I am trapped in a terrible cycle. I go to work (a job I hate), I come home, eat, then climb under the covers. Sometimes I watch stuff on my laptop, but often enough I’m here under the blankets doing nothing. I just close my eyes and exist. This goes on until I ultimately go to sleep. This has been going on for about two months now. I’m usually not thinking about much of anything, but if I am, it’s anxiety producing stuff. In a way, just being under the blankets right after work causes me anxiety in itself. I don’t understand why.
So, this leads to a life of nothingness. I don’t go anywhere or do anything during the week. I’m sure if I had friends who invited me out to do things this would be different, but I don’t. I come home and don’t know what to do. I feel anxious about doing anything so the safe thing to do is hide under the covers. If anyone has any advice for me please leave a comment for me. I would really appreciate it.

You must feel miserable. I'm sorry! I have been there before (as much as I possibly could be with kids) and I remember feeling stuck. I'm not great with advice in this but I'll tell you an awesome advice I received. Start small. Maybe decide to take a 15 minute walk every day after work. Then, give yourself grace. If you can't do it don't beat yourself up for it. Depression is, after all, exhausting. Hope you are feeling better soon!
