Hi, I m male 24. I feel tired, not sleep tired but fed up tired. I work full time on minimum wage with only two day of a month. I sleep an average 3 hours a nite an drink alot an smoke cannabis. I see hardly any of my family as parents split an both moved away. I was abused as child from age of 9 to 13 by family friend. some times blaming this on y I drink an smoke, to my self that is. I ve never told of my past, but usually think of revenge wen drunk making me feel angry/upset. I don t know if I m depressed or stressed or just need a good rest. I just want away from everything an every 1, not the suicide way altho I ve thought, but just escape from things. Plz reply,
Hi. I understand your concern. Stress and anxiety are associated with depression Smoking or alcohol is like self medications in depression. It will temporarily reduce it but on long term use of it may lead to dependence and worsen psychological illness. You have required proper treatment. That includes medicine and psychological counselling. Psychological and social support is must. In medicine antidepressant and benzodiazepine will help to reduce stress and depression. Regular exercise and meditation can help. Take proper sleep and healthy diet. I hope I have answered your question. Still if you have a query then feel free to ask Take care.
