Mental Depression preventing me cycling

[kajero]

I have become extremely depressed and can't even get motivated to get on the bicycle. The one time I managed to go for a ride I was miserable and couldn't enjoy it no matter how hard I tried so I just came home after about five miles. It didn't make much sense riding when it wasn't any fun.

I take anti-depressants and do have an appointment with my doctor next week, but I don't even know if this will help. Even if I try a new medication, it will take weeks before it is effective.

I am in some very precarious situations at home and at work which I don't see getting solved any time soon.

I even dread going to the spin classes I take. I do go them, but wish they were over before they start. In fact, I didn’t even bother to go the last two classes.

Please help me figure out how to again enjoy something I really to love to do. Winter is around the corner.
