Dear Anu, how to correctly identify a problem that is bothering you? I am stressed due to multiple things happening in my personal and professional life. Should I also visit a mental health expert?

Ans: Dear Anonymous,
If there is something that bothers, it will obviously show up as an unsettled feeling that comes and goes but very frequently. That is an indication that you must take care of it else it will eat away into your peace of mind.
It may also be useful to visit a mental health expert if you are unable to identify what is bothering you and how you can handle it.

All the best!

Anu, can you please share some exercises I can do in order to deal with work related stress?

Ans: Sure,
You can start to maintain a Journal wherein you can enter what bothers you predominantly on a daily basis...over a period of time, this can be a good indicator of what is making you feel uncertain and unsettled...
This might urge you to take action once you become aware...if this leads you to a place where you feel the need to consult with a mental health expert, kindly do so...

All the best!

Question by S - May 18, 2021Hindi

Hello Anu, I am 41 and working with a MNC in Mumbai. Since last few months, I am facing some mental health issues like mild depression especially during early morning hours. On professional front, i am doing good but yes, it's hectic because of continuous meetings etc. Not able to figure out actually why I am feeling depressed. Can you please comment/advice?

Ans: Mild depression? Have you been clinically diagnosed or is it self-diagnosis?

Virtual working and/or remote working can bring with it a number of challenges; one being fatigue.

This can cause poor quality of sleep that can result in a low state of mind. This is perhaps what might be happening.

Also, being at home long hours and also due to the uncertainties that we are all facing can pull down the general mood of anyone.

This isn’t depression (unless and until clinically evaluated), but simply a contextual response from the body.

Create rituals to beat this. Since this happens during the early morning hours, make sure that you switch off all electronic gadgets at least a couple of hours before you sleep.

Eat at least 3 hours before you sleep and eat a lighter meal.

Exercise every day for at least 40 minutes and laugh a lot.

Connect with people who empower you. And most importantly, do express gratitude every day.

Feel thankful for what you have and what you are. Also, do what you love; maybe a hobby for a little time every day.

These empowering rituals can get your mood back on track and you will wake up feeling thankful for the day up ahead and also ensure that you can impact your circle of influence at home and at office as well.

Choose your state of mind, let it not choose you. All the best!
