That's how I feel a lot of the times. I always feel better once I start doing stuff and drink my coffee.
Oh yeah, prayer. Each day I pray for God to calm my fears and anxiety, to give me strength, courage, and the tools and resources that are necessary to accomplish the work that my Heavenly Father has prepared for me beforehand. Then I step out the door and start moving forward. Please know that you're not alone with these types of feelings.
I have said a prayer for you and will remember you in my special morning prayers tomorrow that are said before going to work.
It's not so bad if you think about it.

Depression can come on from many different reasons or triggers. Could be hormones, brain chemistry imbalance, or certain triggers within life events or memories that can spark depression.
Depression if unchecked can completely enslave your life. It can last weeks so it is very important that you know without a doubt that you are struggling with depression and not something like normal sadness or grief.
Symptoms
Although depression may occur only once during your life, people typically have multiple episodes. During these episodes, symptoms occur most of the day, nearly every day and may include:
Spiritually yes I will pray for you. Pray but also be active in your faith. Use the help God provides. Be thankful we have this help because many areas around the world are worse off and do not have many outlets to seek help.
Often times it takes reprogramming the brain. A psychologist will start with this by typically searching for the triggers and replacing them. Triggers can be buried in our subconscious and we respond without knowing why. Little do we know we have done buried something that gets triggered when a certain feeling, emotion, memory, life event, or something makes the brain replay saved emotions from past events. It's more or less a defense mechanism to tell us this situation isnt good and your brain saves the response. This is how anxiety disorders work against the individual. One anxious situation in the past can spark anxiety with any similar situation in the future if left unchecked.
So pray but also act. Get the help needed and let God work as you move with Him.

I’m praying that God will fill you with the comfort and strength only He can bring. May you sense His healing grace and peace as you look to Him, Gemmy. Also, it might be helpful to speak to a counselor. I know that Focus on the Family can provide a free phone consultation with a licensed counselor if you call this number 855-382-5433.
