4. Losing self-confidence.

5. Having an inferiority complex and insecurities.

6. Irritation.

Please help.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I read your query and can understand your concern.

You may have a major depressive disorder or underlying stress. There is non-pharmacological management for it, you should try to follow the below guidelines to deal with it. It will help you.

1. Exercise daily for 30 to 45 minutes like at least going for a walk. It will boost your confidence.

2. Meditate for 20 minutes daily. Just sit at a place in a comfortable position and try to concentrate on your normal breathing. Do not stop or force yourself to stop your thoughts, just let them be. It will help you to calm down.

3. You should eat healthy home-cooked food, and avoid junk food.

4. You must drink enough water.

5. You should spend quality time with friends and family daily.

6. You should spend time on creative hobbies like reading good books, writing journals, painting, drawing, and learning new skills, language, or musical instruments.

7. You should sleep for 7 to 8 hours daily.

8. You must avoid tobacco, alcohol, or any substance abuse.

Live your life, do not just spend it, and be bold and confident. Learn to accept and respect yourself. You must not compare yourself with others, otherwise, it is like you are insulting yourself. If you do not respect yourself then no one is going to respect you. You are unique in your way.

I hope that you get your answer.

Please, let me know if you want some help.

Thank you and take care.
