Anxiety and depression
I am sad and restless all the time, unable to sleep, unable to focus on my life or career. I try telling myself that this is just a phase.. But it's been there for over a year now. I also get suicidal thoughts. Though I know I am against it, I won't deny the fact that the thoughts about ending my life cross my mind.
