Loss of interest, decreased concentration and attention, feeling low and disturbed sleep or appetite are some of the signs of depression. Consult a psychiatrist who will assess you in detail. If you are feeling suicidal or hopeless, seek professional help immediately.
Try some relaxation techniques like yoga, meditation and deep breathing. Indulge in hobbies. Spend time with people close to you.

If you are excited to wake up in the morning, you either do not like, even the current job, Or
You don't know what for you are working like this.
Take sometimes even and write it down.
If you still find it difficult, you can visit a Psychologist and learn how to design your life by yourself.

Hi,
I am sure you won't have severe memory loss.
It may be because of lack of interest in your usual activities.
Or you may not be focused on present situation.
Cool and check whether u had any bad experience or stressful experience before 2 weeks to 6months and you were thinking on that on that particular distress issue.
Talk to some Counseling Psychologist for better improvement
