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?

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.
