Hi, you seem to be a caregiver and it is very thoughtful and compassionate you have reached out to seek help. Assuming it is your mother. You should connect with a psychologist and how you can help resolve the issue she is facing.

Connect with psychologist to resolve inner conflict

Hi, Consult a psychologist

"I hear you, and I want to validate that feeling deeply. Being a soft, sensitive person is a strength, but it also means you absorb a lot of pain. Feeling neglected by your mother is a core, deep-rooted wound, especially at 60 years old. The irritability and overthinking are just your mind trying to protect yourself from that hurt, but right now, it’s exhausting you. Your emotional reactions are valid, not 'crazy'."

It seems to be undesirable childhood experiences leading to psychological changes. It needs to be treated asap otherwise it may get complicated and can affect your personal and social life. It can be well treated with counseling sessions and homeopathic medicine effectively and without any side effects. You need an expert psychologist who is a good homeopathic physician.

Teaching emotional regulation techniques such as pausing, breathing, grounding and journaling, while gradually working through unresolved childhood hurt and improving communication and boundaries in present relationships.

Hi... You have not mentioned her age. I believe you're talking about your daughter which is in her 20's. For a teenager or a young adult (17-23), it is normal to go through phases of emotional turmoil and struggles. It happens because their body and mind is fast growing and adapting to their social environment. But close to 23-25 years of age they do become stable and learn to cope with their emotions as well as social expectations, if they are able to achieve basic thing in their lives like a good college, job, career, interpersonal relationships, etc. If not, this period may extend and make them prone to mental health concerns. We typically see mental health from a lens of being ill or being healthy. But actually it is a continumm, where one end is bliss and other end is darkness. We all lie somewhere in-between. So it is important to identify when someone has crossed a threshold of falling into the domain of an illness. Please seek professional help for her, as early intervention works best in such cases.

She has to do grounding exercises and activities that calms her mind listening to music or sound that calms her, if this doesn’t work psychiatric medicine can be advised.

It looks like there are some unresolved challenges. Therapy session is recommended
