I am a 36 year old male, self employed and single.
So this started primarily after the passing away of my father in 2014. My father passed away after a prolonged battle with bacterial meningitis and I was beside him at every step.
Over the last few months or maybe a year, I stay extremely agitated all the time and feel disconnected from everything. I don't like to talk much and stay away from any social gathering even if that involves my closest friends. Every single thing irritates me, whether that's a knock on the door or the constant chirping of birds outside early in the morning.
I have also been having extreme difficult falling and staying asleep. On a good day, the most sleep I get is around 4-5 hrs. I sometimes become anxious over nothing and that affects my sleep and overall sanity.
I just need to start feeling happy again. I have lots to be thankful for but I have just stopped living. I don't smile and have started despising my life completely.

Hello
Firstly I am sorry to hear about your loss. Losing a loved one can be very very difficult to handle. You seem to have dedicated a lot of time for your father and I can understand your burn out.
It appears that it has now taken a toll on your sleep schedule.
May I please suggest that you speak to someone you trust or a psychological counselor. You are someone who is also thankful for the gifts of life. It is unfortunate what you are going through now.
Therapy is also available on video these days. May be you should try that just as a self evaluation process with a therapist and then proceed with other options of life style changes.
Hope this brings a smile
