That's called fear. The world is a scary place. It doesn't mean something's fundamentally wrong with you. It means your environment is too complex for you to know the best thing to do.
It's natural for an animal (humans are animals, sa sa que?) to freeze when it doesn't know the best path forward.
I can't give a solution here. Anyone who's frozen each day, struggling to get basic movement going, I feel for you.
Just know that it's possible for that state to end. I've been there so many years of my life, and I don't have it any more. It comes in a little bit, but I've learned the ways to get moving again.
The thing to remember is that sitting still makes the fear worse, and that moving forward makes it a little less. It feels exactly the opposite, but once you're moving your body is producing dopamine, which reduces pain.
Also, be aware that depression and anxiety tend to be worst in the morning. For most people at least, it's worst in the morning then gets less over the course of the day.
Sleep is the only medicine
