I'd been struggling with reduced capability and mental health for weeks prior to that. Which was impacting my home exercise terribly. So I'd been finding class harder and harder while performing worse and worse every time. Intensely discouraging.
Needless to say, today was too difficult physically and mentally. I couldn't slow down enough.
I spoke to the instructor about finding easier (less than beginner) variations on the moves and poses, because I have to keep stopping otherwise.
I've never been able to do the basic moves for the duration. My goal had been to reach that level. Now, I can't even try that.
I know I shouldn't, but I feel wretched.

Hello there,
Depression can take a big toll on our lives. I also know this first hand. Please consider speaking with your pdoc if you have one. Sending a hug and best wishes.
