Hi
I understand your situation . Depression and anxiety captivates us , blocking our peace and joy.
But calm down as there is a help to this .
This is a temporary phase and will vanish with right efforts.
First of all , ask your psychiatrist , regarding how long can withdrawal symptoms lasts ?
Secondly , depression and anxiety both are psychological disorders , which needs an effective and constructive Counseling therapy.
There are broad range of psychotherapy , such as cognitive behavioral therapy or interpersonal therapy where we explore and empower your thoughts,feelings and behaviours , which have done wonders in alleviating one's distress and weakness.

Self help tips.
Tell yourself the following:

I know this feeling is terrible , blocking me and making me feel too weak but remember , this is just a temporary phase .I will surely overcome this soon .
2 . I am a strong person and am goiing to and will be stronger soon.
3 . Things that I am finding too tough to do right now , soon
I will be doing them comfortably.
Nutritive food intake
Healthy Food intake plays a good role.
Dark green leafy vegetables, berries ,omega3 fatty acids, walnuts, avacado….all these help brain function run smoothly.
physical Exercise : releases endorphins,( a chemical that produces feeling of joy ) the body’s very own natural antidepressant.
Certain Studies compare aerobic exercise training to the popular antidepressant medicine sertraline.
Exercise stimulates the release of many of the brain chemicals which are in low supply when someone is battling anxiety.
Yoga and meditation :
Very effective , deep breathing intakes a good proportion of oxygen in your body and oxygenates the blood cells well thus boosting your mood.
Deep breathing also slows down the release of stress hormone .
Activate yourself by:
1 . Jogging 30 mins
2 . Call up two friends and initiate talk.
3 . Look in mirror , and talk 3 things that you like about yourself.
I hope this helps
