When you are going through depression, things just do not seem like fun for some reason. At least that's the way it is for me. One of the symptoms of depression is losing interest in things that were once pleasureable to you. I know I experience that.
I have been into working out with the weights. I've done it for so many years. But there were periods when I went into depression and then I stopped doing the work outs because I was too tired. The thing I loved doing suddenly just seemed so stupid for me. And then I would feel guilty for not doing it. I was going through that phase when I worked out just recently, and then I ended up hurting myself.
I love bike riding. Today I planned on going but the weather was bad. At first I thought it would be nice just to do nothing for today for a change. There was an article on Psych Central recently talking about having anxiety while relaxing. Well, that's me! It was nice for me to read that because I thought that I was the only one that felt that way.
