I'm have so much anxiety and it's making me depressed.

Hello I'm a twenty year old female and I've been living with anxiety symptoms on and off for about seven years. It all started when I was about fifteen and now it's gone completely out of control. I recently had a huge change in my life where I went away to study abroad and had to come home a month after that because I couldn't handle it anymore. I started having worse anxiety symptoms before I left to go and after being there two weeks it spun out of control. Now I'm back at home and thought things would get better but they don't. My therapist diagnosed me with chronic anxiety and depression. I am even at my own house and my surroundings seem so unreal. Nothing looks familiar. Getting out of bed is a struggle. The only time I feel real is when I'm sleeping and actually dreaming. I also don't recognize myself in past pictures or videos because I feel like a different person now. Like I'm still me just a different depressed me. I just have to keep familiarizing myself with where I am. I feel so lost and just want an end to this madness and thought I would ask for help anywhere I can.
