I can understand how exhausting and frustrating this has been for you. Dealing with chronic neck pain, spasms, dizziness, tinnitus, sleep difficulties, weight loss, and losing your job over the last two years can significantly affect anyone's emotional well-being.
The fact that you are feeling irritable, fearful, crying suddenly, losing interest, and becoming emotionally overwhelmed suggests that the prolonged physical symptoms and life stress may now be affecting your mental health as well. This does not necessarily mean you definitely have depression, but it does indicate that you may be experiencing emotional distress, anxiety, adjustment difficulties, or depressive symptoms that deserve attention.
When pain and physical symptoms continue for a long time, it is common to feel hopeless, frustrated, and emotionally exhausted.
Next Steps
Continue following up with your treating physician regarding the cervical symptoms, dizziness, and nutritional deficiencies.
Since Vitamin B12 and Vitamin D deficiencies can contribute to fatigue, low mood, and weakness, continue treatment as advised by your doctor.
Pay attention to your emotional symptoms as well and consider consulting a mental health professional for proper assessment.
Focus on gradually rebuilding a daily routine, including sleep, nutrition, gentle activity, and stress management.
Health Tips
Try not to measure your worth by how your parents treat you. Their behavior reflects their own limitations, not your value as a person.
Avoid engaging in repeated arguments that leave you feeling emotionally drained.
Spend time with people who are supportive and respectful of your choices.
Keep a record of your emotions and triggers to better understand how the environment affects your mental health.
Important:
Because you mentioned suicidal feelings, please take this seriously. If you are having thoughts of harming yourself, feel unable to stay safe, or are thinking about acting on those thoughts, contact a mental health professional, crisis helpline, emergency services, or a trusted person immediately. You should not carry this alone.

No doubt you have physical problem like pulsatile tinnitus and cervical spondylosis, but due to it's suffering, your behaviour has also changed, causing somatic symptoms and irritation.
You have to stop thinking about Tinnitus all the time, as the more you will focus it, more noises will be heard.
Regarding cervical, consult a good chiropractor who can help you and try to change your pillow also.
Now, for your behaviour and sadness, crying and not being able to work, you need a medication which can make you come out from this issue.
Take the help of a Psychiatrist or a neurologist as they can give you treatment for both tinnitus and depressive symptoms.
Next Steps
consult a psychiatrist for mood elevation, chiropractor for cervical.
Health Tips
1) don't sit at home for long hours, make yourself busy with anything you like.
2) focus on your diet also, your mom is right.
3) do atleast 15 min of anuloma viloma in the morning and go for a walk in the evening for 20-30 mins or as per your strength.
4) use a white noise device or use YouTube while sleeping so you can't hear the noise.

Hi,
Thank you for sharing your concerns. It sounds like you have been dealing with significant physical discomfort for a long time, along with job loss, sleep difficulties, weight loss, fear, irritability, and emotional distress. Anyone facing so many challenges at once may feel overwhelmed and exhausted.
The symptoms you described, such as disturbed sleep, loss of interest, frequent crying, irritability, and changes in appetite, may be related to emotional stress and could also be signs of depression. However, a proper assessment is needed before reaching any conclusion.
Please try not to blame yourself for feeling this way. Along with continuing medical follow-up for your physical health concerns, consider consulting a counselling psychologist or mental health professional. Therapy, especially CBT, can help you manage stress, negative thoughts, emotional distress, and improve coping skills.
You may also continue practising relaxation techniques, deep breathing exercises, maintaining a daily routine, and staying connected with supportive family members.
Take care.

Hi
you have been dealing with significant physical symptoms for a long time, and the impact on your life has been substantial. Losing your job, ongoing pain, dizziness, sleep disturbance, weight loss, irritability, crying spells, fear, and reduced enjoyment of life can take a heavy emotional toll on anyone. While physical illnesses can certainly affect mood, the symptoms you describe also suggest that you may be experiencing depression and anxiety alongside your medical condition. The fact that you feel persistently distressed, have sleep problems, cry unexpectedly, and become easily irritated are signs worth taking seriously rather than dismissing as “normal.”
I would encourage you to consult both a neurologist/orthopedic specialist for a fresh evaluation of your cervical symptoms and a mental health professional for an assessment of depression and anxiety. Treating emotional distress does not mean your physical symptoms are “all in your head”; both can exist together and influence each other. With the right support, many people find improvements in coping, sleep, mood, and overall quality of life even when physical symptoms persist. Take therapy.
