Test advised CBC (for anemia) Vitamin D3 Vitamin B12 Thyroid (TSH, T3, T4) Iron + Ferritin Fasting Blood Sugar
Change Correct Your Diet for Energy & Mood Start your morning with warm lemon water and 5 soaked almonds + 1 date. Eat protein in every meal: eggs, paneer, dal, sprouts, or chana. Add fresh veggies daily: spinach, beetroot, bottle gourd, carrots. Snack on roasted chana, peanuts with jaggery, or buttermilk. Drink 2.5 to 3 litres of water daily. Sit in sunlight 15 mins daily – boosts Vitamin D and mood naturally.
You’re not weak—this is burnout, and it can be healed.
Do deep breathing for 5–10 minutes daily (YouTube: “box breathing” or “anulom vilom”). Try guided meditation Talk to someone you trust. If you can, speak with a college counselor or therapist
Hi, thank you for opening up. What you’re describing — constant fatigue despite rest, body aches, headaches, shoulder pain, emotional heaviness, and a constant sense of frustration or urge to cry — can be signs of chronic stress, depression, anxiety, or even underlying physical conditions like vitamin deficiencies, thyroid issues, or chronic fatigue syndrome.
Here’s what you should consider doing:
1. Medical Checkup:
Get some basic tests done to rule out physical causes:
Vitamin B12 and D levels
Thyroid (TSH, T3, T4)
Iron levels and CBC
Blood sugar A general physician can guide you with these.
2. Mental Health Support:
Your emotional symptoms — feeling like crying, frustration, lack of energy — strongly point towards depression or emotional burnout. These are medical conditions, not personal failures. You should consider:
Talking to a therapist or psychiatrist
If therapy is not accessible, try talking to a trusted adult, teacher, or friend.
3. Lifestyle Tips:
Nutrition: Try to include fruits, vegetables, and protein in your meals. Junk food and lack of nutrients worsen mood and fatigue.
Routine: Even light morning exercise or walking helps improve energy levels and mood.
Sleep Hygiene: Maintain a regular sleep schedule and reduce phone/screen time before bed.
4. You’re Not Alone:
Many students feel overwhelmed due to studies, pressure, loneliness, or emotional wounds (including unresolved personal pain or past trauma). You’re not weak for feeling this way.

Hello Ms. Ankita Tiwari. The symptoms of feeling dull, less energetic and easy fatiguability, headache, crying spells, emotional dysregulation and sleep issues that you mentioned may point towards possible Depression. And sometimes, vitamin B12 and Vitamin D3 deficiencies can also mimic Depression. Please seek psychiatric help either online or in-person for detailed evaluation. Regards, Dr. Charan Kumar Pottem, MD Psychiatry (NIMHANS)
