Dear lybrate-user, thanks for writing in. I can understand the kind of situation you are in. Besides the problems at home, the burden of studies must also be taking a toll on you. The negative thoughts you are reporting are probably representative of an impending depressive episode. Right now what you can do is meet a trusted friend or relative and share your burden. Do not neglect food and sleep. If you lose time because of family quarrels, do not try to compensate by reducing sleep. That would be a terrible mistake. Please understand this. On the contrary you must be sleeping at least 7-8 hours. Our own research as well as research across the world has clearly shown that sleeping less impairs memory as well as academic performance. It can also reduce your coping abilities and increase irritability leading to more quarrels. I would suggest that you consult an expert at the earliest so that the need for medicines can also be assessed and started if needed. There appears to be a high chance that you might need medicines. Thanks.
