It seems depression

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for using Health care magic.

I read your query and understand your concerns.

From the available description there is enough evidence indicating presence of depression as unrefreshing sleep along with feeling of tiredness, sluggishness affecting daily functioning are almost hallmark of depression.

Although it is not necessary but you may have sadness of mood, low self esteem along with ideas of hopelessness when you suffer with depression.

I request you to see a psychiatrist in tour city without delay as it is important to treat depression as early as possible.

I hope this helps you.
If you have more questions feel free to contact me again.
