Health Q&A
Overthinking, rumination
I’ve had overthinking issues since childhood, but for the past 3 years it has become very severe and mainly focused on my relationship. I tend to interpret things in the worst possible way and keep doubting meanings (e.g., whether something said is really about me). I overanalyze past chats and events and feel a constant urge to mentally check things, but never feel satisfied. It gets so intense that I lose control over my thoughts, can’t focus on anything, and feel nauseous most of the time. Whenever a new doubt appears, my mind gets overwhelmed and I can’t think clearly. I also feel that if I wasn’t in a relationship, my mind would fixate on something else. What should I do about this?
Behavioral changes -
My sister is 26 and lives in India. Over the past 3 years, after our mother passed away in an accident (she directly saw the body), her behavior has changed. She manages daily activities (gym, coffee shops, online shopping, handling money) but is socially withdrawn, has no friends, and spends most of her time alone. She has developed suspicious thoughts, especially about our cook. She says clothes kept in the balcony will get spoiled if the cook looks at them and believes the cook should only cook and not see her belongings. She also repeatedly tells us not to share our address or personal information. She sometimes zones out and her conversations are hard to follow. She gets irritated if we suggest seeing a therapist or psychiatrist. No prior psychiatric treatment. She lives with our father; I live in the USA. Please advise how to help her, especially since she resists treatment.

Confused in a toxic relationship
I’ve been in a relationship with my girlfriend for over three years, and we end up fighting almost every other day. We both love each other deeply, but my difficult past—something she’s aware of—still seems to affect our relationship. At times, I feel like her expectations of what a boyfriend or future husband should be are beyond what I can realistically meet. I’ve been giving my all to make things work, but I’ve reached a point where it feels like love alone isn’t enough, and the relationship itself is starting to feel overwhelming. One of the hardest parts is how she reacts when I say no—her responses can be quite intense, and it often makes me agree to things just to avoid conflict. Yet, during calmer moments, she’s caring and clearly wants a future with me. That contrast leaves me feeling confused. I don’t feel consistently respected, and over time, it has affected my self-respect and confidence.
