Hey John, it sounds like depression maybe mixed with a little anxiety. For me, something that helps is to make a list of things you want to accomplish and try to get at least one thing done every day. It feels good to make progress even if a small thing feels like moving a mountain. Also physical exercise. Finally, if you like to watch TV, turn off the news. About 4 months ago I detached from social media and stopped watching my favorite news/opinion shows because it was so frustrating and depressing - it has really helped.
