Hi RainbowManFan - welcome to PC! I'm 57 and struggling thru my 3rd year of depression. Both my mind and body have atrophied in these 3 years. I used to play racquetball, ride a bike, kayak - but can't do them now. Just walking up a couple flights of stairs exhausts me. I'm sure normal aging is a small part of the reason I tire so easily, but most of it is likely due to a lack of physical exercise for most of 3 years. I think it takes months to get into shape, but only weeks to get out of shape. Unfortunately depression leaves me with no energy, desire or motivation to exercise. Deep down, I think the only way out of this is to force myself to exercise on a regular basis. I guess I'll have to think of it like somebody that has to go thru physical therapy/rehab after a serious injury. Start out with simple exercises, like walking. Then slowly build up my stamina with additional exercises. The hard part is starting - I just feel so unable to begin the process. Hope I'm not rambling on too long here...
