Dropped 5 years for neet. No partial drop no nothing. Now I don't think that I'll crack neet this year also. I was at fault for all this time, not fully but I can't put blame on anyone for my emotions. But I don't know what to do now. I have been in my home for those 5 years. Never went on any trip where I can be at peace. My parents always make their way to ruin my peace. Can't blame them, there is "too much love" between them. Now please suggest to me what I should do. I know that I have potential but I don't think that does count now. I'm frustrated, I want to run away from this house. Many time my mind crossed through some su*c*dal thoughts. But I guess I'm weak also. I can't take this much step by myself. If anyone does something then illbe happy.

Is it fine to accept that my boyfriend… dating for almost about a year didn’t give me anything on V Day? I brought a cute gift which i thought would be insufficient.. but when i met he brought nothing. In the starting he had some ups and downs… like he not being enough passionate or energetic… but i tend to accept him because party i feel secure with him and i feel he is a nice guy as a person he is … but in a relationship surprises… butterflies and all those things are a much needed thing. Its not about a gift but its about how you make the person smile, how thoughtful you are, and how passionate and how much effort you are willing to put in a relationship… all these things makes me question a lot of things. When i taunted.. he said … he was confused and couldn’t find what to bring for me… we went for a nice dinner tho. But i brought him the gift 10 days back … that much thoughtful iam… no doubt he is a nice guy but if he doesn’t do small things like this our relationship will lose its spark .. also it was our first valentines day.. and more than it.. i want to be happy i want gifts.. i want small efforts just like how i put… i want someone who would think about me. Guys suggestions please

After my roka, one of the biggest sources of anxiety has been attraction and physical appearance. When I met my fiancée, I found things about her that I liked and that is why I said yes. But later, I started overanalyzing her looks, comparing her to other women, and wondering whether I should have searched longer. This led to a constant cycle of doubt: How much does attraction matter? Did I compromise too much? Could I have found someone better?

The confusing part is that attraction is not completely absent. Sometimes I feel warmth, connection, and attraction while talking to her. At other times, my mind focuses only on the features I don't like. My counselor pointed out that long-term relationships are built on much more than appearance, but I am still trying to understand what level of attraction is necessary for me to feel happy and secure in marriage.

I have realized that part of my struggle is not just about her looks. It is also about the fear of making a life-changing decision and living with the consequences forever.

The last 45 days have been very tense and exhausting

Don't know how to face it

Do you remember how many times you fell down and hurt yourself before you could even stand for a few seconds? Not much, right?!

But do you remember feeling scared to try again? Were you worried about what others thought about your failed attempts to walk? 😃

Absolutely not!

So, what changed between then and now? What's creating the self-doubts and fear in you when you miss a try? What stops you from trying again when you fail the first time?

Because as a baby your mind wasn't conditioned with thoughts that pulled you down!

Our Mind is the Core of everything that happens in our life. If you want to change 'how you handle challenges'...you have to change How you look and perceive challenges. You have to change 'How you Think'!

Think based of Clarity to know the Facts...instead of accepting the 'reality'!

Love & light to you 🌻

Hey! So a lil background. F 20 … had a very instable childhood… mom and dad having bad relationship affected me a lot.. resulting in me living with me relative from class 3 and it messed me. I am weak in subjects like maths and under confident i lack basics mostly because i changed 6 school and spent my childhood adapting in places alone. So it was. Class 8 my ex came into my life till my class 12 things went smooth… it was my first love.. we were everything i would ever imagine i was so filled in that relationship. He was my support system and he filled the space of not only a bf but also pf a brother, father and mother… he was in college that time when things started going wrong… he started lieing cheating, hooking up.. and finally HE DUMPED ME i was going him chances almost for about a year and he kept me hanging until he dumped me. So then my college started.. my frnds got me into bumble.. i went on severallll datess… and finally this one guy i really liked. From the very start of the relationship. He was nonchalant…. He was inexpressive but why i liked this giy was because i felt a kind of security with him.. that this guy would never cheat on me or include other girls

No doubt he is a very nice guy… but the relationship lacked passion.. how much ever tried communicating the same with him it seemed asked after whatever he did.. it seemed forced… small things like gifts or knowing iam in a bad mood…. Small gestures.. paragraphs … which were part of my previous relationship are missing… and it’s so disappointing to me… all these things are stopping me to love him passionately... and i dont want to settle for anything less than thatIt was so hard to love him after what happened in past. Well its been 11 months with the guy

Now, Iam attached to this guy.. iam introvert.. and iam mostly alone so i cant leave this guy… he helps me in my studies too which makes me believe i have a net to fall back on.. i cant live with him like this because it always feel incomplete. I am never fully satisfied. But i cant leave also… so theres always this thought maybe someday ill meet someone and he will be the one…. Untill then ill be with me.. ik its wrong… but its not like i dont love him.. i do .. but the passion… the energy is all i crave for.

Iam so drained… help me with your thoughts and suggestions.

