I wake up in the morning and feel nothing. I lie in bed for a while feeling I don't know anxious or like I am missing or forgetting something important. During daytime I have lethargy. I don't feel like doing anything. I have an important exam coming up in a week. This is also one of the defining period of my life. Also a major transition phase. All I do is sit and watch television and feel guilty/worried at the end. And it all starts again the next day. Observing this for last 5 days.

You have mentioned that there is an exam coming up and how this is a major transition period. Often times during such stressful periods there can be symptoms similar to the ones you have mentioned. There is further information required. We also need to rule out any physical/organic causes of these symptoms. Has this ever happened before ? Is there a family history of depression / anxiety ?
I would recommend meeting with a therapist who can help you with stress management. I would also recommend meditation- try using apps like simple habit/ cure.fit which have free guided meditation sessions.
If it doesn’t get better you will need to meet with a psychiatrist and get evaluated.

I understand your situation. You seem to be suffering from depressive symptoms. However more clarity is needed regarding your problem. Information regarding your sleep, hunger and concentration at whatever you do would be more helpful to decide on the severity of your condition. Don't worry it is not your fault, it is the hormonal and chemical fluctuations in your brain which is taking a toll on your mental health. It is easily manageable with appropriate treatment, so that dysfunction due to the same can be reduced and your quality of life will improve. Some counselling sessions and if needed medical help might be useful for you. I would also be more than happy to help you with that if you are looking for online assistance. Discussions will be held confidential. You can directly consult with me through Practo as needed. Online chat consultation is available.
