Hello Manoj Kumar. From whatever you told, it seems like you might have what we call “Dysthymia”. It is a prolonged depressed state characterized by having low mood, issues with concentration, feeling tired, with sometimes panic attacks which are what you might be referring to anxiety fits. Dysthymic person can have Depressive episodes as well if untreated. But, it is a very treatable condition with medications and therapy, continued for a considerable time. Do not try to self-medicate and please seek psychiatric consultation either online or in-person for further evaluation and treatment. Alternatively, you can try doing physical exercises for behavioral activation, which could improve mood. Let me know if you have any more doubts. Regards, Dr. Charan Kumar Pottem, MD Psychiatry (NIMHANS).

I’m truly sorry to hear about your struggles. Facing depression, anxiety, emotional pain from one-sided love, and even fits for so many years can be overwhelming—and it’s understandable that these challenges have affected your ability to study and focus on life.

You’ve shown strength by expressing what you’re going through, and that is the first important step toward healing.

Here are some steps that may help:

1. Professional Mental Health Support (Very Important)

Consult a psychiatrist: You may need a proper evaluation for depression, anxiety disorder, and possible epilepsy or related neurological issues (since you mentioned fits). Medication might be necessary to stabilize your mental state.

Psychotherapy (Counseling): A trained therapist can help you process emotional pain (like one-sided love), past trauma, and develop coping skills.

If you cannot access a therapist in person, many online mental health platforms in India offer affordable therapy (e.g., MindPeers, Manastha, YourDOST, iWill Therapy).


2. Medical Evaluation

Chronic headaches, brain “weakness”, and fits could also indicate neurological issues, such as epilepsy, migraines, or somatoform disorder. Please see a neurologist if you haven’t yet.

A brain scan (MRI/EEG) may help rule out any physical cause for the symptoms.


3. Lifestyle & Support

Daily routine: Fix a small, gentle routine. Wake up, short walk, healthy food, and at least 20 minutes of something creative (music, journaling, painting).

Limit isolation: Speak to someone regularly—family, a friend, or a support group. Even chatting online in anonymous support forums helps.

Practice mindfulness: Try simple breathing exercises, meditation (e.g., through apps like Headspace or the free “Healthy Minds Program”).


4. One-Sided Love Pain

Emotional pain from unreciprocated love can deeply impact mental health. Therapy can help with:

Letting go of emotional attachments

Healing old wounds

Building self-worth and boundaries

You deserve love that is mutual and respectful. Letting go is difficult, but possible with support.


5. Regarding Studies

Don’t pressure yourself to catch up quickly. Start with just 10–15 minutes a day of light study or reading.

Consider open universities or flexible online courses so that your mental health recovery can go side-by-side with learning.


Please remember:

You are not alone. Many people suffer silently for years without realizing help exists and recovery is truly possible with the right support.

I’m really sorry you’re going through this — your struggles are very real and deserve proper care. Dropping years due to mental health is nothing to be ashamed of; it’s a sign that you need healing first, not pressure. Please consult a psychiatrist or clinical psychologist urgently — with the right treatment (therapy, medications if needed), you can recover and restart life stronger.

Dealing with longstanding depression and anxiety can significantly impact daily life, studies, and overall well-being. It’s crucial to address these issues by seeking comprehensive management. The symptoms you describe, including headaches and feeling of weakness, could potentially be related to your mental health conditions, but physical factors such as migraines or other neurological issues should not be ruled out. To start, consulting a physician or mental health professional would provide clarity and a detailed assessment. They might recommend a combination of therapies like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and medication. Antidepressants or anxiolytics may be prescribed if deemed appropriate after evaluating your specific symptoms and history.

If headaches are severe or persistent, imaging studies like an MRI may be warranted to exclude any neurological conditions. Regarding feeling weakened by one-sided love over a decade, this might also contribute to emotional stress, and discussing these feelings with a therapist could be benefical. Incorporating lifestyle changes can significantly help manage symptoms. Regular physical activity, even something like a short daily walk, can improve mood and decrease anxiety. Ensuring a balanced diet and healthy sleep schedule also supports mental health.

Mindfulness practices, including meditation, can provide additional coping mechanisms for stress and anxiety. It’s crucial to break the cycle of withdrawal often caused by depression by engaging in study or group activities as slowly reintroducing routine can be beneficial. Don’t delay in reaching out for help; untreated, these issues might worsen. Seeking help from professionals will offer the most effective strategies to manage and eventually overcome these challenges, allowing you to engage more fully with your studies and life.
