Double depression and losing weight questions

Now that I’ve started working again and will have some spare change, I thought it would be a good time to get rid of this mass that people—from those I’ve just met to people I actually like—love to reference. However my double depression presents barriers that have historically prevented/discouraged me from exercising before and contributed to my skyrocketing weight:

  1. My limbs feel heavy, as if they are made of lead and I inhabit a planet with 100x earth’s gravity and that whenever I move that I am dragging them along. I feel I can hear every cell in them screaming out in pain when I move and they ache—sometimes minutely, other times greatly—whenever I stop moving them.

  2. I have low amount of energy, the majority which is spent on work, so much so that at the end of the working day I am wiped out and barely have enough energy to make my lunch for the subsequent day before collapsing in my bed.

  3. This fecking disease has slowly degraded my tolerance for pain which I know exercise will bring me due to the heavy limbs and low energy.

  4. I suffer from lower back pain, which likes to make itself known when I’m standing for just a minute.

Thus I have some questions for those suffering from similar circumstances regarding starting a weight loss programme.

Does/Did working out make you feel energised afterwards? Was it a significant increase or a negligible amount?
Does/Did working out improve your mood? Was it a significant increase or a negligible amount?
Do/Did you work out everyday?
Did your body/limbs feel less heavy after you settled into a regimen? Did they only feel less heavy once you lost weight? Or do they still feel heavy?
How did you find the energy to work out? Were there certain times that were better to work out?
How did you cope with the pain?
Did losing weight reduce/get rid of your back pain? Or do you have to use other methods to deal with it?
Am I asking too many questions?
