So sorry to read you are feeling so low. You will definitely find support and understanding here. Do you have someone near you to talk to or you can talk to on the phone? I know when I feel very anxious talking feels like too much effort but it does help. Do you have any medication to help you when you have severe symptoms? I found the articles on this site about coping reassuring when I felt v anxious, it helped me remember the anxiety is horrible but can't hurt me.
Take care
