I am too worried about my brother, I don't want him to be trapped in this cycle.
I am in my second year of university pursuing medicine and honestly speaking I’m not enjoying it at all. Both my parents are doctors. My mom is a gynecologist and my dad is a pediatrician and they are doing extremely well in their respective fields. Ever since my secondary education days I have been told that I need to take up science in 11th & 12th grade and pursue medicine for my bachelors. Initially I was okay with it as I loved to study, my friends called me a book worm. But I was more inclined towards art and literature than science. However, I finished my plus two well, prepared for entrance examination, cracked NEET and was ready to pursue MBBS, but unfortunately, I was not placed in medical colleges in Kolkata and had to move out to another city according to my rank. Now I’m pursuing MBBS in a completely different city away from my home. I’m detached from my family, from my younger brother and my friends. To top it all I’m not even enjoying the curriculum or the syllabus. It’s very difficult for me to cope up with my studies and adjust in this new environment. I have struggled in first year and now I’m struggling in second year of university I’m feeling that I’m being forced to study medicine just because there are doctors in my family. I never had the passion to become a doctor but I’m forcing myself because I feel that I will be called a black sheep if I drop out from college. What scares me even more is that my brother will also be forced to take medicine like me, but his interests are of diverse nature. He is extremely good at sports. He is sports vice-captain in his school. Even though he has taken science in the plus two (or rather forced to take science) he is exceptionally good at football and he aspires to be an athlete. I am too overwhelmed in all these thoughts I cannot focus on anything.

I am a working parent and I'm worried about my kids well being
As a working parent, I find it extremely challenging to balance my professional responsibilities with managing my home and supporting my children. Since their school has shifted to online learning due to current situation, it has become even more difficult to guide them effectively while I am also working from home. Our schedules overlap, making it hard for me to give them the attention they need during school hours. Additionally, not being able to go out and play with their friends has made them restless, leading to increased use of phones and iPads. I am concerned about their rising screen time and its impact on their well-being. At times, I feel overwhelmed and helpless, worrying that I am not able to care for my children as well as I should.

أشعر بالفراغ..
مرحباً جميعا أردتُ فقط أن أشارككم مشاعري. أشعر هالايام بفراغٍ كبير، وكأنني بلا هدف. قلبي ثقيل، وعقلي قلقٌ. كنتُ أستيقظ صباحاً وأعرف فوراً ما هي أهدافي. ١- تحسين الصحة: غيّر نظامك الغذائي. تناول طعاماً صحياً، مارس الرياضة، اتبع برنامجاً. ٢- التواصل مع العائلة: أظهر الحب، وتواصل مع المقربين إليك يومياً. ٣- الأهداف المهنية: تطور في عملك، ابتكر مشروعاً جديداً وازدهر فيه. ٤- أن أكون شخصاً أفضل: كن لطيفاً مع الآخرين. هذه قائمة وضعتها لنفسي لأتبعها. هذه قائمة عامة، وبالطبع لديّ قائمة أكثر تفصيلاً. لكنني فقدتُ شي في نفسي، وكأنني فقدتُ بوصلة حياتي. أحيانا أتحدث مع نفسي وأذكّر نفسي بأن بعض الأيام تكون هكذا. عندما تدخل غابة، لا بدّ أن تضلّ و تفقد طريقك فيها، وفي النهاية ستسير وتسير وتسير حتى تصل إلى نهاية المطاف لتجد حقلاً جميلاً. الاستمرارية هي مفتاح النجاح في الحياة. أعتقد أنني كنت بحاجة بتكلم. أتمنى لو أن أحداً هنا يشاركني نفس الشعور ويقدّم لي نصائح حول ما فعله للتخلص منه. في الحقيقة، الحديث عن الأمر الآن جعلني أشعر بتحسّنٍ. على أي حال، أتمنى لكم جميعاً يوماً سعيداً ❤️

I'm feeling empty..
Hi everyone, I just wanted to share and express myself on how recently I've been feeling. I'm recently have been feeling a bit empty. Like I have no sense of direction. My heart is a bit heavy and my mind is a bit uneasy. I use to wake up in the mornings and I knew straight away what we're my objectives and goals. 1- Improving Health - Change your diet. Eat well, exercise, follow a workout plan. 2- Connect with Family - Show love, bond with your close ones everyday. 3- Professional Goals - Evolve at work, come up with a new project and flourish with it 4- Be a better person - Be Kind to others This is a list that I put for myself to follow. This is a general list, obviously I have a more detailed and expanded one. But lately I seem to have lost motivation. Like I lost a sense of direction. Im trying to talk to myself and keep telling myself, that somedays are like this. When you walk into a forest, you are bound to get lost in it, eventually you will walk and walk and walk and come out at the end of it and find a beautiful field. Consistency is key in life. I guess I just need to keep pushing. This feeling might go away. I would love it if someone on here would share the same feeling and give me pointers on what they did to make this feeling go away. Actually talking about it now, just made me feel a bit better to be honest. Anyways. Have a nice day everyone ❤️

Stress triggers
How much of our stress is actually coming from caring about other people's opinion of us, their actions towards us, their feelings for us and their acceptance of us. Is some stress actually caused by trying to be accepted by the people you care about and love? If we remove these expectations and let go of the need to be understood or loved would it positively reduce our stress levels. Can caring less about other people's actions towards us actually make us less stressed ?

