It seems depression with obsessive ruminations

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for using Healthcaremagic.

I read your query and understand your concerns.

First of all I like to inform you that from the described symptoms it seems that there is depression along with obsessive ruminations. The condition is so disabling that many of patients with this disease get significant difficulty in doing day today activities.

Regarding treatment it can be treated by either medications or psychotherapy.
among the medications SSRI are generally effective in this condition. Examples of SSRI include escitalopram, citalopram, fluoxetine, fluvoxamine, parroxetine and sertraline. They show improvement after using these medications for at least 4-6 weeks.

Among psychotherapy cognitive behavior therapy most commonly used and it takes about 8-12 sessions of one session per week lasting for one hour.

Considering your symptoms I like to inform you that it is not possible to narrate everything here as takes hours to deliver the therapy.
I will request you to meet a psychiatrist or psychologist in your city to get it treated.

At this stage I recommend following things for better management of negative thoughts and stress arising from them.

1. Diet: Ensure intake of adequate quantity of fiber.

2. Ensure adequate water intake: Follow rule of 1 which i usually advise. 1 glass of water 1 hour before and 1 glass of water 1 hour after every meals will ensure adequate consumption of water .

3. Early morning Exercise: Brisk walking for 30 minutes at a stretch preferably in garden will be very helpful.

4. Avoid tea/coffee/ nicotine and alcoholic beverages: If at all you want to drink something, drink fresh lime water. It is very much refreshing.

5. Start your day with a glass of Lemon water with 2 spoons of honey added.

6. Don't take work so seriously: We all have the feeling to excel in our respective fields and don't spend adequate time with our own self trying to understand our own needs.
Spend time with your family and friends.

7. While working take frequent regular breaks
8. Avoid late night socialization

9. Avoid starring for longer time at the computer screen or TV for longer time

10. Steam inhalation before going to sleep will be very refreshing.

11. Multivitamin and Calcium supplement.

12. Meditation and Yoga

These are simple measures which will help you in long way when practiced adequately.

I hope this answer heps you in your need.

Brief Answer:
The medicine part covered already

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Welcome back to Healthcaremagic.

I have already covered the medicine part and any of the medications, which I mentioned can be useful for you. To get one you need to visit a doctor as online prescription is not permissible and it is ethically wrong to do so.

In such cases I generally favor fluoxetine 20 mg as it is effective both for depression as well as obsessive thoughts.

I hope this answers your question.
Thanks and regards
