See a psychologist : The fact that you are asking for help is positive. You are acknowledging that a problem exists and that your quality of life is suffering. I would be careful not to exclude any treatment options just yet. I recommend that you see a reputable psychologist for an evaluation and suggestions for your treatment.

Sounds like u: have a few symptoms of depression.A psychiatrist would be able to better characterize your issues after a consultation.You may greatly benefit from a proper diagnosis and treatment.I would strongly urge you to consider a consult.Best wishes.
