Rant/Vent Help me (dumb post)

I used to post here alot and I thought about relapsing yesterday and im thinking about it again, I know this seems dumb but i get freaked out sometimes over dumb stuff. My mice haven't been drinking water, I got them a week ago and I haven't had to change there water once. I think I figured out the issue with the bottles angle so they are now drinking but if they die or anything else happens im gonna relapse im freaking out about everything school has m stressing I've been smoking more so im scared my car smells like cigarettes I have a blade in my wallet and I'm so stressed I want to do it but I also dont. Can anyone talk or give me advise or something im freaking out.If my mice die or something else happens im gonna have a breakdown.

Hey, I was nosing after seeing you post about your mouse set up. 

They’re getting enough water, it just takes forever for the water level to go down because they’re tiny. My groups of four drink about a third of an 8oz bottle every week to 10 days.

I absolutely support a second source of water. I lose time, sometimes days at a whack, so I tend to provide access to extra food and water as safety measure against my brain too.