Very high stress levels
I dont know if I was confusing my anxiety with my stress levels. Maybe they go hand in hand. The higher the stress, the more anxiety I have. My stress levels are work related and taking care of my family related. My work is always about delivering and completing projects on time. My family is about their well being. Thank God, everything is ok. Projects are running smoothly and family is safe and well. But cant help my mind wandering off to several places. I think of like 8 different things all at once. Its like I want to be in 4 different places trying to solve 8 different things. I sleep little. I dont tend to find time calm myself down. I just wanted to write here because I feel disconnected sometimes. And when there is something that really bothers me, I dwell on it. I cant seem to move on. Im a very emotional person. I use to have a lot of inner peace. Peace of my mind and peace of heart. I need to find it again. Thanks for listening..

I never thought I’d lose her like this. Not all at once, but in pieces. My grandmother was always the sharpest person I knew, the kind of woman who could tell you every date, every recipe, every family story like it was written on her skin. Now, at twenty-two, I sit by her side and watch her slip further into a fog. The first time I noticed it, she called me by my mother’s name. I laughed it off, said she must be tired. But then it kept happening. She’d look right at me, confusion in her eyes, and I’d realize she didn’t remember who I was in that moment. Do you know how much it hurts to look at the person who raised you and see that blankness? It feels like you’ve vanished from their world. She forgets little things. where she put her glasses, the name of her street, whether she’s already eaten lunch. But sometimes it’s bigger. She’ll start boiling water and then wander away, forgetting the stove is on. Or she’ll call me in a panic because she thinks someone has stolen her purse, only for me to find it hidden in the fridge. What breaks me the most is when she slips back into the past. She talks to me like I’m her sister, long gone. She tells me stories from sixty years ago. And I just sit there, nodding, pretending to be whoever she needs me to be. Because for those moments, she’s happy. And I’d rather be a stranger she loves than a granddaughter she can’t remember. But when it ends. when she suddenly realizes she doesn’t know where she is or why. I see the terror in her eyes. She clutches my hand and I feel helpless. Even if she doesn’t always know who I am, I know who she is. And I’ll keep reminding her, even if it breaks me. It is so painful to watch. It is heartbreaking. Even if we go to experts or reach out to people going through the same, you cant help it knowing the inevitable is coming. She will not be the same again, and eventually, we will completely lose her. Im sorry for everyone out there going through the same thing with their loved ones 💔💔💔

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!

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.

أنا أم وزوجه اعيش حياه جميله مليئه بالفرح الحمد والشكر لله، ولكن التشاؤم يدخل في حياتي اليوميه دائما. أتخيل المستقبل اسود، وانتظر بتوتر شي سيئ ان يحدث. لماذا لا أستطيع ان أعيش حياتي من غير التفكير المبالغ فيه. اقضي يومي بتوتر دائم ولا أستطيع الاستمتاع في الأشياء الحاليه من شدة التفكير. احتاج حلا لهذة الأزمه اليوميه. هل هناك من يشعر بنفس شعوري ؟ لماذا أنسى أجمل مافي الحياه وأركز على الخطر الذي لم يحصل بعد ؟ وممكن ان لن يحصل أبدا

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.

أبلغ من العمر ستة وثلاثين عاما، لكنني أشعر في معظم الأيام وكأنني أحمل مائة عام على ظهري. أستيقظ متعبا، حتى بعد النوم. اجبر بنفسي على الذهاب الي العمل. أجلس في الاجتماعات، وأومئ برأسي عندما يجب، لكنني في الداخل في مكان آخر، فارغ. كنت أحب الموسيقى، والجري، وحتى الطبخ. الآن، الجيتار في الزاوية يتراكم عليه الغبار، ولا أتذكر آخر مرة شعرت فيها بالحماس تجاه أي شيء. الليالي هي الأسوأ. وأنا مستيقظ، أفكر في كيف يبدو أن كل من في سني يتقدمون، يبنون حياتهم، بينما أنا عالق في نفس المكان. لا أحد يعلم حقا. أصدقائي يعتقدون أنني مشغول، ووالداي يعتقدان أنني بخير. لقد أصبحت بارعا في إخفاء مشاعري لا أعرف ماذا أفعل
