Im always tired, never have any motivation to keep going. I try and try but to no avail. Anxiety is tearing me apart, I feel like there's no love from anyone. I'm always dealing with everything on my own with no emotional support. No one to talk to. Depression is taking over slowly. I just don't feel like myself anymore more. My mom was telling me how I was as a kid vs how I am now all of that sport and motivation is gone all I do is lock myself in my room and work.

nothing is forever. Remember that. You can pull yourself out but it takes work. Seeking a doctors support, try seeking out a community, (church or other) if you’re on medications maybe re evaluate them. Force yourself to come out of that room no matter how hard it is, go on a walk. You can do this!
Sending lots of love
I can relate to much of what you're describing. Anxiety and depression steal your life energy, and time.
Unfortunately, our behaviors can make it worse. Withdrawal, isolation, not doing the things we truly value. Motivation dries up. Pessimism and cynicism sets in. We feel worse, have a bad outlook on life, and can't imagine it being any differently. It's existing, but not living.
I hope you can find someone to talk to or connect with... Even a therapist could be helpful.
If you're young and able, get outside and move, or go somewhere and find people with a common interest. I need to do this too... I struggle with my anxiety, lack of energy and motivation, and a pessimistic outlook on life. I feel stuck and trapped. The combination of generalized anxiety, social anxiety, and depression is horrible. The behaviors of withdrawal, isolation, inactivity, procrastination, worry, and rumination keep feeding the cycle.
I hope you can break out of the cycle. I hope you can find connection and meaning.
This is exactly what I am going through these days.
Here's a great idea that I found helped me is that when I felt that way last year after I was evicted I set myself small challenges and worked my way up the ladder and found it rewarding as nowadays getting the 8am bus into town is second nature whereas this time last year I was terrified of them!
Over the weekend I did a challenge of going without money at all for 3 days only spending when necessary and no going out and treats for those days and it was challenging and rewarding and made me realise how fortunate I am when there's lots who really do have to go without essential things in life.
I know exactly how you feel. This may sound strange … but having been a nurse and experiencing it myself… have you had your vit D and b12 levels checked ? People would be so shocked to know just how badly those levels being low can affect you . Also thyroid .
I can always tell when my vit levels are off. I don’t absorb either well due to autoimmune issues and hsve to take prescription strength vit d3 and take weekly b12 shots . I get sooooo depressed, my bones ache and feel like i literally cant get off the couch. Zero energy!
