Today, at the end of the session, my therapist said that ‘it’s always fun talking to you’ with a slight smile.
I replied with a low tone thank you not showing too much facial reaction.
Ngl, it has gotten me really cheerful and a bit happy today.
My question is: Does T’s do this often? Is this normal?
How should i take this?
Feeling lost, disconnected, and anxious — like I’ve lost my own voice
I don’t really know how to explain this except that I feel stuck. Not sad in an obvious way, just… disconnected. Like I’m going through the motions without actually feeling present in my own life.
I have anxiety that shows up hard around specific situations — enough that it gets in the way of things I actually want to do. I know I’m capable of more, but somehow that knowledge doesn’t translate into confidence when it matters. I keep underselling myself, in almost every part of my life, even when I know I’m doing real work.
I’m also isolated right now. The people around me don’t really understand what I’m trying to build for myself, and I don’t have anyone I feel emotionally close to. It’s a strange kind of loneliness — surrounded by people, but still feeling completely unseen.
Some days it’s just fog and exhaustion. Other days it tips into something heavier, like anger at myself for not being “further along” than I am, even though I know that’s not fair to myself.
If anyone’s been in a similar place — lost, anxious, disconnected, lonely all at once — how did you start finding your way out of it? Even small things that helped would mean a lot right now.
I went to psychiatrists but the meds prescribed are always same that causes lethargy, low mood, suicidal thoughts.
Ik I need help but idk where to find help.
Anything is appreciated:)

Something I've been thinking about a lot lately:
Therapy in India is out of reach for most people. A single session costs ₹1,500–3,000, good psychologists have waitlists running weeks, and most people don't even know how to find a qualified one so they just don't go. They carry it alone.
We've been quietly working on something to change that a simple way to talk to a verified, RCI-registered psychologist from your phone, affordably, without the awkwardness of asking around.
It's early, and we're building it carefully. If you'd like to know more, my DMs are open.
And if you have 2 spare minutes we're running a short, anonymous survey to understand how people actually deal with stress these days. DM me and I'll send you the link. It genuinely helps us build this right.
Hi, I am a female (41) basically from
India living abroad and have recently survived DV. Our family is of Indian origin and started seeing issues in my marriage. I am taking therapy from a registered psychologist here after DV incident but not of much help.
How to find quality psychologist in India whom I can connect virtually for individual counselling, trauma healing and help work on my individual identity. Really feeling low esteem.
People who completed their MA/MSc Psychology from TISS, DU, Xavier's, Christ, NFSU, AUD, etc. -where are you now?
As someone starting out masters, I'm trying to get a realistic picture of what the first few years in the field look like.
What was your first job after graduating? What was your starting salary vs now? Did you receive supervision? Did you pursue certifications? How long did it take before you felt competent and confident working with clients?
Would especially appreciate hearing from people who are 2–5 years into their careers and are comfortable sharing how their trajectory evolved over time.
