Psychiatrist 's  Response
Hello,
Thanks for putting your query on HCM.
We understand your concerns.If I had similar patient I would have started with low dose anxiolytic like fluoxetine 20 mg or Escitalopram 10 mg with clonazepam 0.5 mg.This will help you get over the anxiety and repeated thoughts you get of your past.Also I would have given cognitive behavioural therapy to change cognitive distortions so as to able to think more positively about whole situation.
You should visit local psychiatrist soon for the same
Hope I have solved your query.If you have further query please dont hesitate to ask.

Dear
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns
L
I went through your details. I can understand. You don't have to do anything except doing your duties towards your family, career, society etc. Means you should concentrate on your current task rather than dwelling into your old problems. Relationship and failures are common problems and many people come across it every day. 95% Of them are disappointed and within a month or so will be able to overcome the emotional state associated with it. I mean to say, you don't have depression, but simple disappointment. The symptoms and negative obsessive thinking will be cleared within a month from day you realize and accept the matter. Take care.

If you still need my assistance in this regard, please use this link. http://goo.gl/aYW2pR. Please remember to describe the whole problem with full detail.

Hope this answers your query. Available for further clarifications.
Good luck.
