If you like walks, force yourself to go for a 1-hour walk every day for a week. Even better if the walk is together with a friend you can chat with.
Thanks for your comment and sharing your experience.
Joining a gym is next thing I gonna do next morning. I want to avoid seeking professional help, but I will go for it if I have to. I am the laziest of all people I've ever known, but I am fed up with this virtual death. I want code flowing through my Emacs again.
I'd encourage you to see a professional, and re-connect with the things you like in the world that aren't working. Also, it was a big surprise to me, but the guys saying Exercise And Diet Matter were actually right all those years. I know your body is saying "Go to the gym? Oh, eff that, there's a perfectly good bed right here." but if you can force yourself to do it every day, even for 15 or 20 minutes to start, it does a world of good.
