Sounds like grief to me. Overwhelming, tidal grief. The psychological weight of it keeps the body pinned down and the brain in a semi-off switch. Wishing the world would just go to sleep for a little while.
One of the ways to figure out if it is physical is to note how you feel at different times of the day (or night). Do you wake up OK for a few minutes and then remember your life and feel bent over again? Do you feel different a few hours after taking your medications? Do you feel better if you eat (are you eating?)? If so, does eating protein help? Or sugar?
It is a viscious cycle - brain/body -- body/brain. but break it anywhere and other things will fall in line. I think I'd start with a trip to your GP and check your hormone levels and weight.
And give yourself some credit - you wrote a whole post. Reaching out is good.
