It appears like you are having depression. You should take antidepressants and it will be gone in no time. However if you are hesitant about medications then the natural way of overcoming it will be exercise. Consistent physical activity with boost your dopamine and improve your mood and motivation. But consistency is the key and it will take time to feel better. Take Vitamin D supplements.
