I don't want to pry into your life, but if there are underlying events that are overwhelming you, therapy can sometimes help (depending on the situation). Problem of course though, is that it isn't cheap.
I usually get a good deal of energy and motivation from it but it's either not enough to work in my system right now or it's taking a long time. It's definitely anxiety driven depression as well.
