Some suggestions: - Try finding a sport you can perform together with others. For me this was climbing/bouldering - if you have a climbing hall near you, I can highly recommend this.

- Try building a social "net" that will catch you on the days you feel down and motivate you to keep on doing your activities. This helps me immensly, especially with exercising or sports.

- Think about getting a dog (or another pet). A dog will always motivate you to go outside and be there for you when you dont feel too good. If you are into pets, that is!

- Patients with "normal" depression are often told to reduce their sleeping hours to 5.5 - 6.5 per day. You should however consult a doctor before integrating this into your schedule. Consulting a doctor on this topic might be a good idea anyway. (In Germany, health insurance covers this - so I do not know if this is applicable to you.)

- Get some warm and weather-proof clothing (Thermo-pants, long underwear, fleece or softshell jacket). This makes going outside (and subsequently going anywhere) much more bearable.

- Think about "light therapy". Getting enough light in the morning can change your motivation for the day greatly.

Regardless of aforemnetioned ideas, I'd recommend on taking this issue to a psychiatrist. They are certainly more qualified to give advice than I am - and can, contrary to popular belief help you in more ways than just getting you medicated.
