Hi,
These problems could indicate that you are depressed. Depression is relatively common affecting 1 in 10 people. I suggest you see your doctor to discuss your symptoms and possible treatment options.
These may include starting an exercise programme as it has been shown that regular exercise can improve the symptoms. Also, there are various talking therapies such as counselling and cognitive behavioural therapy. Drugs may be an option.
I hope you find this helpful.
