Hi

Reach out for a session

Kindly connect with psychotherapist

Hi Thanks for reaching out. Your boyfriend is not happy with his job. He is preparing for other services but there are chances he will not qualify. Your boyfriend is not happy with his job and he is not able to find a career path that he likes. Your boyfriend should not despair, there might be other options that he can explore. You can ask your boyfriend what are his areas of interest. He does not have to get stuck in something he does not like. If he is extremely depressed he can consult a psychiatrist. He can also consult a psychologist and explain about the kind of career he wants to pursue. Your boyfriend can keep an open mind and there will be many opportunities out there. He can consult a career counsellor for advice on his interest in career.. I suggest your boyfriend speak to a career counsellor, psychiatrist and psychologist. A psychologist will help him manage anxiety and feel calm. You can advise your boyfriend to not lose hope. He will be able to explore a career he likes.

Hey Thank you for being so emotionally present for him—it’s clear you care deeply and are trying your best to support him. Your boyfriend is going through what seems like situational depression, worsened by a loss of control over his future goals and an unsatisfying present reality. His identity and self-worth are probably tied to those dreams, and now with the threat of losing even the chance to appear, he feels stuck, powerless, and directionless. The act of isolating himself, losing interest in studying, and emotionally shutting down is how his mind is trying to survive—but it’s not sustainable. He may not recognize that what he’s going through is not just “stress”—it’s emotional pain that deserves treatment, like any physical illness. What you can do now is twofold: be consistent in your presence and gently keep the door open for professional help. You can support him by helping him rebuild small routines (like shared morning walks, meals, or even casual reading), keeping conversations warm but not overly advice-giving, and validating his feelings without trying to “fix” them. At the same time, don’t stop encouraging therapy or psychiatric help—share relatable stories of others who’ve improved after seeking help, or offer to accompany him. Sometimes, just hearing, “You don’t have to go through this alone,” every few days helps chip away at resistance. You’re already doing a lot—just don’t forget to protect your own emotional boundaries too. You can’t pour from an empty cup. Take therapy, and you can connect with me on nine two six six seven two six zero six five.

I can understand how difficult it must be for you to see him struggle like this while feeling helpless. Here are a few things you can do to support him: 1. Acknowledge His Feelings Without Pressure Let him know that it’s okay to feel disappointed and frustrated. Instead of trying to fix everything immediately, reassure him that his emotions are valid and that you’re there for him. 2. Encourage Small Positive Changes Since he’s isolating himself, gently encourage him to step out, even for short walks or activities he enjoys. Sometimes, a small change in routine can help break the cycle of stress. 3. Help Him Explore Other Career Options If the rule changes happen, it’s understandable that he’ll feel lost. Instead of focusing on what’s closing, try helping him explore what other opportunities might be available based on his skills and interests. Sometimes, a fresh perspective can open new doors. 4. Introduce Healthy Distractions He might not be able to focus on studying right now, but engaging in activities like exercise, meditation, or even a hobby could ease his stress. Maybe you can do something together so he doesn’t feel alone in it. 5. Gently Reinforce the Idea of Professional Help Since he’s refusing to see a psychiatrist, try approaching the topic differently. Instead of framing it as a necessity, you could introduce it as a way to get an outsider’s perspective on how to navigate this situation. Sometimes, when people feel heard and supported, they become more open to seeking help. 6. Be There Without Overwhelming Him Sometimes, just being around without discussing the problem can be comforting. Let him know that he’s not alone in this, but also give him space when he needs it. You’re doing your best by supporting him, and that itself is valuable. But remember to take care of yourself too—you can’t pour from an empty cup. If you ever need to talk more about this, I’m here.

I think we need more history and clarifications on that ,if you are okay and comfortable ,consult a psychologist first and then accordingly decide whether he needs medication or not .

Connect with psychologist to resolve

Hi Your partner is going through helplessness himself. He is doing that he never wanted to do. He is doing for others and not for himself. Ask him, what does he really want to do in life?? What are the things that give him happiness. He would give you all the reasons like - financial stability and responsibilities. You as a gf need to throw a light on his happiness and strong will power to achieve what he wants to. He might to work overtime to balance the financial situation and his achievements. It’s a continuous work of appreciating and motivating him to reach his goal and potential. But you will see a drastic positive change in him once he feels and is able to achieve his dreams. While you are motivating him, convince him to see a psychologist to cope with his depression. A psychologist would also help/ guide him through his goals.

Hi, It's not uncommon for individuals to feel trapped in a situation they're unhappy with, and it's great that you're seeking ways to support your boyfriend. Given his refusal to consult a psychiatrist, consider having an open and empathetic conversation with him about your concerns. Express your feelings and observations without being judgmental, and let him know you're there to support him. Suggest small changes or activities that might help him find some joy or relief, such as taking a walk, engaging in a hobby, or talking to a trusted friend. You might also encourage him to explore other job opportunities or possibilities, even if they're not directly related to his current job. Sometimes, having a goal or a new challenge can provide motivation. If his situation continues to worsen, you might need to have a more direct conversation about the potential consequences of his mental health on your relationship and his overall well-being. Ultimately, it's essential to respect his autonomy while also expressing your love and concern for his well-being.

He doesn't have to consult a Psychiatrist, he can rather consult a psychological Counselor to overcome this issue and to get a clarity and understanding about himself and of his future life..

Hi, I appreciate that you reached out with the concern. I hear that your boyfriend is feeling this way. Ask him to practice energising breathing techniques daily like Bhastrika pranayam, Kapalbhati. Tell him to prioritise sleep, nutrition, and movement - even a few minutes of stretching can help. Maintain a balanced diet, exercise regularly, going for walks, engage in social activities and hobbies.
