I've been experiencing the following symptoms :
- Constant fatigue and tiredness
- Difficulty concentrating, easily distracted
- Overwhelmed by racing thoughts
- Unable to get out of bed due to feeling of heaviness.
- Significantly reduced reading speed due to attention issues
- Recurring thoughts of self-harm
- Sleep problems: unable to get more than 4 hours.
Last year, I made lifestyle changes to address these:
- Quit smoking
- Deleted social media, reducing screen time significantly
Despite maintaining these changes for months, symptoms persist. I'm now considering professional help.
Questions:
1. Should I schedule a visit with a mental health specialist?
2. Do these symptoms suggest a mental health condition requiring professional attention?
3. Is this normal stress/lethargy or something more serious?
I'm seeking advice on whether I need professional evaluation and potential next steps. Thank you for your guidance.
