What did you end up doing? and How'd you make your peace with it?

My future has been giving me so much anxiety and i feel lost. Like i worked for nothing and i am at a dead end. Everything seems so far and uncertain.

I am a US IMG (MBBS from Pakistan). I want to be independent, i want to earn but i dont want to fo a residency. It feels like too much.

It's come to a point where i get anxiety attacks over it and im very depressed (medicated). But till this trigger and problem is not solved, i dont think i will be okay.

I need help. I feel lost in life.

I think I might be going through a hypomanic/manic episode in the context of bipolar disorder and I really need some perspective.

I recently came out of a pretty severe depressive phase, but right now things feel very different.

I’m not sleeping properly, I feel physically restless and tense, my thoughts are racing, I talk more than usual, and I get sudden waves of irritability and emotional intensity.

The biggest issue is my relationship.

I love my fiancé a lot, but during these states I become completely convinced that I need to break up with him. In that moment it feels 100% certain and logical , like I’m finally “seeing the truth.” I start connecting old arguments and misunderstandings (even ones he’s already apologized for), and it all feels like strong evidence that leaving is the right decision.

So I break up with him.

But once I calm down, I regret it deeply.

I realize I was emotionally overactivated and not thinking in a stable way. It’s hurting him a lot, and it’s also hurting me because I don’t want to keep repeating this cycle.

Now I’m starting to feel like maybe I shouldn’t be in a relationship at all, because I keep damaging it during these episodes even though I love him very much.

I feel like I’m stuck between two versions of myself, one calm and loving, and one that becomes impulsive, angry, and extremely certain during these episodes.

Has anyone experienced something similar? How do you stop yourself from making irreversible decisions during these states?

Hi everyone, hope you’re doing okay.

I’m putting together a small, private women’s support group or girls girl kinda group on WhatsApp and Instagram for those who actually want real connection, emotional support, and a calm, respectful space.

This is for mature women only. Not a casual or timepass group. The idea is to keep it small and intentional so people can genuinely bond, talk openly, and support each other. If things feel right over time, we can consider safe, public meetups later.

Age should be 24 and above, and based in Islamabad or RWP. I’ll be keeping it to a maximum of 7-8 people so it stays comfortable and not overwhelming.

If you’re interested, just DM me with a few details so I can get a sense of who you are:

Your name

Your age

Why this group interests you

Your occupation or what you’re studying

Do you work (yes or no)

Your living situation (with parents, hostel, living alone, married, etc.)

Whether you’d be comfortable sharing your WhatsApp number and email later on if things feel right

What you like to do in your free time

If you currently have a friend circle

Your relationship status

What kind of conversations or topics you enjoy

How you identify (gender/pronouns)

If you’re part of any organization or community (optional)

What’s motivating you to join

Anything personal you’re going through, only if you feel comfortable sharing

Please only message if you’re serious about being part of something like this. I’m looking for people who are respectful, emotionally aware, and genuinely willing to show up.

If it feels like your kind of space, you can reach out 💛

Height & Weight: 5’5” (164 cm), 75 kg

Location: Islamabad (currently living with family), move between Islamabad and Vehari (South Punjab)

Accommodation: Own (family homes; currently living with parents and plan to continue living with/around them)

Education: MBBS, O/A Levels background

Income Source: Fresh doctor, planning to specialize (psychiatry). From a stable background, so career is something I want to build at my own pace

Marital Status: Single

Religion:

Muslim (Sunni background). I believe in faith and I’m trying to grow in it, but I’m not very rigid. For me, being a good person, having a clean heart, and treating people well matters a lot. I do try to pray and improve, but I’m not perfect. I dress modestly in my own way and believe religion should come with understanding, not force.

Hobbies & Interests:

I like staying busy and doing creative things. I’m into crafts, painting, crocheting, and just picking up random hobbies whenever I feel like it. I enjoy learning new things and keeping life interesting.

I really love animals, especially cats, so that’s a big part of my life.

Family Details:

Only child.

Father is a landlord with agricultural land and commercial properties, along with other business assets.

Mother is educated and a homemaker.

We’re a close, supportive family and I’m very attached to them.

Requirements for a Partner:

I’m just looking for a genuinely good person. Someone kind, emotionally aware, and easy to talk to. Someone who can communicate properly, understands relationships, and is willing to grow together.

I’d prefer a doctor, but it’s not a strict condition if the person is mature and understands life well. What matters more is personality, emotional intelligence, and how they treat people. Max age 26-27.

It’s important for me that the person comes from an educated, open-minded, and non-rigid family. I don’t do well in very strict or controlling environments.

Also, since I’m an only child, I plan to stay close to my parents. Ideally, living in the same house but a separate portion or floor so there’s privacy as well.

My own house, Basically Ghar jawai chahiyay. I’d want someone who understands this and is comfortable with it, and sees it as support rather than a burden.

Deal Breakers:

- Rigid or patriarchal mindset

- Extremely conservative or controlling environment

- Lack of emotional understanding or poor communication

- Anger issues, disrespectful behavior

- Not willing to understand my family situation

- Dishonesty or lack of loyalty

- Not okay with cats

Preferred Family Setup:

Living with/around my parents, with proper privacy as a couple (separate portion ideally)

Do You Want Children?

Yes, ideally two

Timeframe for Marriage:

Would like to get to know the person first. If things go well, then involve families. Marriage within about a year or so, depending on compatibility

Additional Preference:

Preferably Punjabi Jalandhri Arain, but open if the match is right
