Psychosexual Problems
Health Q&A
General health knowledge
I'm currently a 19 y/o corporate employee and I joined corporate in March 2026. I used to feel lost , tired and exhausted everytime even after full sleep earlier as well but after the job things have got a bit more upscaled as I'm living alone here and it's a night shift that I work . I don't know if it's the schedule or maybe I'm not able to fit in the corporate I don't know. I feel very lonely and often find myself overthinking and panicking and crying in my room frequently or stressing over millions of things. And from past few weeks all i dream of is me working in the company and making mistakes. The pressure is getting heavy and I have lost interest in my hobbies that I loved to do . My food habits have got worsen too . And recently I found I gained sudden weight out of nowhere. I have lost motivation to do things and all I wish for is to just keep laying in my bed cause I'm forever tired . I stopped interacting with people that maybe its a social withdrawal. I'm anxious alltime.
I think I have OCD
I think a lot on anything. Literally on anything. There are lots of bad thoughts in my mind. Before doing anything I think it will be wrong and I always think about the worst case which can happen. I do panic and tention on very small things and those things which can never happen. Even I know the worst case will never happen, I can not stop myself from thinking about that. I am in great trouble, please help me by giving me suggestions what to do. I have ruined my work life balance and study for this, even I have ruined relationships with my family and friends for this bad habit.

Gf acts overly sexual sometimes
Hi, I met this girl for arrange marriage by my parents.We recently had our engagement few days ago, her attitude has changed since then wanting me to treat like priority which is fine initially but she gets overly horny sometimes and tries to dominate me saying I'm hers only.My female friends wanted to meet her so I took her with me, she is hugging my hands tightly in front of them that I got really embarrassed in front of my friends, she lip locks me forcefully in her house when her parents are in home. Few more things have happened in public. I have said to her in nice words on how to behave when we are not alone, she has took this casually and tease me, I'm not her puppy and I don't want my friends & people to think I have got wife who is sexy horny slut.Having said that, apart from this attitude.She is gorgeous and most intelligent person in my life, I allow her to wear modern short, revealing dresses etc.How to make her understand don't act like a slut and how to behave in public?

When Antidepressants Aren't Working — a Psychiatrist's Decision Tree for the Next Step
By the time most patients come into my office and use the words "nothing is working," they've been trying for years. Two SSRIs. Maybe an SNRI. A round of bupropion. Therapy that helped at first and then plateaued. A small dose of an atypical antipsychotic that someone added on. Sleep that never ...
