What you describe sounds like stress, anxiety, or depression symptoms, especially with constant crying, headaches, and lack of motivation. Starting with small goals, regular exercise, and limiting social media can help break the loop, but professional help is important. Please consult a Psychiatrist or Psychologist for counseling and, if needed, medication support so you can recover fully.
Since you’re very young and having headache in this age is very common due to stress. First you have to identify your stress and then try to reduce it Also don’t stay alone, try to communicate with others. More you get exposure to people , more you communicate, your stress will reduce Don’t spend much time over phone.
Also consult a general physician near to your home , as you need complete evaluation of your stree level, your working background, eye sight, blood pressure.

What you’re experiencing could be a sign of depression, which is a serious mental health condition that can impact your motivation, energy levels, and overall ability to function. It’s essential to approach this situation with both immediate practical steps and longer-term solutions. First, consider scheduling an appointment with a mental health professional, such as a psychologist or psychiatrist, who can provide a formal diagnosis and recommend therapies or medications that might help. In the meantime, try to establish a routine to bring some structure to your day. Start with small, manageable tasks, like setting a regular wake-up time each day, even on weekends, to help reset your body’s clock and ensure a sense of regularity. Limit your exposure to social media if possible; try to allocate specific times of the day for its use to prevent endless scrolling, which might be contributing to the cycle of negative feelings and procrastination. It might also be helpful to introduce some physical activity into your day—even a short walk outside can elevate mood and increase energy levels. Hydration and nutrition can also play a role; ensure you’re eating balanced meals and drinking enough water throughout the day. Watch for ‘red flag’ symptoms like persistent suicidal thoughts or feelings, which would require immediate attention from a healthcare professional. If these feelings intensify or you feel overwhelmed, it’s essential to reach out to a trusted friend, family member, or healthcare provider. Remember, addressing mental health often requires a combination of medical input and personal lifestyle adjustments, and it’s possible to feel better with the right support and strategies in place.
