Hello,
Your symptoms suggest depression and anxiety and you have developed a tendency to selfharm, which is not good.
You should ideally meet a psyhiatrist. Usually, in such cases we give sertraline 25-50mg, along with a benzodiazapines for acute attacks in 0.25mg dosage.
You might need to raise the dosage of sertraline to 100mg - after seeing at the response.
If there is sleep disturbance then 12.5mg xolpidem will be very helpful when taken at night time.
Dont worry, you will start fellibg much better and almost normal within some time of begining meds
.
Wish you good helath.
