Brief Answer:
The symptoms suggest depression

Detailed Answer:
Hi thanks for asking from HCM

I can understand your concern. Due to ongoing situations you have developed these symptoms. The symptoms like feelings low or sad mood, lack of motivation, reduced energy levels, feelings kg worthlessness etc suggest depressive disorder due to adjustment issues. Because of poor focus you are having forgetfulness and confusion.

First of all try to accept the present situation. The bad time will pass and feeling depressed will only prolong it. Try to find ways to deal with it. Note down the things that can help you to come out of debt. It's difficult but you will find a way.

If symptoms persist and become uncontrollable then consider consulting a psychiatrist. For persistent depression symptoms medicines like SSRIs or SNRIs can help. Fluoxetine or Escitalopram or Sertraline etc are common SSRI drugs that are used in depression. The drugs will help to reduce the symptoms and will lift the mood. Feelings of worthlessness will decrease and motivation will start improving. Improvement of symptoms will help in clear thinking and you can think of ways to reduce your burden.

So please talk to a psychiatrist for help and prescription of the drugs.

Thanks
