Same, and in addition to that I have action paralysis. When anxiety happens, which is often, I'm unable to act on anything both physically and mentally. I often describe it as someone throwing a crowbar in the gears of my whole being. I just get stuck, unable to move and get out of that mental state. Simple things can take days, weeks or months, hard things just don't happen unless someone is there to help. And what's hard for me is most things, especially leaving my apartment, cleaning etc.
