Exhaustion or mood d: One would need to understand what we called the history of present illness, including your baseline and concurrent events (trauma, pain, substance abuse, etc). Now, since your symptoms are so severe, I would advise to go to the ER for a consultation. Once you are medically cleared, that can ask for a consultation with a Psychiatrist or 23 hr observation bed.

See doctor: They are many potential causes and thus it is only prudent to contact your doctor to find out why. Extreme anxiety can lead to some of the symptoms. In the meanwhile, avoid exposure to bright light in the late evening and caffeine.
