Brief Answer:
Psychological counselling recommended.

Detailed Answer:

Hello,

Welcome to 'Ask A Doctor' service. I've gone through your query in detail.

Well, at this outset, it's only recommended that you should get proper counseling under a Psychologist / Psychiatrist on a regular basis. This is not something which can be cured with just some medications, so, a cumulated approach of supportive family members, friends as well as the regular supervision of the Psychologist/Psychiatrist is recommended in this scenario.

Nothing to worry, but don't delay it any longer and simply go ahead with it. Additionally, regular 30min of meditation, breathing exercises in the morning, and at night will be helpful.

Take care. Wish you good health.

Regards
