For many Indians, growing up comes with one rule:
You must take care of your parents.

But what happens when your dreams take you abroad? Or make you choose a different life?

For Indians living abroad, or Indians who have chosen a non-traditional life here - this is a common struggle. The excitement of moving overseas often comes with guilt. You’re building the life you dreamed of, but also asking yourself:
Am I being selfish? Did I abandon my parents?

This guilt is deeply tied to Indian culture, family expectations, and the pressure of being the “perfect child.”

This post is for every Indian who feels torn between responsibilities at home and their own aspirations. Therapy for Indians isn’t about easy answers. Ot’s about finding balance, understanding guilt, and learning what it means to care without losing yourself.

Being desi abroad means carrying two worlds within you.

But it can feel lonely — because not everyone around you gets it.

That’s why we created The Desi Corner.
A free WhatsApp community for Indians abroad, built to be a safe, judgment-free space where you can share what others may not fully understand.

Here, you don’t need to explain yourself. Here, you’ll find people who simply say: ‘Me too. I know what that feels like.’

Tap the link in bio to join and find your people, wherever you are.

If you've ever done this - what do you think?

And for those who have experienced these - what do you think?

Life away from family sounds so good...until you miss birthdays and anniversaries.

You can be surrounded by people, celebrating milestones, and still feel the ache of missing the ones who just get you.

If you’ve ever felt this kind of loneliness—the bittersweet mix of loving your new life while longing for your old one—you’re not alone. We see you.

We share reflections like this every week. Don’t miss out, join our newsletter. Link in bio.

How can I be assertive with my parents without them thinking I’m being ungrateful?"

A question so many of us carry quietly. In desi households, speaking up can feel like betrayal. Setting boundaries can be mistaken for disrespect.

But here's the truth: assertiveness isn't rejection. It's communication. Gratitude doesn't mean silence. And love can still exist with boundaries.

You’re allowed to honour your parents and your needs at the same time.

"Rakshabandhan looks a little different when you're living miles away.

No crowded living rooms, no playful fights over sweets, no teasing over who's the favourite child. Just couriered rakhis, carefully picked gift boxes, and video calls across time zones.

For many NRIs, festivals like these can feel a little lonely. But distance doesn’t have to dull the bond; it just changes the way we celebrate.

This year, let’s honour sibling love by creating new rituals, finding joy in new ways, and keeping the tradition alive, wherever we are in the world. 💛

Social media used to be my escape. Now it feels like a trap.

We all turn to Instagram or Twitter for a quick break between work, during meals, or right before bed. A few scrolls to unwind, catch up, and laugh a little. And for a while, it worked. It did feel like a breather.

But you know it's time to stop doomscrolling when it starts to drain you.

Social media fatigue is real. The constant stream of content, opinions, bad news, and perfect lives. It’s a lot. What was once a way to disconnect from stress now adds to it.

This isn’t just about screen time, it’s about digital burnout. It’s about forgetting what rest really feels like because you’re always “on,” even in your downtime. If your go-to escape is starting to feel like a mental trap, it’s okay to step back. Log off. Because rest shouldn’t leave you more tired.

What looks like overreacting is often generational trauma.

Especially for women, emotional responses are shaped by years of silence, sacrifice, and societal conditioning.

When therapy doesn’t account for culture, it can mislabel survival as dysfunction. Women don’t just need coping tools, they need a space that understands their context.

Because healing isn’t just about the self. It’s about what’s been passed down and what ends with you.

Therapy as an Indian man:
I didn’t know what to expect from my first session but I’m glad I went.

I thought the therapist would give me a whole lot of solutions but instead I got someone who was finally listening to ME without interrupting.

For the first time, I didn’t have to hold up my guard. But I did have to show up.

This is our gentle reminder to let you know that therapy isn’t just for people who are “struggling.” To those who have learned to carry on smiling and coping but are quietly tired, we see you.

Mental health care is also for those who, on the surface, don't seem like they need it.
They've learned to carry it all so well so no one ever thinks to ask if they’re okay.

Even with all these things going for me, I don't feel like I'm doing things the right way.

No one talks about this part where even for us who look like we have it figured it out, our self doubt also creeps in.

But it's not about all the boxes and it never was.

Saying yes when you really mean no?

You’re not alone.

We’re raised to be polite, obedient, and self-sacrificing. Over time, people-pleasing becomes second nature.

But constantly putting others first can leave you feeling anxious, resentful, and burnt out.

It’s time to relearn boundaries and put yourself back in the picture. Moon Minds can help you get there. Start therapy with us today.
