You're doing the first step, acknowledging it.
There are many options for dealing with anxiety / depression.
Sounds like this has been an ongoing issue, what have you tried? Have you talked to any professionals about it?
I have dealt with depression / anxiety most my life and taken advantages of multiple treatment options. The first was talking to my primary provider about it.
I have done self-help options, therapy and medications. All helped, but it was combination of things that brought the best results.
Weather your 18 / 58 or 67 like me, every age group brings different challenges. But I have made it through all of them.
As hard as it sounds, try to stay positive, even it is about small simple things.

Thank you so much for replying. I tried self-medicating (don’t recommend it)
It’s really a long drawn out story, and it’s nice to know others are going through it too.
The only time I feel normal is when it gets so bad I have to take Lorazapam, but then I have worries about addiction. We shouldn’t have to live like this
