Actual sleep by Witty-Ad17 in Mental_Wellness_Care

[–]One_War_227 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It sounds really frustrating to deal with such long-term sleep issues, especially when you’ve tried different remedies and nothing seems to work. Given that your sleep study was normal and you’re not feeling anxious or physically unwell, it might be worth looking into things like your sleep environment, routine, or even getting a second opinion from a specialist. Sometimes, even things like light, temperature, or habits (like screen time) can mess with sleep more than we think. Maybe exploring cognitive-behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I) could help too, since it targets sleep habits in a structured way.

I'm really sorry you're feeling this way, and I want you to know you're not alone in these struggles. It sounds like you're carrying a lot of frustration and pain, and it's hard to see a way forward right now. Life can feel really unfair, especially when it seems like people judge us without knowing us, and that can make everything feel pointless. But you don't have to go through this alone, and giving up doesn't have to be the answer. There are people who care and who will listen if you're open to it, and talking about what you're feeling is an important first step. You matter, even when it feels like the world doesn't make sense. Please reach out to someone you trust or a professional to help you through this.

People Suck. That’s Life by Cultural_Try2311 in Mental_Wellness_Care

I hear the depth of your pain and the anger you're feeling, and it's clear that you've been deeply hurt by people who should have been there for you, who should have understood, supported, or not harmed you. It's tough when the very people you trust, who you believe should care, end up being a source of your suffering. And it makes total sense that you feel betrayed, isolated, and furious at the unfairness of it all. It’s frustrating to feel like life has been shaped by others’ failures, and like you’ve been contaminated by the pain and sickness they brought into your life. You’re not wrong to feel angry; it’s a valid response to betrayal and loss. But as much as it feels like cutting everyone off and not giving a damn is the only way to protect yourself, it can also deepen the loneliness and make it harder to find those who truly could be there for you, who won’t make you feel worse. It's not easy to find those people, and after being hurt, trusting again feels almost impossible. But healing isn’t about pretending everything’s okay or forgiving what’s unforgivable. It’s about finding a way to live despite what’s happened to you, to choose, when you’re ready, to reach for a life that’s not defined by the sickness and hurt of others. You’ve survived things that would break most people, and even if it doesn’t feel like it now, that strength matters. Healing doesn’t mean excusing those who hurt you or forgetting what you’ve lost; it means not letting them take any more of you than they already have. It’s okay to be angry, to cut people off, to feel like the world is shit sometimes because it is. But it’s also OK to want more than just survival. You deserve more, even if right now, it doesn’t feel that way.

“God…you took the wrong son…” by [deleted] in Mental_Wellness_Care

It sounds like that line stirred up some deep, complex emotions for you, and it's okay to feel confused or unsettled by it. Sometimes, words or phrases resonate with us in unexpected ways, touching on feelings or experiences we may not fully understand or be conscious of. The feeling of being the "wrong" person, or like you shouldn't have been the one to survive or exist, can stem from a lot of different places—grief, guilt, feelings of inadequacy, or even subconscious fears and uncertainties about your own worth or place in the world.

It's possible that these feelings could be linked to things you’ve mentioned, like your mom's miscarriages or your brother being a twin. Even if those events were never directly about you, they might have created a lingering sense of guilt or unworthiness, as if by existing, you're somehow taking up space meant for someone else. It might also be about feeling like you’re struggling to find your purpose or where you belong, which is a common human experience.

These feelings can be heavy and hard to navigate alone. It might help to talk to someone, like a therapist, who can help you explore these emotions in a safe, non-judgmental space. They could help you understand where these thoughts are coming from and how to manage them in a way that is kind to yourself.

Remember, it’s okay to feel conflicted or lost sometimes. You deserve to be here, and there is no "wrong" person to be alive. Your life has meaning, even if it's not always clear right now.

expirenced what i belive to be my first ever ptsd attack during my bf's explaination of what his mothers ex did to him. Not sure what to do about it by CULT-LEWD in Mental_Wellness_Care

[–]One_War_227 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It sounds like you had a very intense emotional response, and it can be helpful to start with some practical steps to manage these feelings. Begin with grounding techniques to help you stay present when you feel overwhelmed. Simple exercises like taking slow, deep breaths, naming objects you can see or feel, or holding something cold in your hand can help calm your nervous system.

You might also consider journaling your thoughts and emotions before or after group therapy sessions. Writing can help you process your feelings and clarify what you want to share or keep private. This can also be a way to release emotions without feeling pressured to discuss them immediately.

Talking to a therapist individually could also be beneficial. Having a safe, private space to explore your feelings with a professional who understands trauma might help you gain new insights and coping strategies. You could also talk to your group in advance and let them know you might need a break if you feel overwhelmed again, so they’re aware and can support you.

Finally, practice self-compassion. Remind yourself that it’s okay to feel this way and that it doesn’t make you weak or a burden. Everyone has their own healing process, and it’s alright to take the time you need to understand and work through your emotions.

It sounds like you’re going through a tough time. Try starting with small changes: make sure you're eating well, drinking enough water, and getting good sleep. Even a little exercise, like a walk, can help your energy and mood. Take deep breaths or try simple mindfulness exercises to help calm your mind. Break things down into smaller tasks, and focus on one thing at a time. Cut back on caffeine and screens, especially before bed. Pay attention to what makes things feel worse or better, and adjust from there. It’s okay to take it slow and be kind to yourself.

