Hi. It needs to be addressed. It has reached a stage where it is tampering with your regular routine and this should not happen. You are describing symptoms of depression but how and since when you have been feeling this way is not cleared, for which you have to consult a psychologist and a psychiatrist as well. It would be better if you addresses it sooner as they can really help you. Whatever and however you're feeling could have underlying causes and triggers. You can overcome these feelings and you can bring yourself back, but please take professional help as soon as possible.
Next Steps

I'm really sorry to hear that you're going through such a challenging time. What you're describing could be indicative of depression. Depression can manifest in various ways, affecting both your emotional and physical well-being.
It's important to reach out for professional help. A mental health specialist can provide a proper evaluation and guidance for managing depression. They can help you work through the feelings of loneliness, worry, and the changes in your daily life. It's also important to address the physical symptoms like hair fall, acne, and dental concerns, as they may be connected to your emotional well-being.
Remember that seeking help is a positive step toward understanding and managing these challenges, and it's essential to prioritize your well-being. You don't have to go through this alone, and with the right support, it's possible to regain a sense of purpose and enjoyment in life.

Hi... Please take a proper consultation from a Psychiatrist to receive a diagnosis. Based on what you have shared it seems you are suffering from some signs and symptoms of depression but a diagnosis cannot be made based on a query. Also, I believe there is a particular issue which you have not mentioned but is the core issue of your most concerns. Something is troubling you from inside and you are trying hard to repress it. It is now coming out in the form of these symptoms. If you want to overcome this predicament you have to ensure a proper course of treatment.
Next Steps
Consult a Psychologist.
CBT along with Lifestyle Changes and Interpersonal Guidance and Counselling is required.
