Depression: at that level can destroy the rest of your life. It is very important that you see a mental health professional ASAP. You MAY have major depressive disorder which needs to be treated. Medication may be offered and that is ok but please make sure to get psychotherapy also. Peace and good health.

Get help: You need to see a professional as soon as you can. Severe depressive symptoms like this tend to worsen without any treatment. See a primary care doctor, psychiatrist or psychologist. Get help. There are people there who are able to help.

Your Dr. can assess: for mood disorder & underlying medical conditions. Talking therapy (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy or insight oriented psychotherapy) is important for lasting change. Psych meds may be indicated. Don't isolate. Use your support system. Get out. Don’t stagnate at home. Sleep at least 8 hrs/ night & eat healthfully. Daily exercise is a big +. Try acupuncture, tai chi, qi gong, yoga or meditation.
