Are you already in : Treatment? If not, that is very important. Cognitive behavioral therapy with a psychologist can be very beneficial. Medications prescribed by your physician or a psychiatrist may be indicated. In the meantime, don't isolate. Spend time w people. Use your support system. Get out. Don’t stagnate at home. Get at least 8 hrs of sleep/ night ; eat healthfully. Daily aerobic physical activity is a big +.
