Depression and anxiety often go hand in hand. I get anxiety real bad lately when I am severely depressed. This is new to me in the last five years. I get paranoia with it. When I am in a depression and get the anxiety I can't leave the house. When I am not depressed and get anxiety I also don't want to drive or go to the store but I am able to do it and walk through it.

I have a friend with severe anxiety and he forces himself to do everything and walk through it but it is extremely uncomfortable for him. He hasn't fully accepted his condition yet so is not willing to get treated for it, but that is what he needs in my view. I don't know if you are getting treated or not but maybe treatment can make it better for you.