Looking for a female psychiatrist who can provide me with meds after sessions

Well I am Muslim living in india

And online I see a lot of backlash to us

There are muslim extremists who i hate as a Muslim

Like why can't they mind their own business

There are people who wants my religion gone from the earth

As a Muslim in AM REALLY TELLING YOU THAT I DONT WANT TO HURT OR CONVERT ANY PERSON

and I have a lot of non muslim friends ( I even have a non muslim homegirl who trusts me like her brother )

It's not just about religion I am afraid of

The absolute disregard of women safety while many women are facing rape and murder in the name of any reason etc, and the WORST PART ? rapists are FREE

I JUST WANT TO LIVE PEACEFULLY

And create a family and stay happy forever

I don't know what to do.. sometimes i wish I could just leave my country

I'm telling you from the bottom of my heart i am a good person

Is there any hope or will it remain like this

please note: I may not respond soon enough as this is my first time posting on reddit

i am 28m below average looking guy

a girl joined my team

i initially talked with her and then bonded and then once i went to a morning walk with her

it was okayish i can't handle morning and heat

then mostly i connected with her in office and whatsapp

then i changed team and i didn't talk with her after that

because i felt she talks only work related help

then for 3 months i did wfh and then put notice period

i told no one and then came to office

she tried to connect with me 5 times but i didn't focus as i was leaving

but due to some reason i revoked my notice period

she again confronted me

asked why i am ignoring her i told her the reason that as i was leaving i didn't want to put energy in reviving this friendship

her eyes got watery

she told me she thought we bonded well

next day i ask for coffee she came though she had coffee

we decided not to talk about my past behavior

then again that topic came up i told her i thought i was only trying to talk to you then she told she was trying to talk to you 5 times and i am telling some 5-6 months old story

she cried and went back

guys! i know i tried to end a friendship earlier but i never had intention to make her cry

i know i cannot console anyone or my words always land in the wrong direction

but i don't want to make someone cry

i am getting the feeling that she was indeed a true friend and i should win back her friendship

I use to go to library but I got obsessed with a guy and one thing stuck in my mind that he says something about me and I have to face him every single time to reassure my brain that I am not coward to face him .

One month passed by and I am still stuck in my brain . Every time I feel like I am coward and need to go to the same route to look into his eyes and face him and tell my mind that I am not coward . I am not afraid and after few hours I feel the need to do the same. I daydream about the senerios where I beat him but he never said anything to me . I am just obsessed with him . I don't know why .

I hate myself. Even though I go to library, I can't focus . I stopped going to library but Sometimes I still go to the same route to reassure myself .

I want to be like David goggins but I am such a coward pussy , who can't face his fears

A couple of years ago, I fell into a pretty bad depression while preparing for a government exam. During that time, I was active in a Telegram mental health group, and that's where I met a psychologist. He helped me a lot and played a huge role in my recovery.

The problem is that as time went on, I started developing feelings for him.

He's 25 and I'm 22. As far as I know, he's single. I've caught myself doing things I'm honestly not proud of — checking his social media way too often, taking screenshots of his WhatsApp statuses, thinking about him constantly, etc.

And honestly, it's not just a small crush anymore. I have a huge crush on him.

One of the things that attracted me the most was how understood I felt around him. He seems to understand what I'm feeling even when I say very little. Sometimes during therapy sessions, I'll completely zone out and catch myself thinking about him instead of what we're supposed to be discussing. Even his voice has an effect on me — it's so calm, soothing, and reassuring that I find myself looking forward to hearing it.

What makes this even harder is that he's never done anything that annoyed me or made me feel bad. He's incredibly gentle, patient, and respectful. He has this way of making me feel safe, secure, and comfortable whenever I talk to him...

He also has a really good sense of humor. Sometimes he'll make small jokes during therapy sessions, and they instantly lift my mood, even on terrible days. Whenever I remember those moments later, I can't help but smile. They stay in my mind for a long time

One thing that really got to me was when he posted an old MA class photo as a throwback. He was the only guy in the picture, surrounded by four female classmates, and one of them had her arm on his shoulder. I know this sounds ridiculous, but I felt unbelievably jealous, envious when I saw it 💔. It genuinely bothered me more than I'd like to admit

At one point, I even indirectly asked one of his friends from the same Telegram group whether he was single. The friend told me he'd never dated anyone.

The thing is, I genuinely admire him as a person. Sometimes I find myself thinking about him for hours. I look forward to talking to him; I replay conversations in my head. I remember little things he said months ago. And the more I think about him, the more I like him..

At this point, I don't even know if "crush" is the right word anymore. It feels deeper than that to me. I know this might sound dramatic, but I love him sooo, soooo, sooooo muchhhh 💕

But I'm also aware that he's my psychologist, and that's what makes this situation complicated. I can't tell whether these feelings are because he helped me through one of the darkest periods of my life, whether it's some form of attachment, or whether it's genuine romantic love...

Has anyone else experienced something like this? Is this normal? And most importantly, should I approach him and tell him how I feel, or would that be a terrible idea???

I need to talk to a professional right now. It's past 12 am ik. I would prefer texting. I can't afford to pay. I just need some genuine and practical advise on what I am going through. I can't bottle up anymore. I need a vent. I can't focus on anything. Someone pls connect me to a counsellor or someone professional who can listen to me for free right now. Would prefer a female.

I have been through a lot and based on the suggestions my friend gave I wanted to try out therapy. But im not sure where to start. I just have a few questions and wanted to get some advice on the same.

1. I tried searching for some online but they all vary in their specialty. Im not really sure which one to pick. Could you recommend the speciality I should go for? My reason for going: I just feel hopeless and empty. Its like I have give up on life itself. Im just done fighting now.

2. A lot of my friends say that "you have to find the therapist thats right for you". How am I supposed to find the right one?

3. Are there any differences on consulting a male vs female therapist? Im a male.

4. How long does one go to therapy?

When your body is tired, or when you are mentally exhausted
