How do I tell my parents I do not want to follow the career they chose for me?

My parents have been pushing me toward medicine since I was young. I am now 22 and in my second year, and I feel completely lost. Every morning I wake up dreading classes. I want to be a graphic designer but I am afraid to even say it out loud at home.

Feeling burnt out at 25 β€” is this normal?

I have been working nonstop for 3 years since graduating. I used to love my job but now I feel nothing. I come home, stare at the ceiling, and cannot remember what I actually enjoy. Has anyone else been through this?

Study tips for university entrance exams β€” especially for students with anxiety

I failed my entrance exam last year because of panic attacks during the test. I study hard but when the day comes, everything goes blank. Looking for people who have overcome this or professionals with advice.

Can peer support actually help, or is it just talking to strangers?

I am skeptical about talking to someone I do not know. My friends tell me to just try it but I keep wondering whether it makes a real difference. Has peer support changed anything for you?

Mental health stigma in Myanmar β€” let us talk about it honestly

I told my aunt I was seeing a counsellor and she told me not to tell anyone because it would shame the family. This kind of thinking is everywhere. How do we change it from the inside?

Switching careers from engineering to education β€” anyone done this?

I have a civil engineering degree but my real passion is teaching. I have been tutoring kids on weekends and it feels so much more meaningful. Is it too late to switch? What are the practical steps?

Dealing with loneliness after moving to Yangon alone

I moved from Mandalay 6 months ago for a new job. I have coworkers but no real friends here yet. I go home to an empty apartment every night. It is harder than I expected.

My child is struggling academically β€” how can I support without adding pressure?

My daughter is 14 and failing two subjects. I want to help her but every conversation about school turns into an argument. I feel helpless. Are there professionals here who work with parents too?

Sharing gratitude for my first consultation session

I was nervous to try this. I did not know what to expect. But the professional was so kind and the conversation felt safe. For anyone hesitating β€” it is okay to take that first step. You are not alone.
