Any tips to lower stress/depression?

[jamesjustin3]

Ive got a couple mental problems like anxiety, low self esteem and depression. I have a job, I go to school, everything is going well in my life, I have a relatively normal life. Im just curious if it might be from a high level of stress or this deeply rooted from a sort of lonely and sad early teen years? any advice if I should just take something to lower stress or I should take anti depressants and if its even worth taking? has anything helped you get better mental health? advice is helpful thanks

Stop working as hard in your job and school. Obviously don’t just quit, but you should do comfortably close to the bare minimum. This is what worked for me in school
