Laziness or depression?

...See more Hi. Hope someone out there can give me some advice on how I can deal with what I'm going through. I'm a 29 year old female, been out in the workforce for only about 4 years, I get anxious in social settings so any advice on seeking help or talking to someone is gonna be a real challenge for me. Lately I've been feeling rather down in the dumps. It's been going on for several months now. The last time I felt this way, I quit my first job cause I was constantly thinking of leaving and I knew I could do better elsewhere. I found a new job, loved it for the most part, but the workload is greatly more than my previous job and a lot of learning is done on the job and self research. I feel like I'm bogged down with tasks whether minor or major and have difficulty getting them done especially when new things come in and throw me off. In my mind I see it as myself not being responsible enough to deal with my work promptly. Every morning I wake up thinking of the list of things I have to get done for the day but I never manage to get most of them done, even if they were just the little things and when I come back from work, all I want to do is just sleep and that's exactly what I do until the cycle repeats again the next day. I feel that my family expects me to perform well and I do not want to disappoint them. Taking a sabbatical or finding a new job is not an option in the current climate of the industry I work in either. I keep telling myself to just push through and do the best I can but everyday I get anxious about having to turn up for work.My mind is constantly on overdrive telling me to pick myself up and shake off whatever it is that is holding me back from doing my job. Thinking about having to go to work tomorrow gives me chest pains and a headache. I don't feel that I have depression but if it's not depression, I can't explain how I got from someone who prides herself in getting work done efficiently to the person that I am now.
