I can see where you are coming from. You need to just y get up and start walking some, put on the ear buds with your favorite music and get started. Then once you fill comfortable walking some get to a gym. There are plenty of people there that will help you. I would be dead now if I had not started out at the gym.

Mine may thing is asthma and heart problems. I am only 10% body fat, as a child I was probably at 5% or 6%. I had so little fat I could not swim, no flotation at all. Now I am fighting all the mental things I had as a young adult that comes back when you get older. Almost 68 now. I have to get back to the gym, I was going 3 times a week just doing cardio and really enjoying life. I dropped off after I was having some chest pain. My cardiologist just told me to get back to the gym and at the present time he finds nothing major with me.

Exercise is one of the main things that everyone says to do for depression, I think they are right.
