How to Stay Awake Without Sleep for Exams

I'm 18 years old. I suffer from severe depression and self harm. I have my exams soon and I just can't sleep. I need to stay awake but even after consuming 2000mg of coffee, i feel like wanting to sleep. Should I eat more coffee?? How can I stay awake for longer periods if coffee isn't going to help.

This happens when your body ge­ts accustomed to it. Instead of more caffe­ine, try: taking short breaks, stretching your le­gs, and splashing cold water on your face. Discussing depre­ssion and self-harm urges with someone­ is crucial. Seeking help from a psychiatrist is the­ best approach to improving well-be­ing and staying alert naturally.

I am 36 years old, doing night shift work tobearn money from last few years,pure veg,no egg ,no fish non drinker non smoker, unable to sleep properly and some time anxiety occurs.

Male | 36

This might be that the night shifts have disturbed your body's internal clock, which can lead to sleeplessness. The lack of sleep can also be a contributing factor to anxiety. Try to make a sleep schedule and stick to it, avoid caffeine and screens before bed, and relax your mind with deep breathing or gentle music before going to sleep.

Female | 32

This can be the result of many things like work stress, problems at school or home, or not caring for yourself. To feel better, try engaging in activities that calm your mind such as deep breathing, talking to someone you trust, or spending time doing something you enjoy. Resting well and eating healthy foods are the two things you should do to keep your body in good shape.

I recently found out I am pregnant. I am currently on antidepressants (50mg quetiapine, 150m Lamotrigine and 20mg escitalopram) should I be worried about the baby's development. I also had a miscarriage before, what can I do to keep baby healthy, are there recommendations for supplements

Female | 33

Pregnant women should have normal worries when carrying a baby after a miscarriage. The medications you've been prescribed can influence the development of your baby but quitting them too quickly can also be dangerous. This is the reason why it is vital to discuss this with your doctor. To promote your child's health, eat healthy foods and take prenatal vitamins, especially folic acid.

Im a 32 yr old female had gallbladder surgery in 2023 every since then I have bad anxiety because I had two surgery went into cardiac arrest induced coma so I'm traumatized by Drs and hospitals and have bad anxiety my two daughters help distract me but once there asleep my anxiety hits since am alone in my thights of the trauma I went through in Hialeah hospital ICU unit

Female | 32

Symptoms like heightened worry, restlessness, and difficulty sleeping can arise from trauma. This anxiety can be linked to the body’s natural response to stress. Engaging in calming activities, such as deep breathing exercises, mindfulness, or light physical activity, may help soothe your mind. Additionally, consider reaching out for support from friends or professionals who can guide you through this process. While distractions from your daughters are beneficial, talking to a therapist specializing in trauma can provide further relief. Remember, seeking professional help is a positive step toward healing.

I've not been getting my periods in have been on risperidone for 1 year since then my periods stopped how long will it take for my periods to resume back

Female | 38

Of some medications, medicines such as risperidone to affect the menstrual cycle is a common thing. The reason might be hormonal or situational changes. It may last for a short or a long time depending on the individual, however, if a person stops taking the drug, the problem may go on for a couple of weeks to several months. I suggest healthy living for metabolization, such as diet regulation and regular physical activity, which might help the body maintain its natural rhythm. It is advised to see your doctor who can provide you with personalized guidance and exclude the existence of any hidden health issues.

I feel a heavy heart, I get nervous while working, I am unable to understand things.To be firm, to sometimes be right, to not be unstable in mind

Male | 26

Experiencing tightness in your chest, jumping around, and becoming nervous while working is usually the result of tension or anxiety, which may cause your concentration to be muddled and leave you feeling incapacitated. To acknowledge and accept these emotions might be one of the most important things you can do. Try self-help techniques such as meditation or mindfulness to destress your mind. Daily physical exercises and a good diet can make you a happier and clearer person. If they continue to occur and get worse, I recommend you talk to your family doctor who will offer you qualified help and guidance.

Anxiety problem in many years

Male | 34

Anxiety means when you experience an excess of uneasiness or fright often, even when it is not a threatening situation. The signs may be anxiety, insomnia, or being on edge. Anxiety can be provoked by many factors such as stress or hereditary traits. To help the situation, you may either talk to a trustworthy person, go to the gym, or practice relaxation techniques such as deep breathing.

I am 31 year old living alone abroad. I am working here and going through a phase of getting married. I have had previous short term relationships. My fiance is living in India and will be moving with me after marriage. The biggest struggle these days is getting flashbacks of the good days from previous relationships and not liking many things of my Fiance. Since the recent past, I'm having multiple panic attacks and want to cry (somehow not able to cry). Also, I am getting suicidal thoughts which was never the case before. Sometimes I also imagine completely disappearing and start a life somewhere with new Identity and losing all the contacts with family and friends.
