r/IndiaMentalHealth

So, I just recently got a medical college and since the past five days I have been living in the hostel. Last night I slept at 11:30pm and at exactly 1:20 am I felt paranormal activity.

While I was sleeping I felt 3 to 4 hands pulling me towards the bed and choking my mouth and I even tried to shout but a very little voice came from my mouth and I felt those hands for at least 12 to 14 sec.and I am still shivering from this incident cause this has never happened to me, it was my first experience, and i was soo much afraid to sleep that' I keep on chanting Gayatri Mantra and hanuman chalisa.

But as time went on the chants were not working and Then i started to play some stand up comedy to distract my mind. But this is also not working.

So I need suggestions on what I should do.

Tell my friends who are here in the hostel?

Call parents and tell them about all these incidents?

And I don't know what I should do because this area is very peripheral and there are literally no services available, even wifi or network also didn't work.

Please help me

i have been trying to get a UDID card for my mental illness because it has been 8+ years of medication but to these people its all a joke until i han-g up myself. After reading the SOP i thought this was made to help people like me but no the doctor's assessment was done in 2 questions. Do you feel like changing the world? and then you dont feel like it. thats it. this is how they diagnosed my mental illness. No prescriptions were checked stating i could have them made falsely. So a private doctor's prescriptions are invalid and your government hospitals doctors are shitty and unavailable so where am i supposed to go? Iam gonna complain to Directorate of Social Justice & Empowerment of Persons with Disabilities, MP but i dont think there will be any solution to it because mental illness will always be their opinions and not facts.

I do not know if this is relevant or not, but the reason I am posting this here is because I am also going through severe depression, and as a creative mind and someone who wants to fix everything or likes building things,

I want to make an app which will help people connect with like-minded people without showing their faces for 48 hours; if they feel it is fun to talk to each other, they can share profiles like Instagram or their numbers.

AI will match people based on their likes and dislikes. Let me know what you think about this idea; I am already learning full-stack development so I can develop this app myself.

So I have completed MD and senior residency (Psychiatry) recently. I am a first generation doctor. All from govt institutes. I always had thought of opening my clinic after SRship. However, reality hit hard. Once I began checking, rents are skyrocketing, I will have to build a patient base, and it seems almost impossible in near future. My city already has a lot of experienced psychiatrists and I feel why would a patient even come to me.

For private hospital jobs- I began trying few weeks back, however all of them offer to pay less than SRship, and none of the interview ever ask anything related to psychiatry. Just personal life.

I feel lost. I don’t know what I am doing wrong.
I was recently married and shifted with my in-laws and that has also taken a toll on me. They are very good to me. But the way I am used to living is different and their hygiene standards and mine don’t match, causing me immense distress. Adding to that, no job makes me think even more about the current home things.

Kindly guide. I am not an extrovert person and am very camera shy, hence making an instagram page and all is also very very difficult for me.

I feel lost. Any genuine help is appreciated.

I’m 25F from India. I completed my graduation and then started preparing for a government competitive exam, but I failed three times. Later, I began a postgraduate degree, but I couldn’t complete my dissertation. During that period, I became severely depressed and attempted to take my own life, although I survived.

I eventually became an atheist. I also don’t know why, but I often feel that people see me as stupid, take advantage of me, or treat me badly. I have a lot of empathy for animals and for people who are vulnerable or treated unfairly. When I see animals suffering or people being exploited, I think about it deeply and become emotionally affected.

I’m not particularly interested in movies, so I usually watch documentaries and read books. I’m especially interested in topics involving animals, human suffering, social problems, and the world in general.

My sister often criticises me for being unemployed while spending so much time thinking about animals and problems in the world. I understand that being unemployed is something I need to address, but her criticism doesn’t motivate me. Instead, it makes me feel ashamed, destroys my self-esteem, and makes me feel even less capable of becoming independent.

My mother is also emotionally immature, so I don’t feel that I can have a meaningful conversation with her about these things. I have no close friends to talk to about what I’m experiencing.

Because conversations with my sister and mother so often leave me feeling hurt or criticised, I’m considering limiting my conversations with them to things that are necessary.

I’m not sure whether I’m being overly sensitive or whether I’m setting a reasonable boundary. Has anyone experienced something similar—being unemployed, highly sensitive to suffering, and having family members constantly criticise them for what they care about?

What helped you deal with the criticism without completely losing your self-esteem?

So, I am 31M and my 27F girlfriend is going through a second episode of psychosis
The first episode happened last year
And I am really confused about our future
For the first episode we were living together and during that episode she was saying a lot of things to me which really hurt me and I am actually moved on but they’re still the trauma in my head about what she was saying to me
The second episode we were in a long distance relationships everything was going good suddenly it happened again to her
FYI, she had stopped taking a medication last October

And now I’m so confused about a future because she wants to get married and coming from a Asian ethnicity both of us, it is going to be very difficult for her to send to my household since we have different language languages rituals, customs, etc

I tried talking to her and not exactly breaking up but acting distant and saying that I’m not sure about a future anymore but she gets angry. Disconnect the phone and the next day talk with me like everything is back to normal.

After a few days, I started feeling that it would still be okay but again I’m not able to move ahead and now I started to feel that is this going to be a very difficult for me in my life to deal with whatever happens with her during these episodes

Myself, I’m not going through a very good time. I have been unemployed for the last one year and moved back to my parents house and in the last whole year even when I wasn’t going through a good time I had to be strong and only support her. All of this is taking a toll with me like I did it after the first time and equal to do it for the second time, but the thought that I have to do this for all my life without actually any support from her is really killing me.

I don’t know how I shouldn’t things with her what to do up in the future ahead
I just need to talk with someone or just wanted to share all of this year
