I saw a new therapist on Wednesday. Of course most of the time was spent going over my history, but I did describe my recent depression a bit. At the end, her only suggestion/assignment to me was to walk or otherwise exercise for 30 minutes three times per week. Well of course I know exercise is supposed to be helpful for depression, but the fact of the matter is that I have to push myself hard just to get out of bed to walk 8 feet to my bathroom to go pee. Putting some sandwiches on the table for dinner is also extremely hard. Some days I can't even get out of bed to eat breakfast let alone make my husband's lunch. All I can manage is to type a little on a forum like this.
I do try to take exercise suggestions, but when I can manage it. It was all I could do not to tell her no or give her the finger in my car on the way home (even going there was a challenge).
