a couple of years ago i found myself in a similar rutt as yours… all day in bed consuming various media with the lights off. no physical activity.
looking back over the past couple of years, the first step was establishing a very simple routine. physically GET UP out of bed upon waking and turn on the lights! commit to a simple physical workout… 15 push-ups first thing. put your shoes on and go OUTSIDE for a short walk.
very simple changes. one simple thing at a time. but stay consistent and allow yourself to FEEL SATISFIED with the consistency.
add new actions to the routine slowly and deliberately. always be kind and supportive of yourself.
eventually, you will get to the point where you can trust yourself to follow thru with seeing a doctor who may be helpful with managing your physical symptoms. going to the doctor may be a good intermediate goal to look forward to while you are building your basic routine.
this should be a self-reinforcing process. it will probably take many months and years to find your own rhythm. but every single day, remember to acknowledge and be satisfied with building slowly and consistently.
routine!
