Call your doc: Life often sends issues our way that we don't have the skill set needed to fix. You wouldn't try to fix your bad appendix & should consider this the same way. Contact your doc for a referral to a life coach/screener now. If none are easily found go to an emergency room for a referral.

SUICIDAL THOUGHTS: If your suicidal thoughts become plans please go to the ER. Have a physical exam by a Dr. to rule out illness. The most complete evaluation for medication is with a Psychiatrist. Please consult with a Clinical Psychologist with expertise in multiple types of psychotherapy for depression with ZOOM. There is extra anxiety due to covid 19- stay safe, cautious & hopeful to elevate your immunity.
