Need mental support!
I am already an overthinker, i am out of India alone and already dealing with some health issues.
Recently I found my aunt, she is close family, has been diagnosed with lung cancer, most probably stage 3/4, with brain mets, which has caused her paralysed on one side.
I cannot process this. Googling the prognosis had further complicated my anxiety.
I want to cry, cry out loud for all these problems happening in my and my loved one's life.
Keep my health issues apart, I just want her to get better and kick the bloody cancer out of her! It's so difficult to hear about your loved ones suffering when I cannot even visit India now. I feel like leaving my job and everything and go back.
I came outside just because of a stupid FOMO and I already started feeling like this was a huge mistake, given how well I was doing in India. Both financially and emotionally!
I just don't know what to do right now. Feels like someone is continuously firing bullets at me. :/

Thanks for reaching out. You are upset about your aunt having cancer and you are feeling helpless because you are not able to be by her side. You are dealing with your aunt having cancer in India while you are living in another country. You feel you have made a mistake by moving to another country. Try to not feel guilty about being in another country while your aunt is in India. You are feeling anxious and upset about your aunt having cancer, and you being in another country is making you feel lonelier. You want to reach out to someone with whom you want to talk about what you are going through. Consult a psychologist and talk about what you are going through. With a psychologist you can talk about your thoughts, feelings, and emotions. With the help of counselling sessions, you will feel better.
You have not done anything wrong by being in another country. Practicing self-compassion will help you.

I understand this is a challenging time for you. During such moments, practicing mindfulness can help calm your emotions. Try deep breathing and grounding exercises to stay present and manage anxiety. Spend time doing comforting activities like reading, listening to relaxing music, or spending time in nature can provide relaxation. Reach out to friends or family for emotional support and share your feelings with them.

Consider seeking professional counseling to work through your emotions and develop coping strategies. Remember, taking breaks when needed and prioritizing self-care are essential.
