Remedy code: 3-543.15.11.
A young man 23 years old calls because he is so tired. He is married, has a one-year-old child and they recently moved. He feels like an old grandpa, in the morning he doesn't feel like getting out of bed, he can't be woken up, he goes to bed early and sleeps well and a lot. During the day he can still work, a lot he works at home as a programmer, but after work, he doesn't feel well and is grumpy. During the day he feels gloomy. He is also physically tired, he feels it is not right, this is not himself, he has never felt this way before. In the years before this, he was inside a lot, his parents were involved in a big conflict at the company and were looked down upon and slandered by everyone. This also gave him a lot of tension, he sympathized, had sweating fits when he thought about it, and a lot of anger, “I could do something to a lot of people. It was a time of “persevering” and caring for his parents, protecting them. It is a close-knit family, very religious, solving and experiencing everything together. His wife was put out of her family before, because she was in love with him, participating an other church. He finds it difficult to do nothing, he cannot sit quietly. They all eventually moved out to get rid of it, it was on impulse, and he hadn't even seen his new house before buying.
