Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I lost my dad. After that, I was stressed from my job and neglected by my family and my boyfriend. I tried to try to kill myself. I am depressed and have very poor anger management. Kindly help.

Answered by Dr. Ruhi Satija

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I am sorry to hear about your situation. I can imagine how hard it is for you. Trauma and chronic stress create emotions that cloud our thinking and cause dysfunctional behavior. I would suggest you start psychotherapy. You can find a local therapist, or we can talk online and start therapy online. You must vent out and release your emotional blocks, that will reduce stress and frustration. There are techniques you can learn to vent anger. Then you need to work on subconscious thoughts and memories that keep you in the loop of negativity and cloud your thinking, causing sadness and anger. You might require medication, which can be prescribed after a complete evaluation and detailed psychiatric history. Start with relaxation techniques like box breathing, progressive muscle relaxation, meditation, and yoga. It will help in reducing stress levels and increase well-being. Start maintaining a mood journal or a simple diary to help you vent. I know all this can look a bit overwhelming but do not worry, it is a process, and you will start feeling better soon. Find a professional you find easy to talk to, either locally or online, and give yourself time and make yourself a priority. I hope this helps you.

Thank you.
