Very low energy after returning to uni and emotionally on edge

After returning to uni from Christmas I’m feeling that it’s hard to readjust again. I can leave the flat just fine to go to lectures but anything like doing laundry and collecting parcels I will put off for days. Sometimes I feel so sluggish that I feel like I’ll just fold over onto the floor. This is accompanied with low mood though.
I’m an introvert and don’t drink so don’t like bars, pubs. And I have social anxiety so I know that I should join more societies and I want to but that + my low energy is making it difficult. I’ve done self-care like go for walks, listen to music, watch my fave shows. Usually it’ll make a great deal of a difference. But it really isn’t. And in the mornings I find it harder to get out of bed now and am way more sluggish. Am getting okay sleep even if I sometimes wake up early I can at least 60% of the time drift back to sleep.
It’s just that when I enter my room in my flat (I’m not close to my flatmates, we’ve had arguments before and I just see them as background people if that makes sense), suddenly emotions and low energy hit me and this is affecting my ability to study and do any chores. I also procrastinate/delay sleep quite often because of low energy.
