General health knowledge
I'm currently a 19 y/o corporate employee and I joined corporate in March 2026. I used to feel lost , tired and exhausted everytime even after full sleep earlier as well but after the job things have got a bit more upscaled as I'm living alone here and it's a night shift that I work . I don't know if it's the schedule or maybe I'm not able to fit in the corporate I don't know. I feel very lonely and often find myself overthinking and panicking and crying in my room frequently or stressing over millions of things. And from past few weeks all i dream of is me working in the company and making mistakes. The pressure is getting heavy and I have lost interest in my hobbies that I loved to do . My food habits have got worsen too . And recently I found I gained sudden weight out of nowhere. I have lost motivation to do things and all I wish for is to just keep laying in my bed cause I'm forever tired . I stopped interacting with people that maybe its a social withdrawal. I'm anxious alltime.
Depression stress
In depression (primary) or secondary ( due to any physical reasons), inflammation, migraines etc, is there any loss of brain cells or no? The physical changes caused by depression or the neurotransmitters imbalances, are reversible or no? Is there any damage or loss of brain cells as I can see some websites claiming that depression due to inflammation kills brain cells. How quickly can one recover from this or no? Please guide correctly. Also, in physical and mental stress and loss of sleep, breathing becomes shallow. Does this mean less oxygen is reaching the brain? Please guide. Does it permanently lower cognitive abilities or no? Also, do psychiatric medicines and rtms cause any harm?
How to stop smoking
Feel conflicted about smoking. I don’t think I’m actually enjoying the smoking itself anymore, or at least not getting much satisfaction from it, but I still feel a strong urge to continue the activity. It feels more like I’m attached to the act, routine, or compulsion of smoking rather than the pleasure from it. Currently i smoke like 10 mint cig per day. I have been smoking for full 2 years now. I want to stop now as it is affecting my lungs, skin, lip etc.
Gf acts overly sexual sometimes
Hi, I met this girl for arrange marriage by my parents.We recently had our engagement few days ago, her attitude has changed since then wanting me to treat like priority which is fine initially but she gets overly horny sometimes and tries to dominate me saying I'm hers only.My female friends wanted to meet her so I took her with me, she is hugging my hands tightly in front of them that I got really embarrassed in front of my friends, she lip locks me forcefully in her house when her parents are in home. Few more things have happened in public. I have said to her in nice words on how to behave when we are not alone, she has took this casually and tease me, I'm not her puppy and I don't want my friends & people to think I have got wife who is sexy horny slut.Having said that, apart from this attitude.She is gorgeous and most intelligent person in my life, I allow her to wear modern short, revealing dresses etc.How to make her understand don't act like a slut and how to behave in public?
