    I am so sorry to hear that you are going through such a difficult period right now. Please accept my heartfelt blessing that you are successful in overcoming your emotional struggles.

    It does not sound as if you should be fasting on Tisha b’Av, but it is not really a decision that should be made in this kind of forum. If you have a Frum physician, I would suggest contacting them to see what they feel is the best approach for you.
