What is the best thing to do when you are confused in Life?
I’m a 24 year old B.com graduate, persuing CA Course. I have so far completed only first group of my Intermediate examinations. I have another group in Intermediate and also two groups in final level. Finals are way too hard when compared to Intermediate examinations. I’m kind of stuck in my life. I do not understand if I should continue writing my CA exams or try something different in life. Another group of intermediate will take another 6 months. Finals will take another 1.5 to 2 years.I put my life on the line when I chose to study CA at the age of 21. Now, after 3 years, at this matured aged of 24, not knowing what my passion is, not knowing what I really want to do in life puts me on my wits’ end. When I think of where I want to be, three years down the line I imagine myself in a totally contradicting atmosphere. It’s too late & also impractical to start working on it now.I generally don’t write depressing answers on Quora. But right now, everything is falling apart. Career, personal life, social life & most importantly spiritual life. When I say spiritual life, it means my relationship with the greater power. The feeling of emptiness within, when you are surrounded with your loved ones… As if everything you achieved in life is fatuous.But then I always believe in order for everything to come together, things need to fall apart first. I have seen people hitting rock bottom before they bounce back. Staying positive when your life is crumbling is not easy. But that is the only option you have. Life is neither fair nor unfair; it is simply whatever it happens to be. Everybody experiences sorrow, heartbreaks etc. You are no exception. You just have to hold yourself together & continue pushing forward.I choose to stay firm. I’m going to take a hard look at the situation and I’m going to turn things around for myself because I deserve better. Life may not be willing to give me happiness, success & glory, but I’m going to take it anyway!!!Keep Trying. Keep Pushing. Keep Dreaming.
Confusing, semi-telepathy?
Sounds dumb I know and I'm sceptical but maybe there is a name for it, long story short. When my friends or once close friends are sad, whether I'm in contact with them or not, I know, it just feels like its there programmed in. But its a strange re-occuring coincidence, or out of no where ill get random thoughts of a spicific person, to find out, when I was having those thoughts they said they were having a convo about me or something to that effect. Your thoughts?
Phycoligists....can they help me? please help me! :(:(:(`?
I suffer from clinical depression, social anxiety disorder, general anxiety, and am in recovery from Anorexia Nervosa. And I have to say, If it weren't for my psychiatrist, I don't think I would be alive! Believe me, most general physicians don't know anything about eating disorders, depression, or anxiety. (When my mother took me to see a doctor early in my eating disorder, he told me to "eat a bowl of ice cream every night before you go to bed," as if that was all I had to do to recover from freaking anorexia. Just goes to show how much general practitioners know about the mental health realm.) Anyway, the reason your physician probably told you to go see a psychiatrist is because Social Anxiety is right up a psychiatrist's alley. A psychiatrist would be able to diagnose you and prescribe medicine to help you overcome your anxiety. He may also refer you to a psychologist for some therapy, which would probably be very helpful in deciphering just what brought on this social anxiety, and help to resolve those issues. If it's purely biochemical, (meaning a chemical imbalance, which is very possible) therapy can still help to relieve the stress of constant anxiety, and can help you to find ways to cope with it when it happens. I suggest that you find a psychiatrist! Good luck, you are in my prayers. Social Anxiety is hard stuff, but there is hope! I'm proud of you that you are taking charge and dealing with this early. It will be easier to overcome that way. Good for you!
How much of bulimia is a choice?
I know this may sound harsh or ignorant, but that's why I want your opinion on the subject. I'm not trying to assert anything; I truly want to learn more and educate myself. How much of bulimia is a choice? I'm not sure if I would classify it as a disease, as people are not born with bulimia. For example, if someone has autism, aspergers, or another mental illness, I would say that's a disease that was in their genes. However, I feel that bulimia starts out as a choice; there is no one forcing you to throw up (the first time). Afterwards, I'm not so sure if it is a choice or something you cannot control. But I'm confused, because if you can't control bulimia, how do you get rid of it? If people think that it is a disease, then how come it does not take medicine to cure? Does it just take willpower, or is there more? I currently think of it as smoking. I'm not sure if my thoughts are correct, but will you guys correct me? I think bulimia is like smoking because the first smoke is choice, but then afterwards it is more of an addiction. After the first smoke, you can't control it that much. Of course, people can quit smoking, it just takes a lot of effort and will power. Do you guys think that smoking is like bulimia? And if so, how come people don't pity smokers, but pity those with eating disorders. We tell people with anorexia/bulimia to "stay strong", but we don't care about smokers at all. Because it is their choice to smoke. IS smoking like bulimia? Is my comparison incorrect? I'm not really sure what to make about bulimia, I'd like to know more before making an opinion. If anyone has gone through bulimia, or has an opinion to share, please let me know! I would love to hear what others think:) Please tell me if you think I'm being too harsh
