Hi
Thanks for using healthcare magic
I think, you have depression and in that case, you need antidepressant with benzodiazepine. That would help you to control the symptoms. In case, you need further help, you can ask.

Hello thanks for asking from HCM
The symptoms you have mentioned like numbness of arms, pale arms, tiredness and lack of energy etc can occur due to a number of medical conditions and also due to depression. You also suffer from depression.
Common medical condition for such symptoms is Vitamin B12 deficiency. This is a common medical cause for such symptoms of numbness, tiredness and increased risk of depression. Get your B12 levels checked and if it comes in lower range then start taking B12 supplements. Other conditions that may present with such symptoms are iron deficiency anaemia, hypothyroidism. Consult a doctor for proper treatment and evaluation of such symptoms.
Vitamin B12 deficiency increased the risk of mood symptoms in patients of depression. For depression I would advise you to take proper treatment from a Psychiatrist. Medicines like SSRIs are commonly used in depression. These medicines are safe to used and are free of serious side effects. These medicines are also free of addiction potential. Medicines like Sertraline, Paroxetine etc are commonly used. Visit a psychiatrist for prescription of these drugs.
Thanks, hope this helps you
