Hello Mr. XXXXXXX
Thanks for writing to us. I can understand your concern.
You are suffering from job related stress. Thoughts about dying suggest that you may have depression.
Dear young man, please do not take any step which can harm you or affect your life seriously. Any stress can be treated. At least you can quit the job if you cannot adjust there.
- Please narrate me briefly about your personal details and job stress.
- Sad mood, lack of interest in routine/pleasurable activities, weeping/crying spells, hopelessness, reduce appetite, excessive fatigue or weakness, lack of concentration, sleep disturbances, death wishes, suicidal ideas : among these symptoms which are there in your case and since when?
I will be happy to help further after your response.

Brief Answer:
needs treatment, time and stress management
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for information and sorry for delayed response.
You are likely suffering from depression. It happens with many of young individuals like you.
You need treatment of depression with time and stress management techniques.
Treatment of depression includes both medicines and psychotherapy.
In psychotherapy I prefer cognitive behavior therapy (CBT).In mild cases only CBT is sufficient. In moderate to severe cases initially medicines and then CBT is added. And later on medicines stopped gradually.In CBT time and stress management can be learnt.
In medicines SSRI group of drugs (fluoxetine, paroxetine, sertraline, escitalopram) are main stay of the treatment. There are other group of drugs as well with different mechanisms and excellent results.
Benzodiazepines group of drugs (clonazeapm, lorazepam or etizolam) are used initially for short duration for fast symptomatic relief.
One can stop medicines gradually after 100% recovery according to doctor's guidance.
Consulting a psychiatrist personally will surely help you to live better life.
I recommend not leaving job for a while. You may improve with treatment and can work with happiness. If it is not feasible considering all aspects, you can leave the job later on.
For a while follow healthy lifestyle. This includes regular daily exercise (walking or running), hygienic food habits (no junk food, no fatty food, preferably only home-made food with law salt and fat with more fruits and vegetables) and timely scheduled sleep. Yoga- meditation can also help.
I also request again not to go for any death wishes. you are young man and still long way to go.
Feel free to discuss further.
