I’m still very depressed, angry, frustrated, frightened, anxious, confused, a lone and lonely but sometimes I want nothing to do with family or friends or go anywhere. Just hide in my room.

I've thought of things like that it's like my anxiety or sometimes depression make me feel alone even with people around

I have felt everything you are feeling. I’m so sorry. I have been in a place where nothing could make me smile. Then my doc prescribed me Zoloft and it helped. Then I switched to Effexor and was on that for years. When I turned 50 and my hormones changed, I decided to very slowly ween off Effexor. After 6 months the anxiety and depression were unbearable. I have been back on meds (seroquel in the evening and Zoloft during the day) and it is making a huge dent in my anxiety and depression. I talk to my neighbors and don’t always feel so rushed to respond. Things are put in better perspective and I don’t take the rotten stuff so hard. I’m going through a tough time in life now (as many folks are) but the meds are keeping me focused. Life will get better. I’m not sure if you’re just going through a period that will pass or if, perhaps, a doctor could assist in your outlook. Just know you are not alone.
