Psychiatrist 's  Response
Hello
Welcome to health care magic
I can understand your situation. I appreciate your effort to seek online support.

As per your details, you are possibly experiencing a depressive episode. For this consult a psychiatrist for detailed evaluation. Following treatment strategies would be helpful-
1) Antidepressants like SSRIs (escitalopram, sertarline, paroxetine), TCAs, SNRIs etc.
2) Psychotherapy
3) Relaxation techniques like yoga, meditation, deep breathing etc

Hope it helps
Good luck
Regards
