Im 23, and over the last 2 months i feel like all ive been doing is taking medication, mostly for minor infections and pain related. But it began as one, and developed into another, and into another. I feel like its a byproduct of the stress and anxoety ive been under lately. I havent been taking the best care of myself, not noticing when my body is telling me to slow down, or warning signs. I do not live with my family, but live very close to them and see them very often. I grew up with a lot of family issues in my home. Mainly stemming from addictions, and currently, it appears that everyone in my family is really struggling with some type of addiction, and this anger that seems to accompany it. It has always hurt me tp see the addiction issues, and know i can only try to support and guide, but cant help. When i feel down like this, i often fall in a similar habit of trying to ignore my issues and distract myself with alcohol or drugs. But im really trying not to do that becuase i know it does not help, it only hurts. My families negative attitudes often rub off on me, and i try not to let it effect me, but its hard to see your family like that.
