Struggling with Anxiety and Depression

Anyone else ever just feel numb? Or experience the constant battle between anxiety and depression? Sometimes I honestly struggle to get out of bed at all, but then my anxiety kicks in and I tell myself that I’m failing everyone. And if I don’t do something, then I’m screwing myself over. Most of the time I do end up getting out of bed because of those anxious thoughts, but then I end up walking around like an emotionless zombie. I’ve never wanted to actually kill myself, but sometimes I wish I could just “unexist” in those moments if that makes any sense. Sometimes I honestly contemplate lying in bed until someone does something about it. But then again my anxiety chimes in and tells me if I do that then I’m destroying my future. Does anyone else feel this way?

Me, especially right now. There is allot of drama in my life right now and I'm sick and tired of it. I have a baby; I still need to get up and do things, which is fine. But it's not that I'm not motivated to do these things, I'm just emotionless; and a bit of it is me dissociating and separating myself from the reality with the drama and emotions. It's very curious isn't it?

Yes, everyone has those moments. I try to find something positive to do to clear my head.
