Hi, I can understand your concern regarding your symptoms. Considering that you are facing lots of distress, I eel you should seek a psychiatric consultation without any further delay. I would not advise self-medication at this stage at it will because more harm than good. Your condition will respond effectively with antidepressants like Escitalopram or venlafaxine. In addition, you can also opt for psychotherapy sessions like cognitive behavior therapy which will help you relax and help change your maladaptive thought patterns. Hope that the information provided was helpful. Best wishes.
