I agree with the timer idea. I've used that many times when depressed and it works. I think you need to face your anxieties head on and force yourself to do things. I know it's much harder than it sounds. inknow you want to do things, you just don't know how. It's that first step of getting up. Try to figure out a reward system for yourself. Like fifteen minutes out of bed allows you forty five minutes in bed. Then you can reduce the time spent in bed gradually.
As for words of encouragement, you've definitely got this. You can do this, you can start living again. You have a friend close by in me, and you have lots of friends here rooting for you. We can do this! You're great. You're not any of those negative things you think about yourself. I believe in you. Talk to me any time.
