Q: Name: Sneha Date of birth: 25 October 2000 Place of birth: Kolkata Time: 7:45 AM I have been experiencing anxiety and depression for some time now, but my relatives don't believe in mental health. They think that I'm just being dramatic or lazy, and that if I just "snap out of it," everything will be alright. It hurts because I wish I could be truthful with them, but not get dismissed or judged. How do I talk to family members that don't think anxiety and depression exist? I need to be able to explain to someone what I am going through without shame or invalidation.?

Q: Name: Geeta Date of Birth: 3 March 1996 Place of Birth: Pune Time: 6:30 PM. My boyfriend is going through a tough time with bad anxiety, but he will not let me in. He shuts himself completely. He does not want to communicate with me, and insists that he does it on his own. I want to help him, but I feel helpless and rejected. I worry that forcing him to may do more harm, but doing nothing and just standing by also doesn't seem right. What do you do when someone you care about is battling anxiety but won't accept help??

Q: Name: Tanmay Date of Birth: 9 September 1996 Place of Birth: Pune Time: 10:40 AM. I've been experiencing ongoing physical symptoms like pressure in my chest, dizziness, tension in my muscles, but I'm not feeling anxious mentally. It's frustrating because I had assumed anxiety was supposed to be about the mind. I've gotten tests and everything reads fine physically. So why does my body sense that it's under attack 24/7? Is this a type of anxiety, or something different??
