1. Expression kills depression.
Talk to your loved ones, share as much as you can, and if you don't have anyone talk to yourself, and if you can't even do that, talk to any God in whom you have faith. Writing regularly also helps in expressing.
2. Be busy be happy.
Depression needs time to survive, make yourself busy enough not even to spare any second, depression would cease to exist.
Use internet and entertainment to pass any extra time. (Avoid social media though)
3. 5 am to 7 am cure.
Reserve hundred minutes each morning and spend them systematically, 20 minutes for meditation, 30 minutes broad walking, 20 minutes exercise, 30 minutes breathing exercises (pranayama), nothing can beat this if you adopt to it.
4. Medical treatment sometimes does magic on depression.
Excellent medicines with minimal side effects are available for depression and anxiety.
All you need is to be bold enough to visit a neurologist, or a psychiatrist, if you can't get support from family, book an appointment and go alone.
5. Clear the environment around you.
Stay in cleanliness, eliminate negative people from your life, wear neatly ironed clothes and accessories, don't watch any negative shows, news, and movies.

It is completely normal to feel overwhelmed when stress and overthinking start to cloud your daily life; these are common human experiences, and you are certainly not alone in feeling mentally exhausted. Counseling provides a safe, non-judgmental space where you can unpack these heavy emotions and begin to understand the roots of your anxiety. A counselor helps by teaching you practical coping strategies like grounding techniques to quiet a busy mind or ways to structure your routine that make decision-making feel less daunting. By talking through your thoughts with a professional, you can gain the clarity needed to manage your emotions more effectively and slowly rediscover your sense of focus and balance.

Thank you for sharing your feelings. It sounds like you have been dealing with a lot of stress, overthinking, and emotional overwhelm, which is affecting your focus and decision-making. Please know that these experiences are quite common and manageable with the right support.
Overthinking and mood swings can lead to mental exhaustion, but with proper coping strategies, you can learn to manage your thoughts and emotions more effectively. Simple techniques like grounding exercises, routine structuring, and thought awareness can help.
I would recommend consulting a psychologist for guided support, where you can work on understanding your thoughts, improving clarity, and building emotional balance.
Take care.

Hi
It sounds like your mind has been under constant pressure for a while. When overthinking becomes intense, it can drain your mental energy, affect focus, and even lead to confusion and forgetfulness. The difficulty in making decisions often comes from trying to find absolute certainty, which keeps your mind stuck in loops. Mood swings and feeling overwhelmed are signs that your emotional system is overloaded, not that something is “wrong” with you.
Right now, the goal is not to control every thought but to reduce the intensity of this cycle. Start with small steps pause and ground yourself when thoughts race, limit overthinking time by setting a “worry window,” and gently bring your attention back to one task at a time. We can also work on identifying thinking patterns and building clarity in decision-making so you don’t feel so lost.
Take therapy. You can connect with me on nine two six six seven two six zero six five.
