I know I read this post the first day it was posted but I don't remember reading the above. I probably read it and realized that I didn't feel I could post a habit without committing to change it and didn't feel ready to do that.

Even now, when my depression is about as mild as it has been in years (by "now", I mean the past two days) it's very hard for me to commit to a change in behavior because of fear of failure.

I did go to the gym this week for the first time in a very long time and exercise very gently for about 30 minutes. That has been a goal of mine for several months now, so I'm pleased that I finally went for the first time.
