I am 24 year old female and I think I am in depression. I am preparing for IES since last three years and still mt goal is clear but now since last 2 month I used to do fake smiling. I do not feel like doing anything whether it is about food or whether it is about travelling or about studies or about talk to home. This is first time in my life I did not go to hometown in festival either I also dnt feel anything. It is like I am getting stone hearted. Well about health I always feels like tired, most of the time suffering from cold and shallow breathing, anxiety,headache. I am all alone I want to do study but why I am not doing. Can you help me out what is going on with me and how I can get rid of my condition. This time I am feeling that my biggest enemy is me.

Dear Ms. lybrate-user, I went through your query in detail and can understand the feelings and emotions that you must be going through in life. Many times, we face situations in life that becomes difficult to overcome. From what you have mentioned, it seems that you are suffering from symotoms of depression. Feeling low, loss of interest, feeling lethargic and tired, anxiety, headache are all part of the depressive syndrome. You should consider getting yourself evaluated by a psychiatrist and accordingly initiate treatment. With adequate treatment with medications and counseling, you will start feeling better and resume your previous persona. Also, start exercising daily. Talk to someone close about your feelings and emotions regularly. Start writing diary to vent out your feelings. I am sure that with proper treatment and some effort from your side, you will get better soon. Best wishes.
