Ayaan Chopra, a 28-year-old software engineer...
Ayaan Chopra, a 28-year-old software engineer from Bangalore, grew up in a high-achieving family where academic and career success were paramount. Despite a prestigious job, he felt like an imposter. His symptoms included persistent self-doubt, avoiding promotions for fear of exposure, social withdrawal, and constant comparison to peers on social media. His history included no prior mental health treatment but years of internal pressure. His general physician, noting signs of anxiety, recommended a psychiatric evaluation. The psychiatrist diagnosed persistent low self-esteem and recommended Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focused on self-compassion and challenging core beliefs. The treatment experience was challenging; Ayaan initially struggled to identify positive qualities. Over 12 weekly sessions, he learned to recognize his 'all-or-nothing' thinking and practiced self-affirmation. His post-procedure recovery outcome was positive: he applied for and secured a team lead position, began reconnecting with friends, and significantly reduced his social media comparison. Emotionally, his journey moved from a state of chronic anxiety and self-loathing, feeling 'never good enough,' to one of cautious self-acceptance. He now describes feeling 'lighter' and more capable of handling setbacks without his entire self-worth crumbling.
