Resentment - #18645
For the past few years, I have been struggling with a deep sense of resentment towards certain people in my life. It started with small things—broken promises, misunderstandings, and feeling unappreciated—but over time, it has grown into something much bigger. I find myself replaying old arguments in my head, feeling anger over things that happened years ago. Even though I try to let go, I just can’t seem to move on. The worst part is that this resentment is affecting my health. I constantly feel stressed, my sleep has become irregular, and I frequently suffer from headaches and digestive issues. I’ve read that holding onto negative emotions can actually weaken the immune system and lead to serious health problems. I don’t want this to take a toll on my well-being, but I also don’t know how to release these emotions. I have tried meditation and journaling, but I always find myself going back to the same thoughts. My mind just won’t let go. I don’t want to live with this anymore. I want to feel light, happy, and free from these feelings of bitterness. Are there any Ayurvedic practices or herbal remedies that can help with emotional healing? Can Ayurveda suggest lifestyle changes or therapies to release resentment and calm the mind? I have heard that certain herbs like Brahmi and Ashwagandha can help balance emotions—should I try these? Also, does diet play a role in emotional health? Are there specific foods that can help reduce negative emotions? I would love to hear about Ayurvedic techniques or natural ways to let go of resentment so that I can start living a more peaceful and fulfilling life.

Borderline Personality Disorder - #19623
I’ve been struggling with my emotions and relationships for years now, but recently I was diagnosed with borderline personality disorder (BPD). To be honest, I’ve always had a hard time controlling my feelings and have often felt like my emotions are all over the place. There have been many instances where I’ve had intense mood swings, difficulty in maintaining relationships, and sometimes even thoughts of self-harm. My relationships tend to be unstable, and I go from feeling deeply in love with someone to suddenly being angry and pushing them away for reasons I don’t fully understand. I’ve also had moments where I feel empty and unsure of who I really am. When I first learned about BPD, I felt both relieved and overwhelmed. I now have a name for what I’ve been going through, but I still don’t fully understand how to manage the intense emotions and reactions I have. I’ve been seeing a therapist and working through some cognitive-behavioral techniques, but I’m wondering if there are other ways to support my mental and emotional health through natural and holistic approaches like Ayurveda. I’ve heard that Ayurveda looks at the mind and body as one interconnected system. Could Ayurveda help with managing the emotional instability associated with BPD? Specifically, are there any Ayurvedic herbs or treatments that could help balance my mood swings or reduce feelings of emptiness or anger? I’ve read that herbs like ashwagandha and brahmi are used to calm the nervous system, but I’m not sure if they would be helpful in my case. Could these herbs help me manage the stress and emotional overwhelm I often feel? I’ve also heard that Ayurveda focuses on lifestyle changes to maintain emotional well-being. Are there certain daily routines or practices, like yoga, pranayama, or meditation, that could help calm my emotions and create more stability in my life? I want to know if there’s a way to naturally manage BPD symptoms without always relying on medication. Can a balanced diet also support emotional health in Ayurveda? I’ve been trying to make healthier food choices, but I’d like to know what foods might specifically help with the emotional symptoms I’m experiencing. Finally, I know that BPD often comes with difficulties in relationships. Are there any Ayurvedic perspectives or approaches that could help me improve my relationships and communicate more effectively without letting my emotions get the best of me?
