Your symptoms—persistent low mood, loss of hope, low energy, and suicidal thoughts—suggest moderate to severe depression, which is a medical condition and is treatable, but requires proper evaluation rather than self-medication; antidepressants (like SSRIs) along with therapy are usually effective, but the exact medicine and dose must be decided after assessment; most important right now is safety, so do not stay alone when suicidal thoughts are strong and reach out to a trusted person or a helpline immediately; please consult a psychiatrist as soon as possible, as with timely treatment most patients show significant improvement within a few weeks.

Cognitive behavioral therapy and antidepressants would work very well for people in your condition. Do consult a psychiatrist and seek remedy. Good luck

it sounds very distressing and exhausting. Persistent low mood, loss of hope, and suicidal thoughts are serious but treatable conditions.
Next Steps
It’s important to understand that medication cannot be prescribed safely without a proper psychiatric evaluation. I strongly recommend consulting a psychiatrist in person or via teleconsultation. Treatment usually involves a combination of medication and psychotherapy, which can significantly improve symptoms over time.
Health Tips
Your safety is the priority. If you are having active suicidal thoughts, please do not stay alone—reach out to a trusted person or contact a helpline immediately.

I want to acknowledge how much courage it takes to voice these struggles. Often, we treat mental health as a matter of 'willpower,' but as a psychiatrist, I can tell you that what you are experiencing has a real biological and neurological basis.
Your brain, like any other organ, can sometimes struggle to maintain balance under stress. Seeking treatment isn't a sign of failure; it’s a proactive medical decision to regain your quality of life. We can work together to understand the 'why' behind these feelings and find a structured path back to your baseline. You don't have to navigate this alone.

I am truly sorry to hear that you are going through such a difficult time and feeling this level of pain. Please know that you are not alone, and the feelings of hopelessness and exhaustion you are describing are symptoms of depression that can be treated.
Regarding your request for medicine: In psychiatry, prescribing medication requires a detailed clinical evaluation to ensure your safety and the right dosage. It is not safe or medically ethical to provide a prescription via a text response without a proper consultation, especially when you are feeling this vulnerable.
Next Steps
Immediate Safety: If you feel you are in immediate danger of acting on these thoughts, please go to the nearest hospital emergency room or contact a crisis helpline immediately. Professional Consultation: I strongly urge you to book a or an in-person visit with a psychiatrist today. We need to conduct a full assessment to start you on the right treatment plan. Reach Out: Please tell a trusted friend or family member how you are feeling right now so they can support you in getting to an appointment. Helpful Tips / Word of
