Brief Answer:
Consultation

Detailed Answer:

Hello,

You seem to be clinically depressed. The best treatment for this is the combination of an SSRI medication such as Lexapro/Prozac/Zoloft and weekly cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). I would reach out to a psychiatrist in your area for further help.
