Hello there! I understand how difficult it can be to deal with parents, school and everything else getting in the way. Let me tell you that you do not have to be anything you don’t want to. However, it is very important that you stay happy and healthy, physically and mentally. The first step to take when you feel like everything is too much is to reach out for help and you have already done that, which is great! Things are not always going to be rough so hold tight! The most important thing you can do right now is go for therapy. Have an open conversation with your parents and tell them you need help. A therapist is an efficient and experienced professional who will guide you through. It would be a safe space for you to share everything you have been going through. I completely understand that you might feel a little hesitant to consult a therapist, and that is completely okay. If you have not been to a therapist before, you’ll get a hang of it once you do and before you know it, you would be looking forward to it! In the meanwhile, here are a few things you could try to help yourself: Exercise every now and then - If you find yourself reading for too long, try to replace some of that time with exercise. Make small work out goals for yourself. Once you start meeting your goals it will give you a sense of achievement and also make you feel happier. Sleep and wake up at the same time- Try to maintain a fixed time for sleeping and waking up. This is a healthy habit to cultivate. Pay attention to nutrition - Make sure you eat healthy. Healthy food keeps your body and soul fresh and glowing! Vent - Keep expressing your feelings to your loved ones. Talking to them in itself might calm you down and make you feel better. Have fun - Make small,achievable, fun goals. Whether it is a day out shopping, visiting a nearby museum or even a long pampering bath that makes you happy, make plans and do it! Balance it out - Make a list of everything you have to do and divide time for each task to balance it out. There are so many magical things to live for. Your loved ones, nature, your memories and experiences and even for the mere joy of licking a cold ice cream! You are not alone, hang in there!

Dear practo user I understand it is difficult for you to go through this condition. It seems that there may be various probable underlying factors responsible for the condition. It’s recommended to consult a clinical psychologist for a detailed diagnosis and better treatment and management.

Try to share your feelings with someone you are close to, write down the intrusive thoughts that are bothering, indulging yourself in some physical exercises like walking, Set reminders for your daily routine activities which may help you to push yourself in completing those routine tasks, try doing some deep breathing exercises.

Dear Human, I would begin by saying that it takes a great effort to express how you are feeling, and you have been able to articulate that, so kudos on that. It can be difficult to talk about how you feel especially when you are in the midst of it. It is entirely understandable for you to feel sad, lose interest, and find it difficult to take care of basic needs in times of distress. Let me remind you that it’s great that you decided to reach out and seek help. Your feelings of loss of interest in daily activities, sadness, unable to take care of hygiene and suicidal thoughts are some common signs observed in people with stress, depression, and even when faced with traumatic events. Seeking therapy is the best way out of this as you would be able to reflect on what exactly is bothering you, identify the thought/behavior patterns and figure a beneficial way to manage this. Here are a few tips that might help you cope better- 1. Taking care of your basic needs, such as eating an adequate amount of food is important, eating on time without skipping meals and getting a proper amount of sleep. 2. Some people also feel an elevation in their mood when they do light exercises. You can choose what you wish to do, yoga at home, breathing exercises, climbing steps, or even other home exercises. When people engage themselves in light physical exercises they can elevate their “happy hormones” resulting in a change of mood. 3. When you feel frustrated or feel stressed out, try to identify the source of the stressor and take a note of that in a journal. You can also write about the events that make you feel overwhelmed. 4. Distraction is also an effective technique when things feel beyond your control. You can perk yourself up by engaging yourself in a hobby you like reading a book but also try to involve in many more activities like taking a walk, painting/drawing anything you like, etc.
