Brief Answer:
Probably depression.
Detailed Answer:
Hello
Welcome to HCM.
I can understand your concerns.
Your symptoms suggest that you probably suffer from depression.
Sometimes, there is no obvious reason for depression. This is technically called 'endogenous depression'.
It is however important to note that how's your mood most of the time. Is it sad or irritable? This should be more supporting for diagnosis of depression.
I think you just need some psychological treatment like cognitive behavior therapy. This should help you.
Kindly consult a psychotherapist for the same.
Wish you good health.
Feel free to contact further for more doubts.
Thanks.

I am mostly sad during that time. Most importantly i try to avoid having thoughts. Thts why either i keep watching movies etc or sleeping so that no thought comes to my mind. When i am awake i keep my mind busy in the story of drama or movie I am watching though i know that its not real.
Brief Answer:
Probably depression.
Detailed Answer:
Hi again.
Sorry for late response.
Sad mood with other symptoms fairly suggest that you probably have depression.
As I suggested earlier, you must consult a psychotherapist for psychological treatment.
If needed, antidepressant drugs like escitalopram (prescription drug) can also help.
Hope your query is answered satisfactorily.
You are welcome, if you have more queries in future.
Thanks.
