Dissociative disorder

My mother has been having dissociative seizures daily for the past 6 months. During an episode, she suddenly closes her eyes, becomes completely unresponsive, her right hand shakes, followed by heavy complete body shaking jumping hurting herself unknowingly and side-to-side head movements for 20 mins. She does not respond to sound or touch throughout the episode. She has also been seeing black shadows and hearing whispers once or twice a day. She has been under psychiatric treatment for 5 months. Previous medications (Daxid 50 mg and Quetiapine 25 mg) did not help. Now taking Duvanta 20 mg (afternoon), Duvanta 30 mg (night), and Zolfresh 10 mg (night). The hallucination-like symptoms have reduced, but the seizures remain unchanged not even 1% reduced. She is also unable to sleep without medication.  Is this condition treatable? How long does recovery usually take? Would you recommend evaluation at NIMHANS, Bangalore, or another specialized neuropsychiatry center? Pleading for help.

Overthinking, lack of focus, stress

Actually since childhood I was very sensitive like I overthink about every problem. Over analyze every thing in every possible way. Early childhood seemed like nature. Try to control on result of my action. Specially with career because it was since childhood like I can't handle ordinary life like becoming housewife and not going outside on home. But due to career stress I try to control my life every possible way like choosing the field where I was certain to get job. Whenever I think of some good career options only negative thoughts came if fail,  can't take risk, not any positive about any moment of life. Only fear whenever I listen any news I started to think like this has or will happen to me. Everytime very serious about anything. Many concerns of fear career, safety, ending with wrong marriage or losing loved ones, how I handle the things . Always in past loop like if taken right choice , today life sorted. Past loop is so strong wanted hours or day. Not concentrate on studies

Continue conflict of thought in mind

I am a bisexual male (never had sex with a girl but have been sexually active with boys). I am constantly struggling with these thoughts:    1. I fear that what if I eventually realize I am actually gay, despite feeling attracted to girls. This uncertainty about my orientation causes a lot of anxiety.       2. I worry that because of my orientation, I may not be able to satisfy my future wife or have a healthy married life.    3. I am scared that my hookups with boys may never stop, and I might end up living a dual life or cheating after marriage, even though I genuinely want to be fully loyal. 4. Recently, I have started feeling scared even about hooking up with boys. One of my biggest fears is that these hookups may never stop, even when I genuinely want them to. I want to be completely loyal and committed after marriage to my future wife.      These thoughts have reduced my social interactions and led to excessive overthinking. also .  Please guide

Pure OCD, childhood trauma, and NoFap

23M with Pure O OCD and childhood trauma. I previously maintained a 1181-day NoFap streak, but I now realize abstinence became tied to OCD, purity, and self-worth. Since the streak ended, I've had 6 relapses this year. My main issue is the shame cycle: Stress/uncertainty → compulsive sexual behavior → intense guilt/shame → isolation and self-punishment. After relapses, I feel "impure" and undeserving of things I value like dance, music, exercise, and social connection. I also feel a strong urge to confess relapses to others to reduce guilt. How can I: Separate self-worth from abstinence streaks? Stop reassurance-seeking/confessing compulsions? Tolerate guilt and shame without self-punishment? Would ERP be appropriate for this pattern?

Career Counseling

Hello Sir/ Ma'am,     I'm now 20yrs now. Since 1 and half years I have been lying about my study in college to my family, relatives and friends. It started happening when I failed in a semester due to a teenage relationship. At that time I couldn't manage everything. That's why the relationship ended and I started thinking that I lost everything. I stopped going to college. I lied to my family that everything is fine about my exams and study. Still I'm lying. Once I tried to find some new career options to do on my own but my thoughts repeatedly remind me that u are lying to ur family, u can never do anything . Now I don't go to college but I pretend like I go, I study. For such things I can't move forward. Nowadays I simply waste my time by scrolling social media and games. I am stuck in this difficult situation. Please help me to find the right solution and give me some suggestions that I can follow now to make a better future and livelihood.          ~Deep

It's about my mental health

Hello everyone! Can someone please help me? I am very  (distressed). I am overthinking a lot, my mind is under stress and filled with too many thoughts, tension, and worry. I am a student, currently studying, and my mother is struggling with serious health conditions—heart failure, lung issues, as well as diabetes and high blood pressure. The main problem is that I am scared about my future and feeling emotionally burned out and very confused. Some time ago, I took treatment for my mental health offline, but although money was spent, I did not get any results. Now I don’t understand what to do. Most of my father’s earnings are currently being spent on my mother’s treatment. I don’t understand how to focus on my career in this situation. Can someone please help my mind just avoid to take actions and procrastinate a lot please help me for my mother 😢😢🥺🥺

Overthinking & anxiety

I am 28 bisexual male, active in Hoonups with boys but never been with any girl yet,  Earlier I used to do a lot of hookups with boys but that tendency has been reduced due to my fear and HSV... Moreover I also think that I am not able to achieve that perfect male definition and because of this hookup and searching to boys, I may never be a perfect man like others mostly are...also when I see different happy couples I feel sense of incompleteness as why I can't be one of them. Why did I not have any girl partner in my life and why I couldn't have that happy life. I am always sad. I don't do anything that makes me happy ....and this behavior has led me to become irritated most of times ...I cut off relationship with everyone in this anger . this is becoming my insecurity day by day & tempering my mental health by thinking about these things help me is this normal thinking or what is this
