Hi,

Sorry to hear the episode. It looks like you are suffering from Melancholic depression. You do not feel good as the episode made you lose confidence & at an unconscious level you have started to undermine yourself. This is the time when you should boost up your self esteem.

Some medications do help but coping with the challenge & absorbing whatever has gone wrong in your life at present will solve the problem in an effective way. You can take Sertraline HCl (Zoloft-25) & Alprazolam, one SOS at bedtime after consultation with a psychiatrist.

Do consult a psychiatrist but do not become dependent on medicines. Pamper yourself, stay well nourished, do regular exercises, listen to music, watch movies, read books, make new friends, stay away from addictions if any.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Nupur K.
