned and imagined and yet this uncertainity has weighed so heavy on my heart. until now i used...

Hahaha, bestttt! :)

:') I guess - hopefully I will feel peaceful from within again very soon.

so well i think the apt word to describe how i feel is an impostor - i just feel so angry and overwhelmed from within. Usually the last two years, my work day used to end by 5 PM in the evening and now it does not. It stretches a little bit. I feel terribly lonely to deal with this - it's not...

Thank you for sharing, this is very helpful.

Thank you, this is helpful.

How? When I feel so overwhelmed. Best I can do is slow down and survive and breathe and live. Is that okay? Is it okay to live a slow life where the goal is not #thriving and #hustling?

Does anyone else goes through phases of freeze when the weather changes? In the last thrity days I have gone through 10 degree celcius variance almost every ten days as I was travelling and once the trip ended - I have been feeling super overwhelmed and heavy. Very heavy so much that it has been...

That's what my therapist said, try and find more options, middleground. It's difficult and very scary. I have started traveling and being away for one-two weeks. I think that's a good start. I don't physically live with my parents. They live in the opposite flat. Made this shift last year...

I don't know. I understand how it has been the common route to navigate this problem and in past, it worked too - to a certain degree, when I went away to study at University for three - four years, I discovered a lot of me then and healed too. Lot of things broke down too after university - my...

Sorry, did not understand.. leaving from where I live currently you mean?

Yes... therapy is next week

it takes so much, so much effort to reach out to people. To just call friends and have a conversation. It's very difficult for me to initiate these conversations. I still tried today. I keep trying once in a while, everytime I find headspace. To call people I could have a good conversation...

In my therapy session today, somethings came up. First - feelings of anger, jealousy, sadness which I have experienced with respect to my past relationships with friends, family and romantically - before I understood what my own boundaries and non-negotiables are. Now ..i am really struggling...

I talked to my school friend about relationships today. It was very strange because - at twenty seven I have zero dating experience and he mentioned that he has slept with almost thirty women. It's just awkwardly strange. Because I get super emotionally attached at the very initial stages...

Feeling anxious and overwhelmed after a small fight with my father. He is bitter at times when I stop being the caregiver to him. I am trying really hard to build boundaries. These boundaries end up feeling like a prison because I am so used to being a caregiver and it gets awfully lonely and...

Have you tried building physical boundaries with your family

I hear you

So, this girl I really liked asked me yesterday to join for trip. I feel excited and overwhelmed. What if I start getting CPTSD related emotional flashbacks again - what will I do then? These flashbacks make me feel very abandoned and needy too and I feel I need someone to take care of me in...

I live with my brother and currently he is travelling for the next ten days. I have not really stepped out since Saturday, I did go out yesterday to watch a movie but today I have been just binging on Shark Tank India. Is that okay? Usually when I am home alone I experience a high libido too and...

I don't like the warts on my neck. Ig you are right though.