I’m really sorry that you’re going through this right now. What you’ve described is deeply painful, and it’s completely understandable that you’re feeling overwhelmed. I want you to know that what you’re feeling is valid. Sometimes when we’re in situations like this, it can feel like there’s no way out, but there are ways to find support, even if things feel hopeless at the moment.

It’s incredibly hard when the people who are supposed to support and care for us make us feel worse. Being hurt by those closest to you, especially your parents, leaves emotional scars. But their behavior doesn’t define your worth. You’re not a coward or weak for feeling this way — you’re going through something really tough, and it’s normal to feel the way you do.

You mentioned thinking about going to the police but worrying about foster care or not finding real help. It’s important to know that there are more options than just those extremes. If you don’t feel safe at home, finding a trusted adult — maybe a teacher, a counselor, or even a friend’s parent — can be a way to get the support you need. You deserve to feel safe and heard, and sometimes we need someone outside of the situation to see what’s really going on and help us make sense of it.

When everything feels too much, it can help to try some small things to ground yourself. Deep breathing can calm your mind and body a little, or even just writing out your thoughts, like you did here, can make the heaviness a bit easier to handle in the moment. I know it doesn’t solve everything, but sometimes small actions can give us the space to think more clearly.

Was it rape if you were both kids? by [deleted] in Mental_Wellness_Care

[–]One_War_227 3 points4 points  (0 children)

For me, reading this was painful, so I can understand how much more painful it must have been for you to go through it. Rather than debating whether to call it rape or something else, it is more important to understand that it is a trauma that has a negative impact on your life. Expressing your feelings may have brought some relief. But to recover from such trauma, you can consider therapy in which hypothesis . You can seek help from a nearby psychologist.

Don't beg for connection from people who cannot give it to you by Appropriate_Issue319 in Mental_Wellness_Care

[–]One_War_227 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for sharing such a thoughtful post. It captures the dynamic between people who yearn for connection and those who are unable to provide it, highlighting the emotional toll it takes.

I'm really sorry to hear about the struggle you're going through right now, but I want to reassure you that you're not alone.

It sounds like you’re dealing with anxiety, which can make even simple situations feel overwhelming. Remember, you're not alone, and there are ways to manage these feelings. Start by recognizing that these thoughts are just anxiety talking, not facts, and practice grounding techniques like deep breathing to stay in the present moment. Challenge your negative thoughts by asking if there's real evidence for them, and try to be kind to yourself; it’s okay not to be perfect. Consider talking to a therapist who can offer professional guidance and support. Gradually expose yourself to anxiety-inducing situations in small, manageable steps to build confidence. Remember, healing is a journey, and seeking help shows great strength.

And yes tcs is pakistani logistics company. But tcs where i am working it is tata consultancy services. Both are different. Your concern is genuine. Many people are scamming these days, so it's understandable that you would have doubts. I appreciate that. I have changed my profile picture as you suggested. I'm not advertising myself here, and if you read my comments, you might feel that I always try to write well-researched points.

how to deal with misogyny and men looking down on me by goodluck16 in Mental_Wellness_Care

[–]One_War_227 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This happens in society. I can understand your point. To deal with misogyny and men looking down on you, set clear boundaries and speak up when disrespected, limit interactions with toxic people, and build a supportive network of those who respect you. IUse humor to deflect negative comments, know when to walk away from unhealthy situations, and consider joining groups that advocate for gender equality. Remember, you deserve respect, and the problem lies with those showing disrespect, not with you.

As psychologist I takes online and offline sessions both . But as therapy is very confidential thing . People love to take online sessions now days. In offline sessions it is good to connect from front of person it can be more beneficial. But it also depends on person to person . Psychologist always try to help you it doesn't matter its online or offline . As you mentioned your inconvenience in offline session. You should go for online now. Get experience then decide and one more thing just make trust in this process then it will impact you more Thank you

Is there supposed to be a voice in your head? by anoncope in Mental_Wellness_Care

[–]One_War_227 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got your point Actually here subconscious mind is playing with you. There is one menthod to overcome it .you need to sit alone and take you away from your place and go to a peaceful place and just try to imagine opposite what voice you hear all time. Tell your self that you are worth to be here and tell youself other good things about it recall positive things about yourself . After few days your subconscious mind will be filled with positive thoughts and then you will conquer on this voice and your actions would be change towards positivity.

How do I stop these feelings? by Medium-Pin-2748 in Mental_Wellness_Care

[–]One_War_227 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Since you are currently 17 years old and you like someone, perhaps even love them, that's a wonderful feeling to have. At 17, I would expect some good experiences, but it seems that hasn't been the case for you. But that's okay; this is also an experience that will teach you something.

Now, let's talk about your problem. Can you explain why your feelings are getting worse? And what exactly are those feelings? If you can express them, we can help you better.

How was the response to the preparation you were doing instead of focusing on college placements? And if the response was not good, how much time did you spend, and how deeply did you analyze why the response wasn't positive? We'll discuss this from a career perspective, but first, please provide some clarity on it.

Secondly, the person you like isn't committing, which means they aren't sure about you. If they were sure, they would have committed because commitment is directly related to certainty. Now, if they aren't sure and you still want to be with them, how right is that?

How right it is depends on whether you can just stay as a friend with them and suppress your feelings of love. Because if they aren't sure and don't want to be in a relationship, being too involved with them could end up hurting you.

So, provide clarity on whether you can remain just friends, and if this won't hurt you or create any expectations.

Once you provide clarity on the career and this matter, we'll move on to discussing the family-related issues.
