Not Happy: Something is not right, I don’t know what it is:  I feel empty, unsatisfied, unfulfilled, but on paper, my life looks good.

I’m Different/Don’t fit in: I feel something has been ‘wrong’ my whole life, I can’t put my finger on it.  Individuals like this are often neurodiverse.

Relationship issues: I am frequently at odds with my partner or other close relative and I’m unhappy as a result.  Or, I can’t allow myself to fully engage with others and therefore don’t have satisfactory relationships or friendships.

Work problems: I am unhappy in the work-place, feel I’m not doing well or perceive I am regarded as not doing well. I feel work, or the people there are toxic. Or, I feel this job/career is not enough for me, I am disappointed.

Social Problems: I am out of my comfort zone in certain social settings, especially big groups.

I think I might be Neurodiverse or just found out that I’m Autistic/ADHD or both: This can be a shock, suddenly I am not who I thought I was.

Strict Rules: I have set myself ‘rules’ which cannot be broken without distress, often the rules were imposed by someone else originally, but have been taken on as my own. This usually presents as OCD but sometimes other things.

Workaholic: I work far too hard and long in one or more areas of my life.  I only stop temporarily when I become ill and my body forces me to.

Over-Achiever: However hard I try, however successful I am, the goals keep moving.

Irrational fear of illness and/or dying: - I always worry about some aspect of my health or that of my family.  I need to check out every little thing. (Dr Google).  I must have a hidden illness or condition which the medics can’t find or don’t know exists.

Living with Chronic health conditions.  I have so many chronic health conditions, I am always or often fatigued, I lack energy and motivation.

 

Having Panic Attacks. I have sudden episodes of feeling out of control of mind and/or body – extreme anxiety which can feels like a serious illness. E.g. Can’t breathe or heart attack.

Trauma and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD): Bad things have happened to me, or things that don’t sound so bad but happened repeatedly.  I have not had a terrible incident but I did not have a good time growing up – my parents were often unhappy/ arguing/ shouting or even violent., or they took little notice of me and I felt of little consequence.  OR my parents were pushing me to do well in my studies and I was never good enough for them.     Trauma is a person’s reaction to something ‘bad’ happening.   Trauma can lead to a very large range of symptoms throughout the lifespan.

There are really as many reasons as there are people, all unique.
