Hello and welcome to Healthcare Magic. Thanks for your query.
From the brief description of your problems, it is likely that you are suffering from a depressive disorder. However, a detailed history and a psychological assessment are necessary to make a definite diagnosis.
So, I would suggest that you see a psychiatrist in your place for a detailed evaluation and for starting treatment. There are effective treatments available for your problems - both in the form of anti-depressant medication as well as psychological therapy, like CBT, which will help you overcome your symptoms. So, please seek professional help at the earliest.
Wish you all the best.
Regards,
