I did that eight times to drive it in. It doesn't matter if you have been, continue if so. Don't feel bad if you aren't able to move forward, you're depressed, I've bee there and continue to be there. Right now, I'm a complete ducking mess of a person who can't even gather the willpower to finish a ducking game. Life sucks, but you and I can do it. Push onward until you can't anymore, and when you can't, have someone help you. When you cannot rely on others to help you, fortify, shut out the negative thoughts, pick something simple, do that, and then pick something else. Get mad, become so mad at your situation that you must conquer it, let the rage carry you on, and if you can do all of it at once, all the better.
Make a list of things to do, they don't have to be world-shattering, list five simple things that need to be done; dishes, taking the trash out, cleaning your room, mowing your lawn, filling out an application to a job, anything that you can absolutely do within your physical power, and when those five things are done, take that list, put a check mark in it, and put it in a desk drawer for specifically holding those lists. When you feel like you can't even anymore, open that drawer, pull out every list, and remind yourself that this is only a dip, a recession, that you can and will break your way out of it.
My younger brother's recently started helping me deal with my anxiety and inability to do anything other than lay in my bed and do nothing. He's had me pick out one thing to do on the next day, any extra I pick, and he holds me to that and supports me when I need the help. Find someone, a friend, a sibling, even your parents, ask them to support you in this way, have them ask, 'What is one thing that needs to be done?' and do that one thing.
It is not going to be easy, but with support from friends, family, professionals, and those simple tasks that you know you can do and will do because you won't let this shit fly anymore, you'll be able to, at the very least, be able to look around you and say, 'I'm ducking broken, I can barely do anything, but I ducking did this.'
So, let's do this, you and I.
