You force yourself to do what needs to be done. And be proud of yourself for doing it.

This is exactly how I feel. I know that I have to go to work. I know that my job isn’t that hard and I love what I do. But I can’t my body and my mind tell me I can’t. I try to but when I go the pressure in my chest is so great I can’t think straight I just wanna go home and cry… I don’t know what to do either but you’re not alone :/

I am going to attempt to do that later this morning. I used to walk everyday. I would put in a few miles a day. Then, due to bad circumstances a few months ago, I abruptly stopped and sat down and that was it. I "want" to get up and go but, my body says different. I feel defeated.
