Brief Answer:
It is more likely depression
Detailed Answer:
Dear XXXXXXX
Thanks for using Healthcaremagic.
I read your query and understand your concerns.
Feeling of irritability, crying spells, tiredness, feeling of social isolation and stressed indicates more possibility for depression rather than anxiety.
I understand that you are doing enough to counter the depressed feelings but sometime it is not sufficient and seeking professional help is warranted.
In my opinion you should see your doctor/psychiatrist without delay. He will talk you in detail and may run some tests before making a final diagnosis and offering treatment.
I hope this helps you.
If you have any further query, I would be glad to help you.
If not, you may close the discussion and if possible you may rate the answer for my future patients.
