Hello thanks for asking from HCM

Repeated failures, lack of job, pressure from parents etc have resulted in persistent depression and anxiety. Your parents are pressurising you for the competition and they have high hopes. This has resulted in depression and anxiety.

If you are crying continuously then you should consult a psychiatrist for opinion. Drugs like SSRIs like Paroxetine, Escitalopram, Sertraline etc could be used for depression and anxiety and will surely help you. Please visit a psychiatrist for opinion and evaluation.

Thanks
