I don't know how to approach and help Kevin
Lately, I’ve been really worried about my colleague, Kevin . He used to be sharp, dependable, the kind of guy who always had things under control. But now, he comes in late, if at all. His eyes are usually red, his hands sometimes shake, and more than once, I’ve caught the smell of alcohol on his breath, even early in the day. During meetings, he either drifts off or gets unreasonably irritated over small things. I once saw him in the parking lot, hunched over, taking something from his pocket looked like pills. He’s not the same. He’s lost weight, and even his humor feels darker, like there’s something weighing on him. Everyone notices, but no one says much. I don’t want to intrude, but I also don’t want to ignore what’s clearly happening. Friends have you come across such a situation ? Is it okay to approach Kevin?

It is hard to see my neighbor suffer with BPD
Lately, I’ve noticed something unusual about my neighbor in flat 3B. She used to greet people, even if just with a nod. Now, her moods swing wildly. Some days she passes by without a word, eyes distant, almost hollow. Other times, I hear loud arguments, shouting matches with her husband or family, echoing through the walls. It’s like walking on eggshells around her. No one in the building says anything, but we all notice. She’s withdrawn, unpredictable. Once, I thought of knocking on her door, just to check in, but I hesitated. What if she took it the wrong way? Still, something tells me she’s struggling with more than just a bad day. One evening, I left a small note: “If you ever need to talk, I’m just next door.” She hasn’t replied yet but she smiled yesterday but this morning she knocked at my door and started yelling at me because she felt that I am interfering within 5 mins she started apologizing for her behavior and went back to her flat crying.

My cousin and my family are in this journey togetherness.
My cousin Rebecca used to be so full of life, with a laugh that lit up every room. Ever since childhood we both shared a special bond we shared everything with each other and I was the maid of honor at her wedding. But her marriage changed her. Behind closed doors, she faced abuse that left invisible scars. When she finally began to break free, something in her mind began to unravel. She started hallucinating,seeing and hearing things that weren’t there. It was heartbreaking to watch her suffer like this everyday. We knew it wasn’t just mental illness but it was trauma speaking out loud. As a family, we’ve come together to support her. We're getting her the help she needs, standing by her side through therapy, treatment and countless quiet moments. It’s not easy, but I see glimpses of the old her returning. She’s fighting and so are we. One day at a time, we’re helping her find her way back. I am hoping she becomes the old Rebecca again full of laughter and happiness.

House shifting is so stressful!
My wife is stressed like, seriously stressed about our new home and the whole shifting process. She’s running around the house, triple-checking boxes, snapping at the tape dispenser, and losing sleep over curtain rods. I try to help, but apparently, I “don’t fold things right” or “don’t get how a kitchen should be packed.” Honestly, she’s driving herself crazy and dragging me along for the ride. Yesterday I made her a cup of tea and sat her down. I told her, “It’s okay. It doesn’t all have to be perfect. We’re doing this together.” She finally breathed, rested her head on my shoulder, and went quiet. For the first time in days, I felt like we were home already.

My friend Rachel is suffering from bipolar polar disorder since her high school days
Rachel, my 27 year old friend, lives with bipolar disorder. At times, she lashes out, arguing with me over small things, her anger sharp and sudden. Yet soon after, her emotions overflow tears, apologies, and an embrace that speaks louder than words. I’ve noticed the same patterns with her parents; love often tangled with conflict. Though it’s difficult, I remind myself these swings are part of her struggle, not her heart. Beneath the turbulence, Rachel is kind, and our friendship endures with patience and understanding.

Trauma in crossing roads
In 2023, everything changed when a speeding bike struck me as I crossed the road. Though my body slowly healed, my mind remained wounded. The sound of engines still echoes in my head and crossing streets fills me with dread and panic. Nights bring flashbacks, days feel heavy with fear. I still panic while crossing the road, I'm unable to do it on my own and need a companion. I hope that I will be able to overcome all fears soon.

Doom scrolling has become a part of my bed time routine
I tend to read alot of articles everyday while I lay down on my bed at night. I curl under the blanket with my phone in hand, telling myself it’s just a few minutes of scrolling before I drift off. But time blurs. One post leads to another and soon I’m drowning in headlines, tragedies and endless opinions. My room is silent, yet my mind feels louder than ever. Sleep escapes me, replaced by restless thoughts and heavy emotions. I wake up exhausted, knowing the cycle will likely repeat, yet feeling trapped in its pull.

