Answered on 21st Jan '25

Communication struggles can lead to misunderstandings and stress in relationships. It's essential to work towards harmony through professional guidance. I recommend looking for a family therapist who is fluent in Malayalam to ensure your wife feels comfortable expressing her thoughts. This can provide a safe space for both of you to explore feelings and build understanding. You might consider checking local directories or health services for qualified counselors who meet your language needs. Professional support can be a valuable step toward strengthening your bond.

Hi, my name is aiden i am 14 years old and I've been wondering if there something wrong with me when i lay down on my chest i find it a lil hard to breathe sometimes i wonder if its axizety or i might be overthinking but other then that ive been having axizety making it hard for me to sleep and i just feels like my eyes are close but im not getting any sleep what should i do

Male | 14

When you lay on your chest and it feels hard to get air in, that could be from anxiety. Anxiety also makes it difficult for people to sleep well at night.  You can learn how to control your breathing when talking about it with them and other ways of calming down too if they know about it. Try doing things before going to bed like making a routine so that every time before sleep you will make sure that you get into bed more easily also practice good habits around sleep like not watching any screens an hour before bedtime because they keep awake longer which means fewer hours spent resting. If these symptoms stay or get worse then maybe it's time to see the doctor and tell them what’s been happening.

I am 26 old male but i am very very thinking my problem please sir any solution.

Male | 26

Thank you for reaching out. It sounds like you’re feeling overwhelmed by constant thinking, which can happen when we’re stressed or anxious. It might help to start with simple steps like setting aside time daily to write down your thoughts or practice deep breathing exercises. If this overthinking is affecting your daily life or making you feel stuck, talking to a psychologist can be very beneficial. They can help you understand why this is happening and guide you toward strategies to feel more calm and focused. Taking this step can bring clarity and relief.

I am 12 years old and i took valerian to sleep and ive been feeling anxious drowsy and been having insomnia ive lost my appetite too please tell me a way how to fix it at home

Male | 12

The use of valerian can lead to side effects such as anxiety, drowsiness, and insomnia. Also, a loss of appetite is a usual issue. To make it easier, drink a lot of water, eat light meals, and engage in calm activities like walking. Being careful not to take any more valerian is important. You will feel better shortly if you rest and take care of yourself.

My sister took 5 escitalopram and 2 mirtazapine together should I take her to hospital

Female | 18

Taking 5 escitalopram and 2 mirtazapine­ pills together can put your sister in gre­at danger. This mix of medicines may make­ her very slee­py, confused, and give her a fast he­artbeat or even se­izures. These drugs can inte­ract badly and harm her body. It is crucial to take her to the­ hospital right away so doctors can help her fee­l better and stop serious proble­ms from happening.

I feel sleepy all the time but then also I don't want to sleep.

Male | 21

Often, a constant fe­eling of tiredness ye­t not wanting to sleep signals slee­p issues or irregular routine. Pe­rhaps insufficient rest or poor slee­p patterns occur. Stress, exce­ssive screen time­, or inadequate exe­rcise contribute. Establish a regular sle­ep schedule. Limit caffe­ine and sugar intake and wind down before­ bed.

I have savere anxiety dipprestion can't go outside delusion of people are against me or they will harm me or they are making plans against me from a 1 year I spend my time in isolation in a room can't go outside everything is worse of life I checked to many psychiatrist and take many medicines but no relief what I do now

Male | 23

Delusions of people opposing you are­ troubling. Brain chemical imbalances or past trauma could cause the­se symptoms. Since psychiatrists and medications have­n't helped yet, ke­ep trying different tre­atments. Cognitive-behavioral the­rapy, group therapy, or new medications might be­ beneficial. Keep see­king help until you find what works best. Supportive, unde­rstanding individuals can make a difference­ too.

I am 23 years old and my mood swings very quickly, sometimes I feel like I should go far away by leaving from everything but I can't do that and most of the time I'm being in sorrow and I'm not interested in anything I don't know why I'm feeling like this. Please tell me any solution for this and I would like to know my mental status.

Hie I'm ishita I'm 19 yrs old ..so idk why I'm feel anxious continuously nd I feel shivernesss and something in my abdomen nd my chest becomes heavy

Female | 19

It is anxiety that you are facing. This can lead to trembling, palpitation, shortness of breath, and stomach tightness.  Try taking deep breaths, talking to someone you trust, and doing activities you enjoy. Drinking water and receiving enough sleep may help, too. It's important to keep reminding yourself that the feelings you have are normal and that the situation may get better eventually.

I have recently increased my anixety & nervousness....and I have suffered from emotional break...

Female | 29

Experiencing symptoms like a rapid heartbeat, restlessness, or difficulty concentrating can be the usual picture during these times. Very stressful life events, changes in one's life situation, or circumstances that are too much to handle can be some of the reasons behind it. Reducing stress is easy to start with by taking time out to focus on handling what makes you feel unwell. This can be done by following relaxation methods like the abdominal breathing procedure and the inclusion of mindfulness meditation in self-management, performing physical exercise, and keeping healthy sleep patterns. Speaking with a friend, family member, or other loved ones can be highly beneficial, too.

Borderline Personality Disorder and Depression are mental illnesses.. But nothing to worry. Seek professional treatment. Learn coping skills and self-care practices. Surround yourself with supportive people. Practice mindfulness and relaxation techniques. Medication MAY be helpful. Recovery is possible with proper treatment.
