Hello practo user
I can understand what you might be going through. The above mentioned symptoms indicative of anxiety disorder along with depression and high negative thinking. Anxiety disorder requires combination therapy i.e. medecines along with regular counselling sessions. Try consulting a clinical psychologist for regular counselling sessions.It takes few months for the treatment and depends on person to person. Try deep breathing exercises and share your thoughts and feelings with someone close. You can also reach out to me through the practo app.
