I would highly recommend you approach a psychiatrist. I had similar symptoms in 1993 and was diagnosed as Fibromyalgia. They put me on Prozac. By 1996, I was so depressed, I was seriously considering suicide. So serious was I that I could visualize myself driving into an overpass pillar. I got scared and contacted a psychiatrist. As it turns out, I am bipolar. Since I have been in treatment, I have not experienced the range of symptoms that I did for 3 years. And I do not take Prozac. It is the wrong medication for a highly suicidal prone Bipolar patient. Anyway, I encourage you to take that first step.
