Psychiatrist 's  Response
Hi,

I read your query in detail and can understand the distress you are currently going through. The symptoms that you have mentioned is suggestive of depressive disorder which is causing negative thinking. Since you have already attempted to harm yourself, it seems the situation is very severe.

At this stage I would suggest you talk to a family member regarding your situation and seek psychiatric consultation at the earliest. You will be needing treatment with anti-depressants like sertraline or venlafaxine. You also should start exercising on a daily basis which will help you relax. Talking to someone about your problems regularly will also help in de-stressing yourself.

Hope this information was helpful. Wish you speedy recovery.
