Mom's clothing shop incurring losses

My mom had opned a clothing shop in oct 2019 with an investment of 4 lakhs (on sarees and suitpiece). Slowly we added falls, leggings, kurtis, kurta set, luchnowi kurtis as well and short kurtis. 3 years were good, we were getting a lot of customer and net income generated was 1.8L.

But after 2024, the income is coming only 80k for a year(2025). We are not getting any custoemrs. For this year July we only got 1000 rs income . And August one fall was sold and one 450rs dress till date what is going wrong and how can i increase shops income. Note that the shop is built in a bedroom (1BHK) in a building (250m away from the main market) and legally registered by MSMSE (udyog aadhar) . I dont want my mother to incur any more losses. Is there any way to sell those 5-4 year sarees/kurtis other items which we weren't able to sell?

Please help🙏🙏 We also weren't able to restock sarees in bulk due to high cost. Besides this, she does tailoring, fall-pico on daily basis. We are located in a Tier-2(urban city) and the room is owned and not rented.

My absentmindedness may cost me my career and life. In need of help

I'm 21 and I'm currently interning at a good place. I have been absent minded since teenage. As the title says it may cost me my career/life because I sometimes work like an autobot without any idea of my surrouding. I keep reminding myself of doing a particular things twice but then when I actually work its the total opposite. Another thing was that I was crossing a road w/o actually seeing the opposite ends and was about to get under the car.

I also did a huge blunder while interning just because I only saw the starting 3 words of the product and not the last word( fyi last word was actually important for distinguishing the two products).

I face issue concentrating in my studies for a longer period of time. Instead of studying I end up watching series/movies and cannot make myself study.

I just want to make myself a better human being. For my mentalhealth: I was diagnosed with depression 5 years ago and I feel this depression comes every year starting at a particular month( June to March) where I also get suicidal thoughts. I'm ashamed to admit that I have attempted such thing many times during this depression period which comes every year.

After making such blunder I cannot sleep and thus came here. Please help me. I really need genuine help 🙏

Although I don't have enough karma for posting, a single genuine help will get me to a better place in life.

I'm the eldest daughter of my family, in my early 20s. And I'm emotionally and mentally drained by constant parental feud. My father lives in another flat and mom lives in another where i live. No, they are not separated or divorced. We just have a small house and after my grandpa's death the bigger flat was inherited by my father where he currently lives. He makes a literal mess of a 2BHK home ( he comes to eat at our house btw).They are not compatible at all. I've been a mediator b/w them after I became an adult and ITS TIRING.

Today is their anniversary and they are fighting like anything.

For this I bought jalebi(sweets) and breakfast for my mom as she is always empty stomach from 4am; my father comes and says you need to cook for 2 guests and be present tomorrow which led to a huge fight. My mother even after all this dumbfoolery wants to us to go to restaurant and eat. But personally, I don't want my father to be present at the restaurant with us as everytime he endsup fighting in public verbally with us or mom. My father is not considerate with my mom and has occasionally insulted her and shouted in public places. My mother on other hand does use cuss words only when she becomes vulnerable to all the trauma my dad and his family has caused.

Why am I being the mediator and an adult to make peace within the house? I really sometimes want to escape and really want them to get separated irl. Since, I'm still pursuing my higher studies I'm bound to my home. Sometimes, I don't even want to pickup call from my father because he keeps complaining how mom is now complicit with his ideas. Yes, my father's relatives and family took dowry made my mom do veil, in short an unpaid maid who doest have any rights and still my mom did everything she could for her in laws. If dad's mad at mom he gaslights and taunts us(children) and vice versa from if mom's mad. I just want to get this off my chest.

I have tried therapy, psychiatrist, counselling after multiple attempts to un@l!ve myself when I was a teen. I've encouraged my parents as well to go to couple counselling. Although both being educated they don't want to 😔

I'm going to turn 22 this year and I'm very scared for my future. As the eldest daughter, sneakily I'm being made remember that I have to get a stable job as soon as possible. I'm not strong in Maths but learning through YT videos. I'm torn between preparing for a Government job / Give CAT and do MBA / or just get any QA,QC job.

I'm currently doing an internship at a very reputed institution(9-6), but I'm in a constant fear of losing time for studying quants, maths and reasoning.

Please help me 🙏🙏 Getting a stable job will give me financial independence and get me rid of the constant taunts of being unemployed and pursuing Msc.
