I have been going through a mentally traumatic state since February I used to have nightmares but no anxiety
From past 2 weeks I have again resumed on nightmares
I soon realised I am into depression from the past week I stopped talking to anybody
I sleep 11-12 hrs I don't feel like waking up from bed or changing my clothes
I don't need therapy , I feel it can't help me
In the last week I lost a close one
Especially after her loss I started feeling this way
Whenever I m with people I put up a fake smile and avoid them
I wanna go home and sleep
My anxiety was completely gone yesterday night I had a mild anxiety attack lasting 10-15 mins
Just now I slept after work , woke up to some bad thoughts can't recall
Shall I take fludac tablets? I hv taken in the past fir 2 months

Hi
It sounds like you're going through a really tough time right now. Losing someone close to you can be incredibly difficult, and it's normal to feel overwhelmed by grief and depression in such circumstances. It's concerning to hear that you've been experiencing nightmares, depression, and anxiety attacks.
While medication can be helpful for managing symptoms of depression and anxiety, it's important to remember that medication only in the supervision of Dr. and Along with the medication you also required therapy. Which can be a valuable tool in coping with grief and managing mental health challenges. Therapists can provide support, guidance, and coping strategies to help you navigate through difficult emotions and experiences.
I understand that you feel therapy may not help, but it's worth considering giving it another try. Different therapists have different approaches, and finding the right fit for you can make a significant difference in your healing journey.
In the meantime, there are some self-care strategies you can try to help cope with your symptoms. Regular exercise, maintaining a healthy diet, getting enough sleep (though not excessive amounts like 11-12 hours), and engaging in activities you enjoy can all contribute to improving your mood. Additionally, reaching out to friends or loved ones, even if it's difficult, can provide much-needed support.

Hello!
I can understand your issues.If you are not interested in taking psychotherapy currently .Then my advice would be to consult a psychiatrist for immediate remedy and your better understanding .Taking medications without any medical advice will not be the solution.
Psychotherapy is also required for long term remedies and for your better understanding of your symptoms.

Hey
We are sorry for your loss.
We recommend you to consult a psychiatrist rather than self medicating. Further, we would also recommend you to give therapy a chance, it will reduce the symptoms and help you find out the reason for recurring symptoms.
