Upset and depressed
I am Vishakha from Udaipur. I got married in 2018 and today I have a baby boy. Initially I faced problems in my marriage. Today everything is alright but as today I am a housewife I want to work , study . But today's situation is completely different from what I want.my husband due to his job remains on ship for 8 9 months. He also sometimes don't understand me but sometimes he knows that I am upset but he says can't do anything. I cry often . Sometimes I think of the past days also that were really worst after my marriage as I suffered from emotional physical mental abuse. Kindly help. I think I am in depression, feels anxious because I feel like numb . I am just alive because of my child otherwise there is no reason which elates me. I think no one needs me.
Hello Vishakha. I can understand that a lot is going on. A fearful past that is not dealt with can cause a fearful future. But we can always take up charge of self, release the ghost of past, build stronger self esteem and resilience to build a happy present and happy future. Mindfulness based practices, working on to build healthy thoughts, emotions and also working on having meaningful relationships can be done.
