No Motivation

I suffer from anxiety and recently I've been going through a depressive episode. My main trigger is my parents. For a while, I have been able to control my symptoms and my life. Was always motivated, exercised regularly and felt on top of everything and in control of my life. After a month long vacation being in close quarters with my parents my anxiety and depression has reached a whole new level even for me. Vacation is over and was stuck in bed for weeks due to the anxiety and being unable to move. Recently I've been able to slowly get back into things but every day is a struggle. Any advice on how to get out of a rut? I just want to be back to my old self.

I have Generalized Anxiety Disorder and Bipolar Depression so I know how you feel. You didn't say much about your family but my family is dysfunctional and if I spent a month with them I'd be very anxious and depressed! My therapist has told me to set boundaries with my family for my health and it has helped create a healthier relationship with them

How did you set boundaries?

Well I started off by just texting them instead of talking on the phone or seeing them but again my family is dysfunctional and I don't know anything about your family

I understand, I wanted to see a psych for meds but I kinda wanted to see if I can manage my anxiety and depression without meds before I start meds. Give it an honest try. It's my first time to have my anxiety so high that I am stuck in bed unable to move. I want to feel that I can snap out of it over time with some mindset and behaviorial changes

I understand and that may work
