Had an interesting appointment with my therapist, a sincere and devout Catholic whom I trust. He suggested something that I didn’t expect, and still don’t think will work: Just get up, throw on some clothes, and go outside for a walk. I have no reason not to do it, but it just seems impossible after over 30 years that I would be able to do this.
So please pray that our Lord grant me the graces I will need to do this; I am sick and tired of beeing sick & tired.

I will pray of course, but walking is a good idea. It is known that walking and other exercise will increase natural levels of endorphines which will improve mood. Increase in circulation will help also, and just having the chance to see “Spring” springing up is uplifting. Give it a good shot. Who knows, you could really learn to like it, and decide to walk for an hour everyday.
 
Hail Mary, full of grace. The Lord is with thee.
Blessed art thou amongst women,
and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus.
Holy Mary, Mother of God,
pray for us sinners,
now and at the hour of our death. Amen.
 
Praying that the Lord may grant you strength and all necessary graces.
