I am depressed. My back and neck hurts.

I would like you to know that every challenge also presents an opportunity along with it. Kindly reflect on the following : Do I have the conviction about what I wish to achieve ? If no, what are the beliefs that prevent me from doing so ? Do I have an action plan to back it up ? Often, our dilemma springs from a lack of conviction and uncertainty regarding our intentions and goals which is of course, exacerbated by others' opinions/actions. I would suggest you to write down the answers to the above on paper. Each of us have a contribution to make, a role to play in this world. Just like how a tiny acorn has all the intelligence and potential to grow into a giant oak, you too already have the resources in you to succeed in this world. Give yourself permission to strive for your aspirations. Do not be disillusioned by failures or setbacks, rather see them as opportunities to learn and grow. Be steadfast in your preparations and trials. And never, ever, ever, give up. You shall succeed. You are going to do just fine. Whenever your parents make suggestions, kindly try to respect their feelings and try to see those suggestions from their perspective even though you may choose to go in a different direction.
