Work pressure, some unrest in the family,
Rahul, a young professional, India
Problem:
"Brother, there's so much going on in my life that I don't know where to start. Work pressure, some turmoil in the family, and even my personal goals seem to be slipping away. Sometimes I feel like I'm doing everything wrong and I don't have the energy to do anything else. What can I do?"

Dear Rahul,
I understand your feelings very well. The situation you are in is something that many people go through in their lives—a time when it feels like everything is going to fall apart, and we can't handle anything at all. However, this situation is actually a crucial stage in our lives. At such moments, we need to understand ourselves, regain our strength, and move forward slowly.
At first, what you're feeling is completely normal. Everyone goes through times in their life when they feel alone or defeated. But this time is actually an opportunity to rediscover our own strength and capabilities. Understanding and acknowledging our feelings gives us a lot of strength.
When you say that there are too many things going on in your life at once, it's actually a signal—you're probably putting too much pressure on yourself. In between, give yourself some rest. Focus on the tasks that are more important, and put the ones that are a little less important on hold. This will reduce stress and allow you to think more clearly.
You have shared that there is some unrest in your family too. This often increases our mental stress. However, if you slowly discuss it openly with your family members, they will understand you and stand by you. As important as your responsibility towards your family is, your own mental peace is equally important. If you give yourself time, find your own peace, then you will be able to be there for them better.
And finally, keep in mind your personal goals, you can't do everything at once, but set goals one by one. Small goals will lead you towards a much bigger goal. Every small step actually leads to a big success. It is possible to change anything from where you stand. Just remember, the way you move forward, one day your dreams will come true.
Finally, Rahul, you are not alone. If you can have a little confidence and patience in everything, then things will change very quickly. There is a lot to learn from whatever you are finding difficult now. You just have to be ready to learn those lessons. You will definitely come out stronger.
Best wishes,
