I am emotionally exhausted
Since becoming a mom, life has been beautiful but also overwhelming. The sleepless nights, constant exhaustion, physical recovery, and emotional ups and downs often leave me feeling like I'm not doing enough. I love my baby with all my heart, but some days I just wish someone would remind me that it's okay to feel this way.

I feel good. AlHamdillah 🤲
Some days you have to be thankful and grateful on your good days. I know this platform is to express yourself when you are struggling, but I think its also important to talk about your good days, because it gives hope to people. When you see someone who has struggled smile again, you can say that can be me too! So if today is one of your good days, don't be afraid to share it. You might give someone else the hope that they need. Today, I'm grateful. Alhamdulillah. I hope you're able to experience one of those good days very soon! ❤️

We are always anxious about the well being of our children
I cant help but get worried about the smallest things that happen to my son. As soon as he gets a flu, or catches a stomach bug, or comes down with a fever. There is that constant worry. Some Parents are very relaxed about it. I dont know how they do it. Me? I wake up in the middle of the night, I go check on him. Then an hour later check on him again. Then Im at work and I call my wife and ask how is he? She is like, "he is fine and he is playing, just not eating" and I ask why and then my wife calms be down and tells me Children take a couple of days to get their appetite back after having a stomach bug. I was a kid. I use to get sick. And yes I can relate. But you always think what if your child doesnt heal as fast. We have learn to remove these doubts and fear from our heads and have belief that everything is gona be ok. Can someone share a story? Can you tell me how you do deal with your anxiety with the well being of your kids? Thanks 🙂

Constantly waking up at night
Hi all, Ive been very anxious lately. I have been having nights where I wake up at 2 am, go back to sleep, then wake up at 4 am then 5 am then 6 am then Lastly 7 am to head off to work. By noon Im very tired because I didnt have a deep 8 hour sleep last night. I think subconsciously there is something in the back of my head that is making me anxious. I seem to say I need a holiday and when I do go on holiday and come back refreshed. It still the same, the holiday hasn't helped. Does anyone else have interrupted sleeps at night?

অপেক্ষার শেষে নতুন সূচনা
আমাদের বিয়ে হয়েছে আজ সাত বছর। বিয়ের পর আমরা স্বাভাবিকভাবেই সন্তান নেওয়ার চেষ্টা করেছিলাম, কিন্তু দুর্ভাগ্যবশত দু'বার মিসক্যারেজ হয়। এরপর আমরা আইভিএফ করার সিদ্ধান্ত নিই। আইভিএফ-এরও দু'টো চেষ্টা ব্যর্থ হওয়ার পর, অবশেষে আমাদের জীবনে সুখবর এসেছে। এখন আমি প্রেগন্যান্সির তৃতীয় ট্রাইমেস্টারে আছি, আর খুব শিগগিরই আমরা বাবা-মা হতে চলেছি। এই পুরো যাত্রায় আমার স্বামী যেভাবে আমার পাশে থেকেছে, তার জন্য আমি নিজেকে সত্যিই অনেক ভাগ্যবতী মনে করি। আমরা সবকিছু একসঙ্গে সামলেছি। তবে আমাদের শুরুটা মোটেও সহজ ছিল না। সমাজের নানা রকম কথা, মানুষের অযাচিত প্রশ্ন আর প্রত্যাশা—সবকিছুর মধ্য দিয়ে যেতে হয়েছে। আমার স্বামী সবসময় আমার হয়ে কথা বলেছে, আমার পাশে দাঁড়িয়েছে। এজন্য আমি ঈশ্বরের কাছে সবসময় কৃতজ্ঞ। কিন্তু আমার চারপাশে অনেক নারী আছেন, যাদের জীবনে এমন সাপোর্টিভ সঙ্গী নেই। আর শুধু অন্যদের কথা বলছি না, আমিও এসবের মুখোমুখি হয়েছি। বিশেষ করে কোনো বিয়ে বা পারিবারিক অনুষ্ঠানে গেলেই একই প্রশ্ন বারবার শুনতে হতো—"কবে বাচ্চা নিচ্ছ?", "এত বছর হয়ে গেল, এখনও কোনো সুখবর নেই?", "আর দেরি করলে তো সমস্যা হবে!"—এই ধরনের কথা যেন মানুষের মুখে সবসময়ই প্রস্তুত থাকত। বেশিরভাগ সময় এই কথাগুলো আসত সেই আত্মীয় বা কাজিনদের কাছ থেকেই, যাদের নিজের সন্তান আছে। একসময় এমন অবস্থা হয়েছিল যে আমরা সামাজিক অনুষ্ঠানে যাওয়াই কমিয়ে দিয়েছিলাম। কারণ আমার স্বামী বুঝতে পারত, এসব কথা আমাকে কতটা মানসিকভাবে ভেঙে দিচ্ছে। সে সবসময় আমাকে বলত, "আমাদের কোনো তাড়া নেই। বাবা-মা হব কি না, আর কবে হব—এটা আমাদের সিদ্ধান্ত। সমাজ ঠিক করে দেবে না আমাদের জীবন।" অনেক সংগ্রাম, অনেক কষ্ট আর মানসিক লড়াইয়ের পর আজ আমরা আমাদের জীবনের সবচেয়ে সুন্দর অধ্যায়ে দাঁড়িয়ে আছি। খুব শিগগিরই আমরা বাবা-মা হতে চলেছি। এই যাত্রাটা আমরা আমাদের নিজের সময়ে শুরু করেছি, আর ঈশ্বরের অশেষ আশীর্বাদেই আজ আমাদের এই স্বপ্ন সত্যি হতে চলেছে।

I think, I'm getting triggered by OCD a little too much these days.
Generally I like everything organized around me, be it the cupboard, the kitchen the bedroom, the hall, my documents,files,cosmetics,shoes,clothes and jewellery.I like to segregate all my digital files and save them in separate folders. Last week I was helping my niece with online college admissions and was working on her her PC and that's when I got so triggered 😓😥 I saw all her document files just scattered all across the desktop. It was so cluttered all over her PC that I was having an extreme urge to segregate all the files and save them name by name. I was unable to focus on the application process and was getting driven to organize all the files one by one. Somehow finallyyyyy after completing the application process, I sat down with my niece and organised all her files. It took me 5 hours but I felt relieved.

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.
