Stress or depression
I don't know where to start from.. i have frequent mood swings, can't concentrate on anything. I can't stick to a single decision.
In 2014, i have completed my PG stilli culd'nt find a suitable job... The reason is I have a fear of rejection moreover i can't stick to a single decision. In 2015, I joined some company(Noida), after 3 months i left that job and started preparing for government exams. Again after sometime i stopped preparing and thought about job private sector. Now i feel like worthless, i know I can't do anything in my life. I can't even focus on my career. I am so upset with my life.
Though the things were not same before... I was very sharp student, I had recieved so many scholarships and achievements, i was so proud but now everything is in vain.
I really want to over come from this situation. I just need a guidance. Please help me

Hello there,
It is important for you to visit a psychologist to understand your fear of Rejection and indecisiveness. It is important to get to the root of the problem so that you can stop its manifestation in your daily life. For the time being, it perhaps maybe helpful for you to sit and make a note in your diary as to where you see yourself professionally and personally right now, 5 years down the lane and 10 years later. This process may help you identify what sort of a life you want for yourself in the future and will give you enough time to plan for it accordingly. Itâll also show you the changes you wish to bring about in your life in the long term, thus helping you understand the kind of decisions you need to be making now in order to achieve that in the future.
Next Steps
Visit a psychologist to help understand yourself better.

Dear Ms. Thinking about the things which have gone wrong in the past is very common, everybody does it at some point in his or her life, but thinking about them all in and out stresses your brain. It stops you from focusing on your present which leads to failures and sadness because you are not able to do things right. The symptoms expressed by you are of depression, however, about its severity you need to consult psychologist. The feeling of self worth, rejection, not taking right decision is a concern. We have helped many person with similar problem appropriate solutions.

Yes it is difficult to accept failure and rejection especially for achievers like you.
I think by visiting and consulting a psychologist you might get a clarity and motivation about you and your future.
Don't worry you can achieve many things even if you start now.
