As per your complain you have problem of depression and stress. Do some lifestyle modifications like regularly do a exercise more than 20 minutes. Yoga and meditation will be helpful to you. Aerobic exercise will also be helpful. Take a well balanced diet and have eight hour sleep every day. Stay connected with your friends and family. Read motivational articles.
