I 100% relate to this! It's so frustrating...when you're doing okay, you both intellectually and emotionally understand that doing some of these more unpleasant or challenging tasks will make you feel better afterwards. But when you're feeling down, your brain tricks you into thinking that you're just tooooo depressed to do anything, which can lead to things piling up, resulting in a vicious cycle of anxiety inducement. And yet, if you can ignore that voice and just start doing something, anything, it can really help to pull you out of that rut, and as you say, even if it doesn't, you'll at least feel better than if you were rotting in bed.
