7. Yup, sounds like "major depression" underway to me.

Unfortunately, I have seen a lot of that in other people over the last two weeks. And it's rough. Because external forces, stresses bring it on, but only you can really do something about it, with the aid of proper medical care. And, due to the state of our social safety net, that is hard to come by if you can't afford to pay for it, or the insurance that buys it, by yourself.

The good news, several major anti-depressant drugs are available as dirt-cheap generics. If you can find someone who can diagnose and treat you, write prescriptions, without costing you an arm and a leg, and if you can find low cost counseling/therapy sessions, it would go a long way to making you feel better. But it still won't take away the underlying problems, those will require different approaches.

Best of luck to you, and please keep posting here if it helps you.
