34 | Single | Product Manager

I was raised in a highly critical family, which led to a sense of inferiority and a self-critical thought pattern. I faced high-performance pressure from my parents, which led to anxiety at a very early age. I started having reading issues in exams, which led to poor performance. I consulted a psychiatrist for the same and went through therapy and medication which helped me a lot to recover. It helped me identify my unhealthy thought patterns and better deal with them.

I believe in doing what you love which led to my career transition from Architecture to Product Management. I had younger colleagues and seniors which made me self-doubt for a long time. I started working harder to fill the gap which got exhausting and hampered my other relationships. I was pushed to a point where I had completely lost my self-worth, had suicidal thoughts and wanted to quit my job. Took a break and started working on work-life balance.
