I kinda play a game with myself in that I make myself at least get dressed and go to the gym. If I want to go home after I get there, I tell myself it's ok, but every time I'm there I tell myself that I might as well do 10 minutes on the elliptical and THEN I can go home if I want to.

Aside from the given--see your doc/adjust medications.....of course. I'm having a similar issue. It's kinda difficult to exercise when some days it can be difficult to just take a shower and brush my teeth! And "self-soothing" with SUGAR has gotten me where I'm at today! SOOooo....I'm trying "baby steps". I'm focusing on…
