Hi Doctor, I am a software engineer. I had a 4 memeber team in my project and we were really close with each other and working really well. But all of a sudden all my team members were moved to another project and I become alone in my project. Right now I can t concentrate on anything and it feels like a pain in my heart. Something like a stone is in my heart and I feel like crying. Please help me I don t know what to do. This is really killing me.

hi sir/madam
I have gone through your question and understand your concerns.

In my opinion, presently your entering into depressive state. Your crying spells without any reason or for small issues, pain in chest, unable to concentrate, decreased self-esteem are all due to depression.

The main reason for depression is stress. Now, in your case, separation from your friends and lonelyness in the office aroused stress levels in you. As you were unable to cope up with stress, you entered into stress related condition like depression.

If I were your treating psychiatist, i would advise pharmacological management with antidepressant like SSRIs along with cognitive behavioural therapy.

I also recommend to start stress relieving techniques like regular physical activity, maintaing good dietary habits, practicing humour, talk with best friends, going for a holiday trip, practicing mindfulness and relaxation techniques.
