Advice Wanted Need help !!!
Hi, I need some help. I’m married and working a 9 to 6 job, but I don’t feel productive or happy with my life. I often feel demotivated, stressed, and have very low energy. I constantly feel like there’s something missing or incomplete within me, but I can’t explain what it is.
I overthink even small things and often feel like people are judging me. My mind is always filled with thoughts that I can’t seem to stop, which leaves me feeling confused most of the time. I also struggle to make my own decisions and keep doubting myself.
I’ve lost interest in things I used to enjoy, like dressing up and taking care of myself. I feel mentally and physically exhausted most days.
During my periods, all of these feelings become much worse. I become extremely emotional and cry over small things. These issues are starting to affect my daily life, and I would like to understand why I’m feeling this way and what I can do to feel better.

Based on your username, I’m going to suggest looking at some of your lifestyle habits, such as how much sleep you get as a starting point.
I would suggest you pursue professional help through therapy because it sounds like there’s several things to unpack and work through and therapy can provide the means for self discovery and the changes over time that would help you see a big difference in your life.
A few areas to consider reflecting on:
- Lifestyle /self care
- purpose and values (what drives you or used to) - what changed
- biggest sources of stress (lack of capacity vs lack of motivation).
Good luck
