Brief Answer:
Depression it is
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for choosing health care magic for posting your query.
I have gone through your question in detail and I can understand what you are going through.
From what you have stated it is quite clear that you are having a depressive episode. Depression can occur with regular stress and it can also occur biologically without any stress as well. You need proper treatment for the same. There are various effective therapies for depression like fluoxetine, venlafaxine, bupropion, mirtazapine or escitalopram and they are all very effective and mostly safe. You may also require some benzodiazepines like clonazepam or lorazepam for a short period like 2-3 weeks to reduce the anxiety and help with your sleep.
If you are averse to the drug therapies then there is also an option of cognitive behavioural therapy. This therapy is taken by either a psychologist or a psychiatrist in which the therapist identifies impaired cognitions (Thoughts) and try to correct them. They are 15-20 min weekly session and there should be around 8-10 sessions to help you with your illness.
Hope I am able to answer your concerns.

Dear Doctor, Thank you. I am getting adequate sleep but the problem is while i am awaked. I have no issues with sleep and don't have constipation problems. Considering this do you still refer clonazepam or lorazepam. Please reply.
Brief Answer:
A low dose of clonazepam should be better
Detailed Answer:
Hello
A low dose of clonazepam 0.25mg should be better as it will not help in sleep but will be good in reducing anxiety. However taking anti-depressant is a must.
