Really Desperate..Please Help

Please help me..

I am in my late thirties..and with lot of mental struggle within me. I have recently started my PhD and this started soon after that. I was a young, energetic girl until I made a decision to do my higher studies abroad. It's my third year here and already I feel like I am in living hell.

These days I never want to go out. I close my doors shut and and just want to sleep. I am scared of the outside world. I don't want to eat and don't want to do anything. This fear inside me stops me from concentrating on anything and focus and determination are nowhere to be found.

I am not going to college and didn't inform my supervisor and this thought of cheating kills me every second. I am scared and worried what my colleagues will think about me being lazy and incapable. 

I went through a breakup last year and was really giving my best to cope. But recently I saw this guy's marriage photos and it's really really killing me.

I just feel like only death is a solution. Please help me. I tried self hypnosis..to meditation..to everything. I donno what I should  do? Everyday I wake up at 6 and just lie down in bed with this infinite fear squeezing me from getting up..I am going crazy.
