Hi Sucy, First of all you don't have to feel alone, we are here to support you. I can understand your situation as these are tough times for the humanity and I see a lot of people struggling either they are stuck due to the lockdown or have lost their jobs or lost their loved ones. Why do you feel helpless?

Hi Joshika, Thanks for replying. The answer for your questions : 1. Few years back I started showing the symptoms and I was unaware that it was so serious. Last year I went to a counsellor who told me that I have symptoms of depression and anxiety. 2. No I am not seeking any treatment right now. 3. I have a job and I am working from home currently. Our office will not reopen very soon and I have been in my pg for the past few months.

Okay so firstly yes the symptoms were very subtle but it started to increase in the next few years that would be 2017,2018 and '19. I had to shift from my hometown in mid 2019 to a different city for my job and I was fine here for quite sometime till few months back. I started going to a counsellor in 2019 before shifting to the new city and used to talk about what was bothering me at that time. It was for a very short span of time. Presently before the pandemic I used to work for 8-9 hours except weekends. I used to get enough sleep for 8 hours or more sometimes and I have healthy eating habits (3 meals a day excluding snacks and junk foods). I never have been into exercising. Recently after getting into the lockdown phase I fell out of the daily routine that I mentioned and I don't get sleep at night till 4-5 am. I have started skipping breakfast and lunch. I don't feel hungry anymore. Waking up itself feels like a tough part. I mostly cry all night or have panic attacks. These symptoms are nothing new. These have been there in the past few years as well. Thanks for responding. Let me know if you want more details.

Thanks a lot for the suggestions. I will surely try to start these. I have a few more concerns. If you could suggest some links or sites where I can get online counselling at reasonable expense and also offline help in hyderabad if possible. A disciplined life helps me to keep my mind diverted from the issues. However I feel there are certain things that trigger the issues even if I am maintaining a discipline life. It feels like it's always there at the back of my mind. I get too nervous about asking for help. I feel I cannot explain my problems to the other person. Also probably I will get emotionally dependent on someone if I ask for help and hence keep it to myself.
