Little background about myself. I am M in my early 30s, married with no kids yet. Professionally, I run a bootstrapped profitable business for 6+ years now.
Since last 2-3 years I started having constant anxiety of health, work & family. I couldn't sleep nights constantly fearing the unknown & losing everything. With an increase in personal wealth, my mental health took a toll coz there is a constant internal & external pressure to maintain it & grow (still not recovered yet). Though I have no personal life problems, dad has a history of depression & takes medication for years. I didn't feel depressed hence avoided the medication but a friend suggested taking therapy, so here I am :)
It's been 6-7 sessions & the situation has not improved but I understood a lot about the coping mechanism & perspective. It just changed my perspective towards work, stress, family & more. Even personal habits coz sleep was one of the big issues I brought up with the counsellor.
10/10 recommend going for therapy.
[Also, have not mentioned all my issues here as I wanted to keep it short. Dm if you are struggling & need someone to talk to]
That's great to hear buddy, hope you keep recovering well.
This is what I try and tell others as well, more money doesn't always solve problems. Managing and growing it is also a big responsibility, especially as a founder.
It will take a year or so before you really internalise and practice all your learnings from therapy but it'll happen. Have patience and hang in there 😊
There is resolution in homeopathy. But same thing. You won't be able to find good doctors. And most of them will make you worse.
Have no clue about homeopathy. As a practice, I don't personally believe in homeopathy so I am not the right person to comment.
Yes I know. Most people know nothing about it. But it helps address phobias, depressions, manias. And i know because i am learning it since 8 years with the help of a doctor. And i have seen people getting cured from diseases which are not cured by conventional methods. But it's difficult to find a good doctor. They are not practicing properly hence they are not delivering those kinds of results which are actually possible by practising property homeopathy
I have heard 5 out of 100 therapists are good. How did you find the good one? Btw kudos to you for taking steps towards anxiety
I had taken 1 online before and didn't like her + online session sucked for me. So I just went to one of the mental health companies & tried a counsellor from there. I didn't go with the intention of judging the counsellor initially & went with the flow. Surprisingly, she is good & has suggested to reduce the frequency (once a month maybe) coz i am doing better.
Good to hear that brother 😊. Just know one thing (pretty sure you already do, but just reiterating again).
Like you mentioned, if you have made a decent financial structure for you... please case about mental and physical health and make it your top priority.
You know you can always make more money than what you already are, but one illness or health issue and things can go bonkers.
I understand career ka pressure and all but you have done well already there, now less efforts and time there and more for just you and family.
All the best😊
100% with you. Yes, slowing down & improving my physical & mental health. This year is just to sit tight & improve on these aspects hence the therapy.
Started meditating now and use my Apple Watch for guidance.
I wonder what other people are doing. Because I’m having some rough nights sleeping in due to anxiety.
Avoiding anxiolytics or beta blockers for now. Also avoiding a ment...
As asked in the title. During office timings, I am really anxious to the point that I am unable to relax during lunch breaks as I am afraid I will get a message or a call that I might have to jump into. I know it sounds stupid, but I spe...
The past week hasn't been good. Not sure why but I am doing blunders at my work. Confidence is at its lowest, imposter syndrome is kicking in as hard as never.
Thought of switching from PMing also came in, but again not sure what is ha...
