Detailed Answer:
Hello, and thanks for your question.

What you are describing is a classic major depressive episode, characterized by distanced feeling, low energy, poor sleep, low appetite, low libido, poor concentration. You need treatment with an SSRI medication such as escitalopram or sertraline -- this medication will address all of these symptoms and help you feel much better, in time.
