Give yourself credit for the successes you have had. Build on them. Find things to be grateful for. I remember when I realized I needed more exercise and to build strength. I asked myself, "But where do I start?" And then the answer came to me: "Start where you are."
I had an injury that gave me frozen shoulder. I had limited range of motion and lots of pain. I went to physical therapy to treat it. It worked! The exercises were mild and not challenging, but the magic was through repetition. I am now stronger and more limber than before my injury.
