Ptsd and OCD
I've been leading a very depressed life since 2 years now after my marriage due to problems with my husband,in laws and also because both our families are against our marriage still. And aren't able to convince them. There have been so many fights only non stop between us and so much tensions even when I'm already suffering from physical health issues also due to my own stressful life. So I'm not able to focus on my work and other sectors too. I've focus issues and I've been losing interest from my life. Also I've become so much anti social now due to lack of support and independence to lead my life the way I want to..My husband and parents are so controlling towards me and harress me mentally too. That sometimes I feel to leave them all and become a saint in a temple or forest. Even I get suicidal thoughts at times. I wish if I had someone to help me become the old myself and help me fulfill my dreams. But I've become so lonely now. 😔

Psychologist Response:
I hear your pain, and I want you to know — you are not alone. What you’re experiencing is not just sadness; it’s emotional exhaustion from constantly fighting for space, voice, and peace in a life that should’ve given you support and love after marriage. The tension between families, the endless arguments, the controlling environment — these can feel like invisible chains, holding you back from living your truth. It’s okay to admit you’re overwhelmed. You’ve been carrying so much, for so long, and it makes complete sense that you feel disconnected, demotivated, and lost.
But even in this darkness, the fact that you reached out shows your strength is still alive. That desire to become the “old you” — the version of you who had dreams, joy, and fire — she’s still in there, buried under pain, but not gone. We can begin bringing her back. Suicidal thoughts may feel like an escape, but they are a sign that your pain needs tending, not silence. Therapy can help you untangle this web — we’ll rebuild your confidence, restore your mental energy, and create small windows of hope again. You’re not meant to walk this path alone, and I will walk with you.
Take therapy, and you can connect with me on nine two six six seven two six zero six five.

Hi
What is the cause of your depression ?? Since when have you felt this??
You need a gud vent out session and as a psychologist we need to find out what is stopping g you to achieve what you want to..
often when we unable to achieve our desires, we feel helpless and unhappy. We are always in a dilemma to choose between either listen to the elders( for everyone convenience) or to choose ur own happiness. And hence we fall to choose everyone’s happiness.
Is it a love marriage? Whether it is love marriage or arrange marriage, it is very important to learn that as long as you and ur partner are on the same page or have same intention- to be together then the rest of the family doesn’t matter. What matters is ur happiness of being together and should become your priority. Talk to your partner about it and make goals as a couple and not a daughter, daughter in law, etc. take your partner into confidence and go ahead with your life and ignore the rest. Having conflicts between you and your partner due to parents are useless coz in the end it is you two who has to be together forever and not your parents. Once your parents see that you guys are unbreakable, they will automatically stop bothering you. Work on your partner, with your partner, for your better relationship.

Couple therapy is recommended
Happy to help.

Hi...In your situation, Individual Counselling can help you collect your thoughts together and develop the necessary emotional strength to deal with your circumstances. We all feel lost and overburdened with our circumstances at some point in our lives. And in those times it is best to take rest. You don't need to sort it all out at once. Just rest for a while and then see what is troubling you the most. You married against your parents will with an expectation of a better life or love. But it didn't turned out to be the one you anticipated. So what can you do now? You can always end what you started and it is relatively easy. Or you can choose to work this thing out and put your 100% in solving this situation. Remember, your husband maybe feeling the same way. Things didn't turned out the way he also thought. But now in this given situation you both have a choice to either end it or to start working upon resolving the differences. We can't expect anyone to become what we desire them to become but we can develop a working relationship first and set clear expectations. You can ask him what behaviors of yours troble him the most and start working on them. Similarly, you can politely share his behaviors that trouble you the most and ask him to work upon them. Change doesn't come immediately but it does takes place gradually. Most marriages sustain because partners are willing to accommodate the differences and not because of the amount of love they share. This romantic idea of love and marriage and finding the one who will take out all our sorrows or pain, is mainly media generated. We do have a seeking inside us but it is a spiritual seeking. We can assign it to our work or pursuit in life but not to relationships. Relationships are meant to make our lives worthwhile but meaning in life has to be derieved from something we do. Not just a job but our pursuit in life. Try to think about it and try to find one over a period of time.
Next Steps
Consult a Psychologist.
Interpersonal Relationship Counselling using existentialist approach is required.
Couple Therapy or Marital Counselling is useful if both partners are willing.

Hi,
I'm really sorry to hear that you're going through such a difficult time. It sounds incredibly challenging to navigate the pressures from both your marriage and your families, especially while dealing with physical health issues and feelings of depression. It's crucial to acknowledge your feelings and understand that it's okay to seek help. Consider reaching out to a trusted friend, family member, or a mental health professional who can provide support and guidance during this tough period. You deserve a safe space where you can express your feelings and get the help you need. While it may feel isolating, know that you are not alone in your struggle. Also, try to take small steps toward reclaiming your independence and focusing on what brings you joy, even if those things feel distant right now. Practicing self-care and mindfulness, even in small doses, can help you reconnect with yourself. Remember, your life matters, and there are paths to healing and fulfillmentâeven if they seem unclear right now. Please take your feelings seriously, especially any thoughts of self-harm, and consider reaching out to professionals who can help you navigate this crisis. You have the right to seek happiness and peace.
