Your question, counselor’s answer
How can I stop caring about the rumours people spread about me?
Personally, it is really tough when people spread unnecessary rumours about me at college.
What should I do to be more self-confident and not care about what all these people think?
How can I make good friends?
I am a 22 year old independent woman, who has everything desired by me in my life – a good family support, job, car, home and a supportive partner.
However, I do not have good friends. I’m struggling to make friends at this point of my life. Despite the amount of efforts put into maintaining a friendship, I end up either being used or they start to do something unethical and immoral that I do not like. What do I do?

The difference between a healthy and unhealthy brain
What is the difference between a healthy and unhealthy brain in regards to mental health? And how do you think I can identify if I am mentally healthy or not?
Any online test to find my anxiety, stress or depression level?
Is there any online test to determine my anxiety, stress, panic or depression level? And if yes, can I use it to diagnose if I have anxiety attack/depression or not?
How can I get my motivation and focus back?
How can I control my overthinking?
How can I work on my self-esteem?
Is it okay to talk to yourself?

Do YOU Have
A question to Ask?
WHY PAHILO KADAM?
I can write a long blog about all the troubles I went through but you can know that through my videos. So I just want to write about why I wanted to start Pahilo Kadam.
I just wanted to have a one-stop place for those who need help with their mental health-related problems. A place where they can know they are not alone, they can read about others experience and they can connect with counselors for professional help.
