Anxious of taking action

This might sound silly or weird to some people, but I am anxious about doing ANYTHING. Just sitting down? I feel anxious and awkward like I should be doing something. And when I actually do something I feel anxious, also I dont have much energy to do things. Sometimes I feel like it's useless to get out of bed. I'm too anxious to find a hobby or anything so I spend my free time (which is sometimes a lot of time) I spend it being idle and doing nothing but that also makes me go insane, but at the same time I feel like my energy is drained to do anything and I am too anxious to do it anyway. I work online at home so again, Im not really forced to do much activity through out the day and I have been living like this for about 2 years, I mean working like that. I dont know why I already feel tired by doing absolutely nothing??? Also, I find it really hard to focus on any sort of activity. Showering??? It takes me soooo long like my mind keeps on going to outerspace. Brushing my teeth? Takes like 15-30 minutes no kidding. It's just hard to stay alert, my mind keeps on going elsewhere. So yeah I kinda feel like a bum, I wanna have an active lifestyle but I am anxious to make changes... Also it is very hard for me to think about what should I do, etc. Sometimes, my mind even goes blank. I feel like a lot of times I spend MOST of my time thinking of nothing and doing nothing or thinking of irrelevant things and doing nothing. I feel so lost.

P.s.

I'm also socially anxious :'(

Your emotions are totally valid! :) I would recommend slowly trying some new coping mechanisms to see what works best for you! You got this.

Stay healthy and happy.
