Hello,

Thanks for posting your query.

First you need support from your family and friends, from people who are near you and can help you while in danger. In such cases is better combine pharmacotherapy with psychotherapy.

Also you can add to your daily routine relaxation techniques, yoga. Better if you will consult Psychiatrist who can advice you above mentioned combination of antidepressants and psychotherapy. A small dose of these medications for a short time will help you come out of your problem soon.

I appreciate that you have noticed your problem early.
