Not sure what I am in
Hi Sir/Mam,
I don't know how to start, generally everyone should guess or judge with the first point of what we discuss. So I list out my problem in a few points below,
1. I have been missing myself for the past few years, the change happening to me is not me, and makes me hate myself
2. I am afraid of a group of people and in public to open up
3. Unable to take decisions on my own, which leads to ask a decision with others even for my personal life too.
4. Mood swings frequently, suddenly I am sitting alone and quiet without any reason and trying to get out of that place where everyone is enjoying.
5. For the past 2-3 years my intuition itself stops me from doing my things like saying that I am not deserving of this don't explore, on all of my work including my personal and professional, by this which lost my skills too and drown in sea of fear on every moment of my of life.

Hello,
I appreciate your openness & courage to reach out here and be vulnerable. It takes immense strength & awareness to list out weaknesses. It sounds like there are too many pent up emotions which are making you very fearful & anxious. It seems you were not like this a few years back which is the reason you miss your old self. You are also fearing the changes which are coming and also not able to make any decisions as your self confidence has taken a toll. Please remember that not every thought which crosses your mind is true. pls question yourself that if you are loosing your skills n confidence n also being fearful than is it really your intuition which is telling you not to do things?
Next Steps
please reach out for counselling/ therapy
Health Tips
You need to find ways to come out of that fear n challenge those thought patterns which are stopping you.

Hi,
Hi there, I appreciate you sharing your feelings and experiences so openly. It sounds like you're going through a difficult time, grappling with a sense of disconnection from yourself and the world around you. The feelings of self-hatred stemming from changes you don't recognize can be particularly overwhelming. Additionally, the fear of judgment in social situations can hinder your ability to express yourself and connect with others, leaving you feeling isolated. Moreover, your difficulty in making decisions for yourself may contribute to a sense of helplessness, further amplifying your mood swings and the feeling of being "lost" in social settings. It's concerning that your intuition, which should ideally guide you, has become a source of fear that prevents you from pursuing your interests and utilizing your skills. This cycle of fear and self-doubt can be exhausting, and it's important to acknowledge these feelings as valid. Seeking support from a mental health professional can provide you with strategies to navigate through these challenges and help you reconnect with your authentic self. Remember, you deserve to explore your potential and pursue what brings you joy.

Hi
Thank you for sharing. It seems you’re experiencing self-doubt, social anxiety, difficulty with decision-making, and feelings of disconnection from yourself. These challenges may stem from underlying emotional distress and could lead to negative thought patterns, impacting both your personal and professional life.
Therapy can help you reconnect with yourself, address fears, and build confidence. Techniques like cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) can help reframe self-critical thoughts, while gradual exposure and grounding exercises can reduce social anxiety. You’re not alone, and with the right support, you can regain control and find a path to self-acceptance and peace.

You have to reconnect with your inner child again, which I can explain in depth in the session. Fear of a group may mean you are introvert and have struggle with social skills or the root cause to open up may be low self image and self esteem too. Root cause of the mood swings has to be explored. We have to work on your fears, insecurity and phobias so your personal life and professional life are again back to normality.
Next Steps
Consult a mental health counsellor to learn to adapt and cope up with your challenges

start facing smallest of fears till you become comfortable there.

Going through an identity crisis can feel overwhelming, but it’s also an opportunity for growth and self-discovery. It’s okay to feel uncertain or disconnected—it means you’re exploring what truly matters to you. Take small steps to reconnect with your values, passions, and goals. Reflect on what makes you feel most like yourself and try new experiences to learn more about what resonates with you. Surround yourself with supportive people who encourage your exploration. Therapy can also help you gain clarity and navigate this transition. Remember, it’s okay not to have all the answers right now; self-discovery is a journey, not a destination.

Social anxiety or fear of being judged is your only problem. Watch 'confidence building' videos on youtube. Take small steps like meeting and talking and freely expressing yourself to smaller groups/known people/friends. Once you understand that all is going well, the next steps can be taken.

Hi... I believe your life has been tough and there may be various kinds of struggles both in your personal and professional life. I believe the choice of career may be one of them. Romantic or emotional attachments may be another. But there is a particular issue that is very latent in your subconscious mind. This underlying issue is the root cause of your problems. You need to first identify it and then address it in a therapeutic setting. This takes time, usually 6-8 months to 1-2 years of weekly sessions.
Next Steps
Consult a Psychologist.
Psychoanalysis along with Interpersonal Guidance and Counselling.
