Meet Engy El Guindy,

She holds a Master of Science in Psychology with a concentration in Child and Adolescent Development from Southern New Hampshire University, and a Bachelor’s degree in Sociology from The American University in Cairo. She is also a connected parenting practitioner in training.

She has worked with children and adolescents in both NGO and private settings, supporting those affected by trauma, abuse, and other social challenges.

On Moving On” — A Sentimental, Psychoanalytic, Heart-Punching Piece

There is a special kind of grief that comes with moving on.
Not the loud kind—the kind that screams into pillows and breaks plates.
I’m talking about the quiet one.
The kind Freud would say slips into your dreams.
The kind that sits on your chest at 2 AM and whispers:
“You lost something you never got to finish.”

Moving on is not heroic.
It’s not linear.
It’s not a pastel-colored Pinterest quote.

It’s mourning a version of you that waited too long for closure that never came.
It’s forgiving yourself for believing in people who treated you as optional.
It’s realizing that the love you were starving for
was actually supposed to come from you.

People always say, “Let it go.”
But here’s the truth psychoanalysis won’t sugarcoat:

You don’t “let go.”
You outgrow.

You shed the wish.
You bury the fantasy.
You grieve the person you were when you still had hope they would choose you.

And then—almost accidentally—
you wake up one day and it doesn’t hurt as sharply.
It’s not that you no longer care.
It’s that your heart has finally understood
that the person you wanted them to be
never existed outside of your imagination.

And that’s okay.

Because moving on is not about winning.
Not about being better or stronger or healed.

It’s simply the moment you become tired of bleeding for a story
that cannot be rewritten.

It’s the moment you realize:
“I deserved someone who didn’t make me question my worth.”

You won’t celebrate this moment.
You won’t even notice it.
But you’ll feel it—
in the quiet.
In the peace.
In the fact that you no longer go looking for the ghost.

And maybe that’s what growth is.
Not fireworks.
Not closure.
Just the slow return to yourself
after being lost in someone else’s world.

And that, my love,
is how you move on:
Not by forgetting the story…
but by finally remembering who the main character was.

What is a generalised anxiety disorder ? GAD

Generalised Anxiety Disorder (often called GAD) is a mental health condition where a person experiences persistent, excessive worry about everyday things—even when there’s little or no real reason to worry.

It’s not just “being anxious.” The worry in GAD is:
• Chronic (most days, for at least 6 months)
• Hard to control
• Out of proportion to the actual situation

What do people with GAD worry about?

Almost anything, often several things at once:
• Health
• Family or children
• Work or finances
• Relationships
• “What if” scenarios about the future
Even when one worry is resolved, another quickly replaces it.

Common symptoms

Psychological
• Constant overthinking
• Feeling on edge or restless
• Difficulty concentrating
• Irritability
• Fear that something bad will happen

Physical
• Muscle tension (neck, shoulders, jaw)
• Fatigue
• Headaches
• Sleep problems
• Stomach issues (nausea, IBS-like symptoms)
• Palpitations or shortness of breath

How it’s different from normal anxiety

Everyone worries sometimes. With GAD:
• The worry is excessive and uncontrollable
• It interferes with daily life
• The body stays in a long-term stress (fight-or-flight) mode

What causes GAD?

Usually a mix of:
• Genetic vulnerability
• Personality traits (perfectionism, high responsibility)
• Chronic stress or trauma
• Neurochemical factors (e.g. serotonin, GABA)
• Early life experiences

How is it treated?

GAD is very treatable. Evidence-based options include:
• Psychotherapy (especially CBT, ACT, mindfulness-based therapy)
• Medication (such as SSRIs/SNRIs, when needed)
• Lifestyle work: sleep, movement, reducing caffeine, stress regulation
• Nervous system regulation (breathing, somatic techniques)
