I am not able to concentrate on anything. I have frequent headaches. My highers studies (research) are in a complete mess. I had a breakup recently after a long relationship just before it was time to get married. I dont like doing anything. I can hardly eat or sleep. I forget things and do stuffs rather weirdly. Is it affecting my mental status? Any medicine? I want my life back on track! Please advise.

You are emotionally distraught. Perhaps the recent breakup may be a compelling cause, especially since it was a long courtship and collapsed so close to marriage. Look at how angry you are, and the quicker you deal with that, the faster your recovery. Not expressing anger is one aspect of the problem, but when anger is turned inwards, it can make you depressed. The signs are already manifesting in you. Emotions that have not been expressed can play havoc with balance and mental stability. You have to put your life back on track but you need help and support. Do seek the counsel of a therapist and discuss all that is disturbing you to put the zip back into your life. If the counselor feels that you need some medication, s/he will recommend you to a psychiatrist. Do not delay and do cooperate with the therapy, completely.
