Am I Addicted to a Bad Habit?

I've fallen into a bad habit and I can't seem to get rid of it. I feel like I'm addicted to it.

Answered on 7th Mar '25

You might experience physical cravings, emotional discomfort, or difficulty concentrating. Often, these behaviors stem from stress, boredom, or seeking comfort. To foster positive change, consider setting small, achievable goals and gradually replace the habit with healthier activities, like exercise or mindfulness. Reach out to supportive friends or groups who understand your situation. If you feel it's challenging to manage alone, please consult a psychiatrist. They can provide tailored strategies and support for your journey toward recovery.

Hello 2 years ago, I had ED, only sometimes (once or twice a month i used to get very hard errection otherwise it was very very spongy like) - I then had panic attacks diagnosis and started taking serlift and etizom for 5 months now. I noticed my muscles and body is grown and also I get hard errection when i have a strong desire. Sometimes twice a day but when i am sad again, i again have the problem. Is my ed because of this panic attacks? Will it go away automatically forever or can it come back after i stop medicines?

Male | 26

You’ve had a tough time dealing with erectile dysfunction before, and sometimes, medical conditions can be a cause. Feeling down or stressed can also affect your ability to get an erection. The good news is that your current medication seems to be helping. As your mental health improves, your ED might get better as well.

I don’t really want to go to my gp, and was seeing if there’s any other way to get a referral about seeing if I have adhd my parents never wanted me to get checked and I’m so sure I have it I struggle with a lot daily and just wanted some answers?

Male | 22

It’s important to talk to a specialist like a psychiatrist if you believe you have ADHD. They can properly assess your symptoms and guide you through the right steps for diagnosis and treatment. Even if you’re not comfortable going to your GP, a psychiatrist is the best person to help with ADHD concerns.

I have trouble falling back to sleep when I wake up in middle of the night. What do I do?

Male | 25

One of the reasons that might be causing this is probably stress or anxiety. Although you need to sleep, your mind is busy processing thoughts that have been bothering you. Try relaxation exercises. One example is meditation through deep breathing or exercises to keep your mind off the problem. You can chat with a sleep specialist if this continues.

I had drug induced psychosis how can I know if it’s only drug induced psychosis or if it’s like schizophrenia or something

Male | 22

A psychiatrist’s consult needs to make a determination whether your psychosis is substance abused induced or if it may signify a more serious mental illness, like schizophrenia. A psychiatrist can conduct a comprehensive assessment and steer you in the right direction for treatment. I suggest that you see a psychiatrist who specializes in psychotic disorders.

Hello doctor i have always headache and laziness i tried of my liife please help me to out of darkness life to live life happily because life is very short and my age is 25 I wasted four to five years of my life doing nothing and when I remember them every time, why did I waste those four to five years now I have not got a degree and I don't have any such good skills. I can earn good money. And secondly, the tension of my family is always in my mind, these things are always going around in my mind because my family environment is very disturbed and nothing is going right here.And every time I'm stressed I always have depression

Male | 25

This could be due to stress, not enough sleep, bad eating habits, or maybe even depression. The best thing to do is take care of yourself by getting enough rest each night; exercising regularly will also help keep your energy levels up throughout the day. Healthy food can improve mood swings associated with this condition. You’re still young so don’t worry too much.

Lack of Sleep I want some sleeping pills

Female | 19

The signs of sleep deprivation, such as feeling exhausted, being moody, and having difficulties concentrating, can be bothersome. The reasons can be stress, too much screen time before bed, or a noisy environment you cannot control. Rather than sleeping pills, develop a soothing bedtime routine, such as reading a book or taking a warm bath to calm your mind. It can help you get the sleep you need.

I am an 18 year old female and have recently been prescribed 25mg of Sertraline to take for my anxiety. However i haven't started taking it yet because i feel i didn't get the chance to fully talk about my concerns and the potential side effects before committing to taking medication.

Female | 18

Sertraline is often the first treatment for anxiety. Mild side effects that can be experienced are stomach aches, headaches, and problems with sleeping. These disappear by themselves. If you have any doubt about taking it, ask your physician for a consultation. They are available to help you with your doubts before starting the course of the medication.

This feeling of restlessness may be induced by different factors, including anxiety, stress, caffeine use, side effects of medications, or an underlying medical problem. In case the condition persists for an extended time or disrupts normal daily living, one should make an appointment with a general practitioner or see a psychiatrist.
