I have been diagnosed GAD, where the anxiety usually comes with depression. Sometimes I find it very difficult to get off the sofa, sort of paralyzed. More depression then sets in, probably due to an onslaught of negative thoughts, like "here I am again". The two together is worse than each of them separately. I feel weak and very sad. Sometimes if I can manage to relax more, some of the depression can begin to leave. When I get myself going, both the anxiety and depression can subside.

Maybe the biggest part of the problem in this situation is anxiety which is then accompanied by depression instead of solely the depression itself?

What do all of you think? Has anyone experienced this before?