لا يكتمل نومي الا بعد ان يجلس شخص يزن بين 55 الى 70 كيلوجراماً على صدري حتى اتعب ، ويستمر مفعول هذه الحركة لمدة اسبوعين تقريباً ومن ثم يختل النوم مجددًا حتى تتم العملية المذكورة مرة أخرى!

Roughly around 3 a.m., Sameera woke gasping, heart racing, chest tight. Panic bloomed that was unseen, uninvited. She tiptoed to the kitchen, water shaking in her hand. The walls felt closer at night. Sitting cross-legged on the living room floor, wrapped in a blanket, she whispered, “Breathe.” Her own voice memo reminded her: You’ve survived this before. Slowly, her breath steadied. The terror didn’t vanish, but it loosened. By 4:15, she was still. Not cured from the situation but just surviving. And sometimes, that was enough.

I always try to manage my time the best I can. And Whenever things to dont go according to plan, it disrupts the sequence of the other activities I have to do during the day. Lets take an example, If I have a meeting at 9 am then dentist appointment at 10 am then meeting a friend at 11 am. If my meeting goes a bit longer than it is suppose to then I will be late for my dentist appointment which in turn Ill be late for meeting with my friend. So it becomes a knock on effect. I always look at the clock and start worrying and not pay attention in the meeting. And thats what I mean with Anxiety of Time. Everything has to go according to plan..This time anxiety actually also affects my life at home or the time im relaxing. Even Im having a massage, Im thinking the massage must finish in an hour because I have to go see my family at 5 pm. So I end up not enjoying the so called "relaxing massage". I dont know how Im suppose to deal with this..can anyone relate?

करन अपने नवजात बेटे के पालने के पास चुपचाप बैठा था। उसका दिल प्यार से भरा था, लेकिन डर भी उतना ही गहरा था। हर बार जब बच्चा करवट बदलता, करन का दिल धड़क उठता — खर्चे, ज़िम्मेदारियाँ, भविष्य की चिंता सब एक साथ दिमाग़ में उमड़ने लगते। क्या वह अच्छा पिता बन पाएगा? क्या वह अपने बेटे को सही दिशा दे पाएगा? ये सवाल उसे अंदर ही अंदर तोड़ते थे। लेकिन जब उसके बेटे ने अपनी नन्ही उंगलियों से उसकी उंगली थामी, कुछ बदल गया। डर पूरी तरह गया नहीं, लेकिन उस प्यार ने उसे हिम्मत दी। करन ने महसूस किया — उसे सब जवाब अभी नहीं चाहिए, बस कोशिश करनी है, हर पल साथ रहना है। और यहीं से उसकी पितृत्व की यात्रा शुरू हुई।

Hey everyone, Just wanted to share something I’ve been thinking about lately and see if anyone else feels the same. I’ve always considered myself an extrovert — I genuinely love being around people, social settings give me energy in the moment, and I thrive off good conversation. But then afterwards… I sometimes feel totally depleted. Not always, but often enough to notice it. It’s not just physical tiredness — it’s more like this mental spiral of “Did I overshare? Was I too much? Should I have said that differently?” And it leaves me feeling a little emotionally wiped out. That’s why I always joke that I’m an “introverted extrovert” — outgoing on the outside, but I really need solo time after socializing to recharge and reset. Just wondering if anyone else relates to this weird mix — enjoying people, but also needing space after? Would love to hear your thoughts. 😊

Angela is 11 years old and loves to win. School felt like a constant competition, and second place felt like failure. One day, after crying over a spelling test, her parents took her to see the school counselor, Ms. Ramirez. There, Angela learned that doing her best mattered more than being the best. She discovered calming strategies, started journaling, and even helped classmates instead of racing them. When she came third in the science fair, she smiled and said, “I’m proud—I had fun.” Angela was still competitive, but now she was also confident, balanced and kinder to herself and that was the real win.

Im a very nervous flyer. Everytime I get on a plane, I get very anxious. Especially during turbulence. My hands start to sweat and I start looking outside the window. Note If I dont have a window seat. I go crazy. I'd rather sit in an Economy window seat rather Business class middle Aisle seat. My wife tries to talk to me to get my mind off of thinking about the plane but it doesnt work. Every second feels like an hour. You always look at the time and want to know when will we reach? How far is it? And it feels like forever.. My fear has become better Thank God over the years, but its still there.

Everyone experiences feelings of anxiety and panic at certain times during their lifetime. It’s a natural response to stressful or dangerous situations. For someone with panic disorder, feelings of anxiety, stress and panic happen regularly and at any time. I get panic attacks quite often during the day it becomes very difficult for me to overcome such situations.
