Can meditation, exercise, and hobbies help with personality issues?

Question

Hello doctor,

I socialize with new people, but only if the other person is male. I have a hard time socializing with girls. While I can easily make friends, I find it difficult to engage with them again. I tend not to talk to anyone unless I have some task for them. Additionally, I struggle with severe anger issues, often shouting at everyone in my home, only to feel regretful afterward, typically about 15 minutes later. My mind feels unstable; it is constantly racing, thinking about a myriad of things simultaneously.

However, I have difficulty focusing on anything for more than a minute. Despite not being depressed, I often prefer not to engage in conversation. I also experience daytime sleepiness, even when I have had sufficient sleep the night before.

Please help.

Thank you.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Thank you for taking help from a psychiatrist.

You may have personality issues or possibly borderline personality disorder, a type of personality disorder. Symptoms may include chronic feelings of emptiness, emotional outbursts, overwhelming behavior, and self-harming behavior. You may often feel misunderstood by others and struggle to maintain long-term relationships. Additionally, you may encounter frequent job-related issues and anger outbursts. Non-pharmacological management options are available, and it is advisable to consider the following guidelines:

Engage in daily exercise for 30 to 45 minutes, such as going for a walk, joining a gym, or swimming, to help divert anger outbursts.
Practice meditation for 20 minutes daily. Sit comfortably and focus on your normal breathing without trying to suppress your thoughts. This practice can aid in reducing excessive thoughts.
Maintain a healthy diet by consuming home-cooked meals and avoiding junk food.
Dedicate quality time to spend with friends and family daily.
Pursue creative hobbies like reading, writing journals, painting, drawing, or learning new skills, languages, or musical instruments.
Ensure adequate sleep of seven to eight hours per night.
Avoid tobacco, alcohol, or any substance abuse.

I hope this information is helpful. Please do not hesitate to reach out if you need further assistance.

Thank you.
