Hello
The losses which you have suffered are leading you to depression and anxiety.
I would suggest you to visit a psychiatrist for evaluation and treatment.
Drugs like escitalopram acts as antidepressant as well as antianxiety drugs.
If there is intense anxiety, drugs like klonopin can be taken additionally.
Practice relaxation exercises like deep breathing and meditation to keep yourself calm.
Avoid tea coffee and chocolates as this can provoke anxiety.
Increase green vegetables in your diet as these are natural serotonin booster.
Hope this helps.
Thanks
